PORCELAIN PAVERS ADVANTAGES
Porcelain is a type of ceramic, which is a broad category of building materials. The term is used to describe products made from the purest natural materials, such as clays, sands, quartz, kaolin, and feldspar. Porcelain, like ceramic, is created without the use of resin, glue, or cement.
Porcelain is a known for its strength, density, and low porosity. Porcelain is denser and thus less porous than traditional ceramic tiles, making it more durable and suitable for heavy use (both commercial and residential). Because of these characteristics, it is an excellent choice for outdoor flooring applications such as patios, walkways, and pool decks. Porcelain pavers are also available in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes to accommodate any design requirement.
Porcelain pavers are an excellent choice for your project if you want a "natural stone look" paver without the high cost of natural stone, or if you are installing the paver near water and want to use a more appropriate material. Porcelain's main selling points are its pristine appearance and incredible long-term resistance. The manufacturing process results in a non-porous and extremely resistant material that can be used both inside and outside. The characteristics of porcelain pavers enable architects and designers to use a construction material that meets aesthetic expectations while not compromising technical functions that are essential in any residential or commercial project.
