To dine or entertain alfresco comes from the Italian "al fresco," which loosely translates to "in the cool air." One of the beautiful things about alfresco dining is it can take place anywhere outdoors. It could be a garden, restaurant, cafe, or bar patio, and for this article, many would argue, most importantly, your captivating outdoor space built upon and around stunning porcelain pavers.

Alfresco dining is extremely popular in the spring, summer, and fall. It has become synonymous with beautiful weather, but this approach to entertaining and dining can take place in any climate. In colder parts of the country, outdoor fireplaces or fire pits will help keep you comfortable. Covered patios can make a big difference if you reside in a warmer climate.

MSI Arterra Porcelain Pavers are ideal for all things alfresco. When you entertain family or friends at your home, their safety should always be a priority. Using Arterra Porcelain Pavers will provide the peace of mind needed to spend less time worrying about the safety of your guests and more time enjoying your alfresco experience. In addition, these pavers come equipped with our proprietary ZeroSlip™ technology. This new technology offers exceptional slip resistance on wet and dry floors and dramatically exceeds industry standards.

With Arterra Porcelain, you get the luxurious look of authentic stone in a porcelain paver equipped with a dynamic coefficient of friction value, a scientific measurement that defines the amount of friction on wet, level floors when walked upon. Arterra Porcelain is at least 50% higher than the industry standard, including many of today's most popular pavers. So when incorporating these pavers into your outdoor designs, you never have to sacrifice safety for beauty.
