Outdoor

Every surface an outdoor space needs, rated for weather and specified together.

Why It Reads Right
Specified Together.

Outdoor surfaces are specified against weather rather than wear. Freeze-thaw, standing water, direct sun and foot traffic all act on the same material, and a product rated for a floor indoors is not necessarily rated for a patio. The base beneath the surface is as much of the decision as the surface itself.

Only if it is rated for it. Exterior pavers are specified for freeze-thaw resistance, slip resistance when wet and colour stability under UV. An interior tile that matches visually will not necessarily hold up through a winter.

Dry-set over a compacted base is the usual approach for patios and walkways, and it allows individual pavers to be lifted later. Mortar-set over a concrete slab suits raised terraces and pool surrounds where movement has to be eliminated.

Enough to move water away from the building rather than toward it. The fall is set when the base is graded, before the first paver is laid, and it is far harder to correct afterwards.

It finishes the edge of a pool, wall or step, and it is cut to the paver line rather than the other way round. Getting the coping ordered with the field paver keeps the colour and the thickness consistent.

Yes. Turf is laid over a compacted aggregate base with drainage, then seamed and infilled. Laid straight onto soil it holds water and settles unevenly.
