The Advantages Of Porcelain Pavers

March 15, 2017

Porcelain pavers are chameleons that can mimic natural materials like wood and stone, all without cutting down a tree or digging in a quarry. Even better, porcelain pavers are tough, standing up to water and scratches that could wreak havoc on hardwood or granite flooring.

Remodeling on a budget (and who isn’t)? Porcelain pavers cost $7-9 per square foot, while natural flooring materials can top $30 per square foot. That alone might make you take a second look at porcelain pavers. But if you still need more reasons to fall in love with porcelain pavers for indoor and outdoor spaces, here are five:

1. Porcelain pavers are made from an unlimited supply of kiln-fired clay, and are a “green” alternative to exotic hardwoods from depleting rain forests.
2. Porcelain is more durable than wood, laughing at water drips and makeup spills which are easily cleaned.
3. Porcelain, unlike stone, is no diva. No periodic sealing is required to prevent spills from becoming stains.
4. Modern pavers are fade resistant, keeping their color far longer than their ancestors.
5. Porcelain pavers can be rustic or elegant, depending on your tastes, and are far more upscale looking than gravel or concrete.
