Pillar Series Porcelain Tile, Pavers, & Coping

Absolutely. Porcelain pavers are adaptable to a range of installation methods based on the needs of your space. For high-traffic zones or areas around pools, securing 2 cm porcelain pavers and coping with mortar over a reinforced concrete base is the most stable and lasting approach. For patios, walkways, or garden paths, a gravel and sand base allows for easier installation and natural drainage. Rooftop or balcony projects often benefit from pedestal systems, which provide a level surface while facilitating water drainage and access to utilities.

Yes, leaving proper gaps is essential. A spacing of 3-5 mm between pavers helps with drainage and accounts for material expansion. Tile spacers can ensure consistent joints, and polymeric sand is recommended to stabilize the layout and minimize weed growth.

Porcelain pavers offer many advantages, but initial costs can be higher than peel-and-stick or standard tiles. Still, they outperform natural stone in durability, stain resistance, and maintenance. No sealing is needed, and they resist frost, UV rays, and wear – a smart long-term investment.

Yes, with the right base. For driveway applications, porcelain pavers should be installed on a reinforced concrete slab to support vehicle weight and prevent cracking. This setup delivers a sleek, long-lasting finish suitable for everyday use.

For safety around wet areas like pools or patios, opt for pavers with enhanced grip. Technologies like ZeroSlip from MSI provide traction in both dry and wet conditions without sacrificing aesthetics.

Porcelain coping comes in several size options to suit different designs, such as 12" x 24", 16" x 32", and 24" x 28". Select collections also feature thicker 3 cm options, offering more visual weight and added strength.

Most porcelain coping features an eased edge with a slight bevel for a clean, modern appearance. Fully rounded edge styles can also be requested for a softer, more traditional look depending on your project needs.

Outdoor areas demand materials that can withstand changing conditions. High-grade porcelain tiles resist fading, cracking, scratching, and staining. Their longevity and resilience make them ideal for high-traffic spaces and demanding climates.

Porcelain is built to handle the elements. From heavy rain and freezing temperatures to intense sun, it remains stable and visually appealing. With finishes that mimic wood, concrete, or natural stone, you can maintain both beauty and function all year long.

Porcelain pavers can be installed over a variety of surfaces. Options include grass, compacted gravel and sand, or concrete slabs. Pedestal systems are also ideal for rooftops or elevated decks, offering superior drainage and easy access beneath the surface.

Finish plays a big role in safety and style. Choose from natural stone textures, woodgrain finishes, or sleek concrete looks. For wet areas, matte or textured anti-slip finishes are highly recommended and often meet commercial-grade safety standards.

With a PEI 5 rating, commercial-grade porcelain pavers are built for durability. They’re highly resistant to scratches, stains, and fading, while requiring minimal upkeep – making them ideal for both residential and large-scale commercial installations.
