Porcelain Pavers by Hero’s Pavers in Palm Beach County

What the job includes

Base and bedding prepared to the same standard as any paver installation
Laying with tight, consistent joints, which is where porcelain either looks excellent or looks wrong
Wet cutting, because porcelain chips if it is cut dry with the wrong blade
Edge and step detail
Joint filling, compaction and cleanup

Where porcelain earns its cost, and where it does not

Porcelain is dense and effectively non-porous, so it resists staining in a way natural stone does not. Sunscreen, spilled wine and iron-heavy irrigation water all wipe off rather than soak in.

It holds its colour under Florida sun better than almost anything else we lay. That matters on a west-facing deck taking six hours of direct light a day.

It is unforgiving of a sloppy base. The pieces are dimensionally precise, so any settlement shows up immediately as a lipped joint you can catch a toe on. The base has to be right.

It costs more than concrete pavers and it needs a wet saw and a slower install, so it suits pool decks, patios and entries far better than a large driveway.

Questions we get asked

Is porcelain slippery when wet?

Outdoor porcelain is made with a textured face rated for wet areas. It is not the same product as an indoor bathroom tile.

Can porcelain go on a driveway?

It can, with the right thickness and base, but the cost usually pushes people to concrete pavers on the driveway and porcelain where it is seen up close.

Does it need sealing?

Generally no, which is one of the main reasons people choose it. The joints may still need attention over time.

Will it fade?

Far less than concrete. Colour stability under UV is one of the things porcelain is genuinely good at.
