Driveway Tiles

A small, specialist range

Driveways ask more of a tile than any other surface, so this is a short, focused collection. It includes:

• 20 mm porcelain pavers: the Andes Outdoor 20mm Paver, Norrock Series Paver and Tufa X-Cut Paver 600 x 600 x 20 mm. Check each product page for its slip rating.
• Natural stone crazy pave: Crema Siena Limestone Crazy Pave and Silver Travertine Crazy Pave for an organic, hand-laid look. See crazy pave tiles.
• Cobbles: Bronte Quartz Offset Cobbles, sheeted at 90 x 90 x 20 mm, for a European laneway feel.
• Terracotta: Alice Red Terracotta Square 300 x 300 mm and Subway 60 x 240 mm for borders and heritage homes.

The base does the heavy lifting

Whatever you choose, a driveway is only as strong as what is under it. Driveway tiles and pavers are normally bedded onto a reinforced concrete slab designed for vehicles, with a fall for drainage. Smaller pieces such as cobbles, crazy pave and 300 x 300 mm tiles tend to cope better with movement than large formats, which is why they are popular on driveways. Talk to your builder or engineer about the slab, and use an installer who has laid driveways before.

Choosing a look

Match the driveway to the facade and the paths around it. Cool silver travertine and quartz cobbles suit modern and Hamptons-style homes. Warm Crema Siena limestone and red terracotta suit Mediterranean and Federation homes. Carry the same stone or paver along the path tiles to the front door, and around to the patio, for a joined-up look from the street.

Care and maintenance

Natural stone and terracotta should be sealed to help resist oil and tyre marks, then resealed over time. Porcelain does not need sealing. Treat oil spots quickly with a dedicated remover from our stain and haze removers, and keep stone protected with tile sealers.
