Porcelain pavers offer flexible installation options based on project scope. Concrete foundations provide maximum stability in heavy-use areas, while sand or gravel beds allow for natural drainage and are ideal for lighter applications.

Pedestal systems are a great solution for rooftop decks or elevated spaces, offering drainage and utility access.
