Summit Series Porcelain Tile, Pavers, & Coping

Yes, porcelain pavers are flexible in terms of installation. For high-traffic areas or poolside settings, the most secure option is to mortar 2 cm porcelain pavers and coping onto a reinforced concrete base. If you're working on patios or garden walkways, a compacted sand and gravel bed supports proper drainage and easier maintenance. On rooftops or balconies, pedestal systems are ideal, offering stability, leveling, and built-in water drainage solutions.

Definitely. A spacing gap of 3-5 mm is recommended to allow for water runoff and minor expansion. Tile spacers help keep lines uniform, and filling joints with polymeric sand will lock pavers in place and reduce weed growth between them.

Porcelain pavers can have a higher upfront cost and typically take more effort to install compared to simpler alternatives. That said, they offer more advantages than natural stone: better durability, no sealing required, fade and frost resistance, and easier long-term care. They’re a smart investment in longevity and performance.

They can, provided they’re installed over a properly reinforced concrete base. This ensures that the surface can handle vehicle weight while maintaining a smooth, crack-resistant finish that stands up to regular use.

For outdoor areas like pool decks or walkways, safety is key. Look for tiles with specialized traction like ZeroSlip from MSI. These tiles are engineered to reduce slipping in wet or dry conditions without compromising on design.

Porcelain coping comes in a variety of sizes to complement your project. Standard dimensions include 12" x 24", and 24" x 24". Select options also offer a 3 cm thickness, delivering added strength and a more pronounced visual edge.

Most coping styles are available in 2 cm or 3 cm thicknesses with a modern eased edge and slight bevel. For more tailored applications, rounded edges can be requested to suit curved or customized pool designs.

Outdoor surfaces must withstand a range of challenges. High-quality porcelain resists wear from foot traffic, harsh weather, stains, and UV exposure. Its strength ensures your installation stays beautiful and functional for years to come.

Porcelain is highly resistant to environmental stress. Whether you’re dealing with snow, rain, extreme heat, or fluctuating conditions, porcelain retains its look and integrity. With options mimicking wood, concrete, and stone, you don’t have to choose between performance and style.

Porcelain pavers are compatible with several installation types: over sand and gravel, concrete slabs, or on raised pedestal systems. Pedestal setups are especially helpful on rooftops or decks, allowing for water drainage and accessibility while maintaining a flat surface.

Finish plays a key role in both safety and design. Choose from wood-look, stone, terrazzo, or concrete-inspired textures. For wet areas, matte and anti-slip finishes are essential and often meet commercial traction standards.

Porcelain pavers rated PEI 5 are built to perform under heavy use. They’re scratch-, stain-, and fade-resistant, and require minimal upkeep. Perfect for both residential and commercial projects, they blend style with superior durability.
