Porcelain vs Sandstone

Anyone have porcelain patio tiles, wife is worried they are slippery but they (imo) look nicer than sandstone. Been quoted to build a new patio, do load of rubbish clearing and sort the borders and get artificial grass. Just deciding on tiles.

Yeah thanks for the replies, from what I have read so far they are not slippery but then the wife talked to friends partner, a "so called" landscape gardener and he started wanging on about them being slippery and expensive(this bit is true). So thought would ask the experts on all topics.

The only thing really to decide then is if we want to pay the extra, its 2 quite large areas about 80m2, about 4.5-5k worth of Porcelain tiles. Probably 1.5-2k less for Sandstone.

These ones, seem to be used often around pools so should be good. Dont have animals, other than rare friends/family dog visits. (and the odd urban fox

)

Do you know the name of those tiles?

Yeah, they are these. We decided on the smoke colour ones.
