CREATE YOUR OUTDOOR OASIS WITH PORCELAIN PAVERS
CREATE YOUR OUTDOOR OASIS
A beautiful hardscape is the hallmark of any home with curb appeal. Those who want to make their properties stand out while getting the most out of their outdoor living spaces know that the best way to go about improving their hardscape is to make use of porcelain pavers. In recent years, it has become popular to create beautiful pavers from tough and durable porcelain without ever cutting down a tree or digging in a quarry.
High tech manufacturing processes make it possible to generate a ceramic material that is much thicker than the ceramic tile used indoors, making it very suitable for use throughout a home’s exterior. Porcelain pavers are often designed to look like natural stone, or even other elements like wood, both in color and texture. The result is a very affordable, practical and beautiful alternative to other types of pavers.
PORCELAIN PAVER BENEFITS
Porcelain pavers have a lot to offer. Here’s a look at some of the key perks to working porcelain into your hardscape:
Beauty – With a single glance, you’re sure to fall in love with the rich yet subtle beauty offered by porcelain. The ceramic material lends itself to being manufactured into a product that is nearly identical to natural stone and wood without their inherent maintenance hassles. Porcelain pavers can be rustic or elegant, depending on your tastes, and are far more upscale looking than gravel or concrete.
Budget Friendly – Porcelain is an extremely low-cost alternative to working with natural materials.
Traction – Porcelain offers fantastic traction and is perfect for swimming pool decks or for creating walkways in areas subject to rain or water from irrigation systems.
Durable – Porcelain is an extremely hard and tough material, and the pavers are even thicker than normal which adds to their strength. Unlike natural stone or concrete, porcelain pavers require no periodic sealing to prevent spills from becoming stains. Modern pavers are fade resistant, keeping their color far longer than the alternatives.
Easy to Clean – Porcelain is relatively stain-resistant and is very easy to clean and maintain.
Green – Porcelain pavers are made from an unlimited supply of kiln-fired clay, and are a “green” alternative to exotic hardwoods from depleting rain forests.
WHERE TO USE PORCELAIN PAVERS
Driveways – Porcelain pavers are the perfect choice for anyone looking to install an impressive and one-of-a-kind front drive that will impress guests, compliment the look of the home, and be highly practical. Because they are permeable pavers, you won’t have to worry about pooling, flooding or runoff during the rain. The pavers also move with the earth, so you won’t have to deal with cracking and shifting.
Walkways – You’ll love creating a romantic, charming, and tranquil pathway with porcelain pavers. These lovely pavers can work to establish a warm and inviting walkway to the front of your home or business, a peaceful garden lane or to connect various points of the property together.
Patios – Patios are the hub of outdoor gatherings with family, friends and neighbors. Because of this, it’s important to create a space that will not only feel welcoming and soothing, but that will also accommodate your needs. Porcelain pavers will set the tone, offering you many different styling options to meet your every whim. The pavers won’t absorb heat from the sun and don’t scratch or stain easily, ensuring that they’ll survive even the wildest of get togethers.
Pool Decks – Porcelain pavers ensure that your pool deck will not only look absolutely incredible, but will also be safe.
When it comes to improving your home’s value with new hardscaping, walkways or decks, you now have a far wider range of choices than were available only a few years ago. Our tile consultants and designers are excited by the new, cost-effective and environmentally friendly options they can offer, and will be happy to show you how porcelain pavers can enhance the look of your home.
