Black Paving Slabs

While not as common as our popular grey paving slabs, black outdoor tiles remain one of the best tiling options available for any garden – especially if you’re looking for paving slabs that blend in seamlessly with modern and contemporary landscaping designs.

Sleek and subtle, black paving slabs are particularly well-suited in the more shaded areas of your garden. Thanks to their reflective properties, they help to disperse the sun’s rays into every nook and cranny and can even make brighter plants stand out further by creating a point of contrast.

Black paving is also an ideal choice if you want to style unique patterns. Regardless of whether you choose natural stone tiles or outdoor porcelain, black garden tiles go well with both white and beige options, allowing you to create a distinct centrepiece that will catch everyone’s eye.

Do black paving slabs get hot in summer?

Yes, due to their darker shade, black garden tiles do indeed get hotter in summer – however, this is by no means a bad thing. While black tiles certainly absorb more heat than they reflect, this does not mean they absorb enough to make them excessively hot.

As a result, black outdoor tiles will typically only become warm to the touch, offering a pleasant sensation when walking barefoot and making them an excellent choice for those needing poolside tiles.
