The Advantages of Porcelain Pavers for Pool Decks

Category: Paver Installation

Porcelain pavers for pool decks have been steadily gaining popularity over traditional options like concrete or standard paver. Their aesthetics, combined with the key advantages in terms of practicality and durability, make them a wonderful choice for any outdoor pool deck. This article will delve into the numerous benefits that these pavers bring to your space.

Unmatched Aesthetic Appeal

One of the first things appreciated about porcelain pavers is their incomparable appeal. They are available in many colors and designs. From replicating natural stone to looking like authentic wood, these pavers can enhance any setting to create a luxurious and charming atmosphere.

High Durability and Strength

Porcelain pavers are exceptionally durable and strong. Their hardness enables them to resist heavy foot traffic, staining, and UV fading. Hence, your pool deck will maintain its pristine appearance for many years without needing much maintenance.

Low Water Absorption

Due to their low porosity, porcelain pavers have minimal water absorption rates. This means they’re less likely to get damaged by moisture, making them suitable for all weather conditions.

Easy Maintenance

Porcelain pavers are remarkably easy to clean. They resist staining, erosion, and discoloration; therefore, just a simple mop or hose down is enough to keep your deck looking amazing.

Safety Matters

Aside from their aesthetic and practical benefits, porcelain pavers also score high on safety. Their textured surfaces are slip-resistant, which is extremely vital around pool areas where the surface is bound to get wet and slippery.

Frequently Asked Questions about Porcelain Pavers

Are porcelain pavers expensive?

While the upfront cost may be higher compared to other material options, the long-term value is significant considering their durability, minimal maintenance needs, and timeless aesthetic appeal.

Can these pavers be used on vehicular surfaces?

Yes, porcelain pavers are available in 3cm thickness, rated for vehicular applications such as driveways and parking lots.

Are they environmentally friendly?

Most porcelain pavers are made from natural clay, feldspar, and sand, making them a sustainable and environmentally-friendly choice.

In Conclusion

Porcelain pavers present a host of benefits that make them an ideal choice for pool decks. Their visual appeal, strength, durability, safety features, and easy maintenance, coupled with their versatility and environmentally-friendly nature, overwhelmingly demonstrate their superiority over traditional decking materials. Consider this option for a stylish, safe, and sustainable pool deck.

I am sure many of you in Southwest Florida have had a contractor who did not live up to what they promised. Pure Hardscapes is NOT one of those contractors. They solved a huge problem for us! When our pool and deck was completed, it wasn't long before the polymeric sand started to disintegrate. We had pavers sinking and upheaving. The pool contractor was notified on numerous occasions, but he refused to take our calls to correct this matter. We finally reached out to Pure Hardscapes. They came out to assess the situation. They were aware of a product that is supposed to be the best solution for porcelain pavers in an outside environment. They did some additional research, and with the information they provided to us, along with our own research, we hired them to redo our failed pool deck and lanai pavers. We had the rainiest summer on record last year (2024), and everything is still doing great! If you are looking for professional contractors for any paver/hardscape project, look no farther! Give them a call today!Very Satisfied Customers for Life!

Did a great job on time with exceptions due to extended delivery of brick from manufacturer. When delivered to our site it was only a matter of a few days to commencing installation. No BS- only hard and professional work on site. Chance was attentive to our questions and made personal sit-down visits to our home when bidding. Mike & Carol A. Naples

Pure Hardscapes is a 5-star company. Working with Chance and the team was a pleasure, and I highly recommend them for your future paving project.When I wanted to start my driveway project I had a few challenges. I didn’t know what the project was going to cost me, who to source and partner with and the timeline needed from start to finish.I began to reach out to contractors within the area, I must have met with about 10 to 12 different venders in order to locate a licensed and insured contractor, one that could meet or come close to my budget and a contractor that has done something similar to what I was wanting to do with my driveway.Sourcing a contractor is time consuming and emotionally draining. Of the 10 or so that I met with, only 3 claimed to be able to do or have done what I was looking to do with my driveway. Out of those three contractors only 2 of them had proof that they’ve done a project like mine in the past. I moved forward with Chance because he was highly responsive and easy to communicate with. Trust me, the last thing you want to do is to move forward with a contractor that’s doesn’t pick up their phone or come to your home when needed. Chance is responsive, transparent and he makes the process easy.When moving forward with Pure Hardscapes, you’re moving forward with a true partner. As you can see my driveway is not typical. When you search for this style online, it’s always done with concrete. In order to stay within my budget, Change educated me that concrete would be expensive and would move me away from my budget. He suggested pavers, which I’ve never seen before with this style. I have to say, I LOVE IT WAY MORE! Concrete is gray and it can crack over time. The color and style of the pavers we used; brought the artistic style I was looking for. My wife and I love our driveway, and Pure Hardscapes delivered a dream come true.Chance does business the right way. He’s a great listener, has a keen eye for color concept & style and he looks to partner with you throughout your project journey. You’re in great hands with Pure Hardscapes.

Our project involved a complete removal, expansion and replacement of pool and lenai pavers as well as a new screen cage. Coordination of the screen and paver contractors requires a lot of forethought to schedules, weather and product availability. Mid-project, we were faced with Hurricane Ian and county permitting delays. Despite these outside glitches, Pure Hardscapes got the job done. The owner, Chance, was in constant contact with us for scheduling and product availability from Italy. The project manager, David, would listen to our comments and implement changes where needed. David's work ethic is admirable. The office manager, Nicole, coordinated the efforts of the field crew with the cage company and was always very responsive. After completion of the paver installation, the cage installers cracked one of the porcelain pavers. Nicole was able to have David return to the job site within 2 hours and replace the cracked paver, resulting in no time loss for the cage installers. Before, during and after the project, the crew at Pure Hardscapes took a personal interest in our needs and wants. I would not hesitate to recommend Pure Hardscapes to others.George Christofely

I wish Chance would run other businesses as well because I would hire him in a heartbeat. Communication was excellent and the price was the best from all 3 companies quoted. We had a couple last minute additions and he had no problem accommodating our request. He runs his company very professionally with modern tools like online contract signing and payment which makes it very convenient. But he also has an old school touch. We've received a couple hand written cards and follow up calls from him which really shows the kind of business he runs. See the photos, the work speaks for itself.

I moved to Naples in April 2021and purchased a home that I wanted to make some changes to. I called many contractors and companies to try to get estimates with, and no one ever returned my calls. The only one who personally reached out to me was Chane , the owner of Hardscapes! I kept getting excuses such as covid and everyone is very busy. I find it disrespectful when you reach out to someone and finally get an appointment for them to come to your home to give you an estimate to only be stood up! This unfortunately happened on more than one occasion.When you deal with Chance and his company they are punctual, respectful, and they always return calls and emails. I wish everyone I had to deal with to get something done was as professional and kind as Chance is. I will continue to refer him to my friends and anyone I hear that is looking to get any kind of hard scape done to their home. Dealing with him and his company is a pleasure!Amanda McDonald Naples Fl
