Move Over, Cracked Concrete and Brick
Is your patio surface looking ragged? Do your brick pavers have cracks, stains, and surface imperfections? If you have brick, it may have shifted, sunk, and have weeds growing between the joints.
It’s time to upgrade your outdoor flooring to porcelain pavers.
Porcelain tiles are the most durable pavers available in hardscape design. These modern patio materials contain recycled clay, sand, and other materials. The porcelain is then kiln-fired for maximum strength.
You have many outdoor flooring options with porcelain pavers, including
- Brick
- Concrete

Porcelain Paver Ideas That Elevate Your Space
Porcelain pavers are low-maintenance finishes that can be placed over concrete, gravel, or pedestals. These modern patio materials add sophistication to patios, pool surrounds, walkways, and wall cladding if you’re adding walls to your outdoor space.
Porcelain pavers provide a sleek, high-end polish to stone and wood without extensive clean-up. Unlike concrete pavers and natural stone, porcelain doesn’t scratch, heave, or stain.
Porcelain pavers are frost- and heat-resistant, stain-resistant, hard, and non-porous. You won’t need any special cleaners or to seal your pavers. Porcelain pavers are slip-resistant, making them perfect for pool decks and patios.
Here are five hardscape design ideas for your new porcelain paver project:
- Set your pavers in a grid pattern like a checkerboard, for a contemporary patio, pool deck, or walkway that complements a modern landscape appearance.
- Place pavers in a staggered brick pattern for a timeless look, perfect for walkways and patios in traditional, homey landscapes
- Set pavers in a traditional herringbone pattern with zig-zags that draw the eye; ideal for accent zones, small patios, and walkways
- Install different-sized pavers in a uniform pattern for a natural and customized design; use this hardscape design for large walkways, patios, and pool decks
- Position pavers in a plank layout, mimicking your indoor wood flooring, in parallel or staggered rows; perfect for patios and walkways.

What Makes Porcelain the Best in Durable Pavers?
As mentioned before, porcelain pavers come with multiple benefits, but what stands out is their durability. Porcelain costs more upfront, but once it’s installed, these pavers last a lifetime.
Porcelain pavers’ unique manufacturing process produces strong, hard tile, perfect for outdoor flooring options. Porcelain tiles come with built-in protection that makes them a smart choice for your outdoor space. Porcelain resists:
- Fading from sunlight
- Frost and fire
- Mold and moss
- Salt damage
- Stains and harsh cleaners
- Sudden temperature changes.
Other homeowners love porcelain pavers for pool areas, patios, and more—thanks to their slip resistance, cooler surface temperatures, and low-maintenance finish.
