SYSTEMS
Working with 2cm Porcelain Pavers
While our T20 porcelain pavers are engineered for outstanding load-bearing strength, slip resistance, and long-term durability, elevated roof decks in public spaces demand more than just performance. That’s why we also supply a range of advanced systems designed to maximize user safety, enhance functionality, and protect the deck itself.
In high-wind environments, our wind uplift systems secure pavers into a tightly interconnected array, significantly reducing the risk of individual pavers lifting or shifting during strong gusts.
Our breakthrough protection systems help to prevent injuries in the event of heavy impact or extreme stress conditions on the deck, delivering added peace of mind in high-traffic or demanding rooftop applications.
For colder climates, our Heatizon electric snow-melt system keeps elevated roof decks and terrace walkways clear and safe by efficiently preventing ice buildup and snow accumulation. The system can be tailored to heat just a narrow pedestrian path or the entire deck surface, depending on project needs.
And in fire-prone regions or urban environments with strict fire codes, our Incendio steel pedestal system paired with 2 cm porcelain pavers creates a completely non-combustible deck assembly, meeting the highest safety standards and regulations.

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.
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.
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.
Yes. When properly supported, 2cm porcelain pavers are extremely strong and are designed for outdoor environments, including high pedestrian traffic commercial applications.
2cm thick porcelain pavers can only be used on driveways when installed on a properly engineered base designed to support vehicular loads. 3cm and 5cm thick pavers may however be used on driveways over compacted gravel for light traffic applications. Porcelain pavers laid over standard plastic pedestal systems should never be used on driveways or any vehicular applications.
Very little. They don’t need sealing, staining, or special treatments. They just need periodic cleaning with water and mild detergent, although black mold might require a pressure washer to remove persistent growth.
