Quartz Porcelain Pavers, like all of Armstone’s Porcelain Pavers, are made from a high quality structural clay with exquisite surfaces that strongly resemble natural quartz. Each paver has a unique texture, veining and colouring showcasing properties found in natural quartz stone.
Dense, durable, majestic and modern, quartz porcelain pavers are the ideal alternative to natural quartz. While natural stone has its own appeal and can stand the test of time – as evidenced by so many European structures that are still thriving after thousands of years since being built – it usually requires a higher initial investment. Additionally, natural stone requires more time and care when it comes to maintenance and might not be feasible for you if you have a busy schedule, young and growing family or enjoy entertaining regularly. This is where porcelain pavers save the day! You get all the beauty of natural stone, with easier maintenance at a fraction of the cost.
Unlike natural stone pavers, outdoor quartz porcelain pavers do not require regular sealing and are easy to clean. Their surface features a high slip resistance, which makes them a perfect choice for installation around pools and pathways, where there is high exposure to moisture and the elements. Additionally, quartz porcelain can hold heavy weights, so if you’re looking for pavers for high-traffic areas like footpaths or driveways, they are worth considering.
Our range of Quartz Porcelain Pavers includes two designs; the Sofala and – exclusive to Armstone – the Gorge design from Italy. While these particular pavers have cooler tones that are more ideal for homes with modern designs, the warm coppers in the Sofala range can be used in traditional outdoor areas too. Whether you install them in your patio, around your garden, or pool surrounds, you’ll add a majestic touch to your front yard or garden.
Quartz Porcelain Pavers are the perfect choice for pool surrounds because they’re also resistant to salt and chlorinated water. Since pool areas are heavily exposed to water, salt and/or chlorine, it’s important to choose pavers that will not deteriorate over time. If you’re looking for uniformity in your pool design, our range of quartz porcelain pavers also includes pool coping in either a contemporary bullnose or drop-edge cut.
With a range of cool colours and tones, Armstone Quartz Porcelain Pavers are best suited for outdoors with modern aesthetics. The Sofala pavers each have a unique veining, texture and colouring featuring silvery grey-blue with copper splashes throughout. This paver is the only ‘warmer’ one in our collection with a lighter colouring. Even so, it oozes with elegance and style.
If you are looking for a darker quartz porcelain, the Gorge design is simply gorgeous. With deep rustic reds, coppers and gold veining throughout, this Italian Porcelain Paver adds a majestic touch to any outdoor area.
As with the rest of our porcelain paver range, our quartz collection is also resistant to frost and heat. This is because clay absorbs 35% less heat than concrete or granite pavers. As such, they remain cool underfoot, making them a safer choice for outdoor areas like pool surrounds and patios, especially during Sydney’s hot summers. Additionally, quartz porcelain pavers are resistant to mould, moss, chemicals, and can withstand heavy loads such as foot-traffic and vehicles.
Unlike natural quartz pavers which can be split-faced and have variation in size and thickness, porcelain quartz pavers are uniform in size and thickness. So whether you’re installing them on base-sand, sand-cement creeds, or concrete slabs, this uniformity will make the entire process easier.
In a nutshell, if you love the quartz-like look and are working on a budget, or have specific lifestyle needs that aren’t synonymous with the upkeep required for natural stone pavers, Quartz Porcelain Pavers are an excellent alternative.
