Simola Vitrified Tiles® — The Strategic Supplier for 90% of Porcelain Vitrified Tiles in the World's Largest Office Complex

Simola Vitrified Tiles® — A Global Titan in Precision Vitrified Manufacturing

At Paving Slabs Direct (PSD), we are proud to serve as the authorized UK wholesaler and the primary strategic distributor for the world-renowned Simola Tiles LLC. By leveraging the unique industrial synergy and longstanding business relationship between our parent company—Westone Industry and Trade Co Ltd—and the Simola manufacturing hub, we have established a dominant partnership dedicated to pioneering the Simola Vitrified Tiles® brand within the competitive British architectural and hard landscaping markets.

It is important to recognize that, unlike traditional natural stone quarrying, the production of 20mm outdoor porcelain is a highly complex, capital-intensive industrial process. As a specialist direct importer and technical retailer, we maintain the firm belief that merely registering a local UK trademark to sell generic, mass-produced tiles without rigorous factory oversight is an irresponsible practice. True accountability in the paving industry must begin at the source—the kiln itself.

Consequently, we have forged a transparent, vertically integrated alliance with Simola, a manufacturer celebrated globally for its state-of-the-art automated facilities and engineering precision. By supplying what is widely recognized as India’s most prestigious and technically advanced 20mm vitrified porcelain, we provide our trade professionals, contractors, and homeowners with much more than just a surface finish; we provide manufacturing integrity.

Our direct-from-factory supply model ensures that every British project, whether a private garden or a large-scale commercial development, benefits from industrial-grade structural strength, repeatable batch consistency, and the worry-free reliability that only a true factory-to-site supply chain can provide. By removing unnecessary intermediaries, we align our pricing with actual manufacturing value, ensuring that premium vitrified paving remains accessible and dependable for the long term.

Professional Tip: The Truth About 20mm Outdoor Porcelain Tiles – A Direct Importer's View

When specifying 20mm outdoor porcelain, factory infrastructure and technical discipline are the true indicators of quality—not just surface aesthetics. While vitrified paving is now mass-produced across global hubs like Foshan (China) and Morbi (India), the spectrum of technical competence is vast.

From a direct importer's perspective, high-performance porcelain must be backed by traceable manufacturer data and certified test reports. Products sourced without these credentials often originate from small-scale "short-run" kilns, where batch consistency, structural density, and long-term frost resistance are frequently compromised.

The production of genuine 20mm vitrified paving requires high-tonnage hydraulic presses and ultra-high-temperature kilns. These assets demand significant capital investment. Consequently, only established facilities with modern, automated infrastructure can produce tiles that meet the rigorous durability standards required for the UK climate.

This is why **Paving Slabs Direct** prioritizes factory-standard production over trader-blended stock. Consistency in thickness, low water absorption, and high breaking strength are the results of manufacturing discipline, not marketing claims.

Our Partnership: Simola Vitrified Tiles®

Our primary porcelain supply is sourced from Simola Vitrified Tiles®, located in Gujarat, India. Simola operates a world-class facility equipped with internationally recognized Italian production machinery and fully automated quality-control sensors, ensuring a repeatable, high-specification output for both residential and commercial projects.

Simola’s engineering focus is on technical stability. By utilizing quality-certified raw materials, they produce porcelain that emphasizes surface integrity and batch-to-batch color matching—qualities that are essential for successful on-site installation.

With significant daily output and scalable capacity, Simola provides the long-term stock continuity that a direct-import model requires. This stability is vital for larger projects where future availability of the same specification is non-negotiable.

Technical Standards Over Retail Decoration

At PSD, we treat outdoor porcelain as a structural landscaping material, not a decorative retail item. Our tiles are selected for high-traffic patios, commercial walkways, and modern garden designs where performance and cost-efficiency are paramount.

By bypassing intermediaries and working directly with industrial leaders, we align our pricing with the actual manufacturing value of the stone. For technical inquiries or factory specifications, please contact our team at sales@pavingslabsdirect.co.uk.
