Outdoor porcelain pavers have many benefits. They are frost-resistant, skid-resistant, durable, and easy-to-clean and have incredibly high breakage loads (up to 2200 lb), creating the perfect solution for gardens, terraces, and high-traffic outdoor areas. This course will provide an overview of the manufacturing process of porcelain pavers, explain various installation methods, and discuss how porcelain pavers can contribute to today’s green building programs.
