Whether you’re renovating your backyard patio or your hotel’s pool deck, you want to make sure that you’re using the best of the best for your property. No one sets out to complete a project with inferior materials, and you want your investment to hold up over time and give you the most for your money.

When researching which porcelain deck pavers are ideal for your project, consider factors beyond the look of the tile. If you want to guarantee that your home or business is receiving a high-quality installation that you’ll be happy with, choose a trusted manufacturer like Tile Tech, whose deck pavers offer benefits you won’t find anywhere else.

1. Lightweight yet load-bearing porcelain deck tiles

Porcelain outdoor tiles are Tile Tech’s best-selling product due to their design versatility, durability, and lighter weight. Traditional hardscaping materials like concrete can weigh up to 90 pounds per unit, making them virtually impossible to utilize in specific applications like roof decks. Porcelain paving tiles, however, are just ¾ inch thick and less than half the weight of a concrete paving tile, making them ideal as roof deck pavers. 

Having less weight on the hybrid adjustable pedestals supporting them also significantly reduces the possibility of structural failure, making your roof deck safer and able to be utilized for more purposes. If you want to build a rooftop bar, terrace lounge or turf dog park, Tile Tech’s porcelain pavers are lightweight enough to make virtually any application possible.

2. Nonporous porcelain outdoor pavers

If you look around your neighborhood, you’re almost guaranteed to see a cracked driveway or a stained sidewalk. This is because concrete is a porous material, so water and other materials can seep into the material and affect it. 

Absorption from porous materials can lead to staining, mold, mildew, hard water residue, cracking and more. Most hardscaping materials, including many types of natural stone, are porous and therefore are subject to these possible issues. Tile Tech’s porcelain paving tiles, however, are nonporous and impermeable to water and other liquids.

Because Tile Tech’s porcelain outdoor tiles are nonporous, you don’t need to worry about stains or cracks. Our porcelain pavers are resistant to stains, frost, fire, mold, moss, salt corrosion, acids, UV color wear and freeze-thaw cracking. They don’t require re-sealing and are incredibly easy to clean, so they’re ideal for any outdoor paver application.

3. Snow and ice melt system

If you live in an area that receives considerable snow in the winter, then you likely put your outdoor patio out of commission for a large portion of the year. Snow, ice and frosty conditions can generally make outdoor terraces or rooftop decks uncomfortable, if not unsafe, to enjoy.

Tile Tech porcelain pavers, however, can be used with our innovative Snow Melt paver trays to make your roof deck usable year-round. Our Hex-Tray snow melt system is installed underneath your porcelain outdoor tiles and heated with insulated electrical heating cables or hydronic PEX tubing. The heat plates then warm up and melt any ice or snow on top of your pavers, clearing a path for better accessibility or making your entire outdoor patio more comfortable to enjoy.

4. 5-year warranty

When undergoing any type of renovation project, manufacturer warranties should be top of mind. The last thing you want is to be liable for payment if your materials are defective or fail through no fault of your own.

Tile Tech’s porcelain paving tiles, ipe wood deck tiles and adjustable pedestal system all come with a 5-year warranty that guarantees their quality and covers you in the rare case of a faulty or defective piece of material. 

If you want nothing less than the best for your new patio or deck, there’s no better choice than Tile Tech.
