Porcelain Rooftop Pavers
Stain resistant, scratch resistant, frost resistant, fireproof.With a unique combination of high durability, scratch resistance, slip resistance, fire resistance, fade resistance and exceptionally low maintenance, single slab 3/4″ thick porcelain stoneware pavers offer an outstanding paving solution for both commercial and residential applications.
Unlike traditional cement based paving slabs or natural stone tiles, these versatile, load bearing pavers are extremely dense and non-porous, so they won’t stain, absorb water or suffer freeze/thaw cracking.
Our porcelain pavers are specifically engineered to meet the high load bearing and hard wearing demands of large commercial rooftop decks and elevated deck and plaza projects, subject to heavy pedestrian traffic. But they are equally suitable as patio pavers for residential applications including resurfacing existing concrete patios, terraces, balconies and roof decks.
Archatrak porcelain pavers offer outstanding versatility in landscaping projects and especially for roof deck paver applications where traditional wood decks or structural wood tiles may not be possible due to fire regulations. There’s no adhesives or grout necessary to lay them and they can be installed over a variety of substrates:
- with adjustable height pedestals for building raised roof decks
- on compacted sand or gravel
- on hard, level surfaces including concrete
- set in a traditional mortar bed for vehicular applications

Why are porcelain pavers a better paving option?
With a unique combination of excellent scratch resistance, frost resistance, slip resistance, fire resistance, fade resistance and very low maintenance, porcelain pavers offer an outstanding alternative to more traditional paving products including concrete pavers, stone pavers and wood decking. From residential balconies, patios and terraces to elevated rooftop decks and terraces, commercial plazas and municipal landscaping projects, porcelain pavers offer more options, more colors, more style.

The full range of colors we currently offer can be seen here. The majority of colors are usually available ex stock, although availability can change at any time. If not in stock, the lead time is typically 5-6 weeks if the pavers are imported from Italy. If you don’t see a color you are specifically seeking, then let us know, as our relationships with major Italian producers means we can source an exceptionally wide range of pavers.
Very often we can also supply matching interior tiles if you are looking for a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors, although minimum order quantities will normally apply for special orders. Special shapes such as bullnoses, stair profiles and pool edge accessories can also be supplied on special order. Call for further details.
