Versatile 2cm Porcelain Pavers
Porcelain pavers represent the pinnacle of modern outdoor surfacing technology, combining exceptional durability with stunning aesthetic appeal. Our T20 2cm porcelain pavers offer the optimal balance between structural integrity and practical installation requirements.

High Load Bearing Capacity
Just 3/4″ (2cm) thick, weighing only 9lb/sq.ft. and able to support up to 2000lb, these dense, load bearing, heavy-duty 2cm pavers possess all the technical and aesthetic qualities to meet the exacting requirements of architects and landscape designers, whether used on pedestal supported elevated rooftop decks, laid over existing concrete patios with stackable rubber pads, mortar set on concrete for driveways or pathways or laid directly over sand or gravel beds for pedestrian plazas or general on-grade landscape paving applications.
Lightweight
At just 9lb/sq.ft. our porcelain 2cm deck pavers are much better than concrete pavers to transport and install, especially when building rooftop decks on high-rise building applications where they can be easily transported in service elevators. No cranes or heavy lift equipment needed.
Colors with Depth & Character
Unlike concrete pavers, the sophisticated digital printing techniques used in the manufacture of porcelain pavers can faithfully replicate the unique visual features of both wood and natural stone, capturing the inherent warmth and beauty of natural wood, and replicating the subtle color variations, distinctive features, grain highlights, shadows and surface texture of quarried stone from around the world, including travertine, slate, bluestone, marble and quartzite, for a totally natural effect. The result is outdoor surfaces with undeniable elegance and personality, durable, hard wearing, totally fireproof, frost proof and stain resistant.
Unmatched Range of Colors and Styles
As one of the major suppliers of exterior porcelain pavers in the country, we stock over 50 colors of USA made 2cm porcelain pavers, more than 30 colors/sizes of Italian made pavers including 50mm and 30mm porcelain pavers, plus we have access to over 200 additional colors and sizes of pavers from our Italian suppliers. Samples can be ordered directly from the individual pages within our Explore colors and styles page where you can see all color options in our current collections.
Safety Features for Commercial Use
While our T20 porcelain pavers feature exceptional durability, wear resistance and slip resistance, in commercial uses for 2cm pavers, we also provide systems for ensuring maximum safety of elevated roof decks in public places, in respect of both the deck itself and pedestrian traffic.
In locations subject to high wind gusts, our wind uplift systems for rooftop pedestal paver installations are designed to hold the pavers in a contiguous array, which minimizes the ability of wind to lift up individual pavers.
For rooftop bars, restaurants and pool deck areas in particular, our break through protection systems are a crucial consideration where damage to pavers may occur due to impact by heavy objects or extreme stress conditions. Archatrak offers several solutions for safety protection including metal plates, self-adhesive sheets and fiberglass grating panels.
To ensure safe walking surfaces during winter conditions, our ‘Heatizon’ electric snow melt system efficiently prevents ice formation and snow accumulation on pedestal supported porcelain pavers roof decks, terraces and walkways, and can be used to simply heat a row of pavers for pedestrian access or can be used on an entire elevated deck.

Detailed technical and testing data for Archatrak T20 porcelain pavers including slip resistance, SRI measurements, breaking strength measurements, fire resistance and general properties, all tested in accordance with ASTM and other international standards, is available from our downloads page, allowing architects and contractors to make informed decisions based on certified test results including safety and slip resistance, for specific project conditions.
Key Advantages of T20 Porcelain Pavers vs Concrete Pavers










FAQ
What are the advantages of using 2CM porcelain pavers for outdoor spaces?
2CM porcelain pavers offer numerous benefits for outdoor applications. They are highly durable, resistant to stains, scratches, and frost, making them suitable for various climates. Additionally, their low water absorption rate ensures minimal maintenance. Available in a wide range of designs and textures, they can mimic natural stone, wood, or concrete, providing aesthetic versatility for patios, decks, and walkways, including spaces where safety and slip resistance are of prime importance.
How do 2CM porcelain pavers compare to traditional concrete pavers in terms of durability and maintenance?
Compared to traditional concrete pavers, 2CM porcelain pavers are more durable and require less maintenance. Porcelain’s non-porous nature makes it resistant to moisture, preventing issues like cracking or efflorescence common in concrete pavers. Furthermore, porcelain pavers retain their color and finish over time without the need for sealing, offering long-term aesthetic appeal with minimal upkeep.
Can porcelain 2CM pavers be installed over existing surfaces, and what are the recommended installation methods?
Yes, porcelain 2CM outdoor pavers can be installed over existing surfaces, provided the substrate is stable and level. Common installation methods include dry-laying on grass, gravel, or sand for temporary or movable solutions, and using pedestal systems for elevated decks or terraces. For permanent installations, they can be adhered to a concrete slab with mortar. It’s essential to follow manufacturer guidelines and consult with professionals to determine the best method for your specific project.

There are two basic installation methods for 2cm porcelain pavers – elevated and on-grade
Elevated Decks with Pedestal Systems
Utilizing slope-correcting, height-adjustable screwjack pedestals, T20 porcelain pavers can transform any surface into an elegant, perfectly horizontal deck. Whether it’s a rooftop, terrace or balcony, pedestal paver systems provide a stable, load-bearing foundation not just for 2cm porcelain pavers, but also for Ipe wood deck tiles and concrete pavers.
On-Grade Landscaping
Our 2cm outdoor pavers offer landscape designers unequalled color and style design options for outdoor paver installations. With styles that replicate the look of wood, cement, travertine, slate, marble, terracotta, terrazzo, metal and more, there’s undoubtably a color or style of 2cm outdoor pavers to suit practically any environment, whether it is modern, classic or rustic.
Floating Decks over Concrete Patios
Instead of laying ceramic or porcelain tiles over an existing concrete patio with mortar and grout, a much simpler method is to lay porcelain 2cm patio pavers over stackable fixed height rubber pads. This method also overcomes the problems with cracked concrete where traditional mortar set installation normally cannot be employed.
