Whether you’re looking to remodel an existing pool or patio or are getting ready to hardscape your backyard for the first time, you might be overwhelmed at the number of surface options there are to choose from. While more traditional materials like concrete and natural stone products used to be the most popular options, porcelain pavers are quickly gaining the lead as people realize all the benefits they have to offer for outdoor use.

Porcelain Pavers – Unmatched Beauty and Durability

Porcelain pavers are unmatched in their combination of beauty and durability. These unique paving slabs are made from the highest grade of porcelain, offering an ideal alternative to natural stone and concrete pavers. Made with kiln-filtered clay and recycled materials, these paving stones have been used in some of the world’s most climatically challenging environments. Along with their superior density, porcelain pavers undergo a patented, proprietary process to achieve uniformity throughout each slab, which lends to their beautiful aesthetic appeal.

Benefits of Hardscaping with Porcelain Pavers

Porcelain pavers are quickly growing in popularity as more people realize the vast number of benefits of using them for hardscaping:

  • In contrast to their natural stone and concrete counterparts, porcelain pavers are naturally stain- and chemical-resistant without requiring sealing.
  • They’re incredibly easy to clean and maintain and have no efflorescence, which means their stunning appearance outlasts most other materials for outdoor use.
  • They’re also highly scratch- and abrasion-resistant and have a non-slip surface.
  • For those residing in areas where the weather gets cold, porcelain pavers are not only impermeable – meaning you can use all de-icing salts and similar materials without damaging them – they’re also 100 percent frost-free.
  • As far as aesthetic appeal is concerned, the color in porcelain pavers is fused into the surface through a vitrification process, so it’s not affected by the elements and will never become discolored. Their stain-resistant properties combined with their ultra-low moisture absorption and resistance to mold and moss growth allow them to retain a beautiful appearance with very little maintenance involved.

Applications and Installation

Porcelain pavers can be made to mimic the appearance and texture of a wide range of natural stones. They’re often made to look like quartz and travertine and come so close to the real thing that it’s not easy to tell them apart. Their ability to be made in a vast range of sizes and colors allows for creativity in patterning and hardscape design. Porcelain pavers are used for everything from patios and pool decks to gardens, walkways, entranceways, and more.

Porcelain pavers are easy to install over various bases, including grass, concrete, compacted sand, and gravel. Their lightweight design and precision sizing for uniformity also lend to their ease of installation.

Now that you know all about this versatile material, let’s take a look at some of the most exciting and appealing ways porcelain pavers can be used to enhance and elevate your backyard.
