PORCELAIN PAVERS & COPING

Porcelain pavers give you the freedom to choose the installation method that best suits your project. For high-traffic and long-term durability - especially around pools - it’s best to mortared down 2 cm porcelain pavers with matching coping onto a reinforced concrete slab. On the other hand, a base of gravel and sand improves drainage and simplifies leveling, which works well for patios or terraces. When installing on rooftops or raised platforms, pedestal systems are ideal; they allow water to drain and conceal mechanicals, creating a refined finish.

Yes, you’ll need joint spacing for proper expansion and drainage. Leave a consistent gap of roughly 3-5 mm between pavers. Using tile spacers is recommended to ensure clean lines. After laying, fill joints with polymeric sand to lock stones in place, reduce shifting, and prevent weeds from growing.

Porcelain pavers do come with a higher upfront cost and can be more cumbersome to install compared to peel-and-stick options. That said, they outperform natural stone in many ways - no sealing required, excellent stain and fade resistance, frost‑proof, and slip-safe. With proper installation, they offer exceptional longevity and minimal upkeep.
