Updated November 2026
Quick answer: Pyro + Echo has six 20mm outdoor porcelain ranges, all with a matt R11 surface, in sizes from 595 x 595mm to 600 x 900mm. For raised decks on four pedestals, choose Spinners Gate Stone 2cm, Street Scene or Sidewalk, which are UPEC certified for a four-pedestal system.
All six ranges are in our Outdoor Collection. This guide helps you choose between them. For laying methods, read how to install 2cm outdoor tiles, and for how slip resistance is measured, read our slip rating advice.
Choose by look
For a natural stone look, choose Spinners Gate Stone 2cm, which captures the texture of weathered sandstone, The Shorelands Stone 2cm or Street Scene. For a concrete look, choose Qubus Park Concrete 2cm, in six cement-toned colours, or Sidewalk, a distressed concrete in Anthracite, Beige and Grey. Magna 2.0 comes in three colours in a 600 x 900mm format.
Choose by size
Street Scene and Sidewalk are 595 x 595mm. Spinners Gate Stone 2cm and Qubus Park Concrete 2cm are 600 x 600mm. The Shorelands Stone 2cm comes in 600 x 600 and 600 x 900mm, and Magna 2.0 in 600 x 900mm.
Choose by installation
For raised decks and roof terraces, three ranges are UPEC certified for a four-pedestal system, with one pedestal at each corner and no fifth support under the centre. Spinners Gate Stone 2cm is UPEC U4 P3 E3 C2 F+ with a breaking strength of at least 11,000 N. Street Scene and Sidewalk are UPEC U3 P3 E3 C2. These three ranges can also be laid on gravel or sand, or bonded with adhesive or to a screed. Pedestal type, height and load capacity should be confirmed for each project.
Choose by slip rating
All six ranges are rated R11. The Shorelands Stone 2cm, Magna 2.0, Street Scene and Sidewalk are also listed at PTV 36+, which Pyro + Echo classes as low slip potential. Sidewalk is R11 barefoot class C.
