Popular Outdoor Paver Options
Stone-look porcelain pavers
Stone-look outdoor pavers are a popular choice for alfresco areas, garden spaces and pool surrounds because they offer timeless charm without the ongoing maintenance of natural stone. Their lightly textured finish and soft beige tones help create a classic look, while large format paver sizes reduce join lines and contribute to a more seamless finish in a larger space. These stone-look styles suit both classic and modern outdoor areas and pair easily with matching indoor tiles when you want indoor and outdoor flooring to connect.

Concrete-look pavers bring a luxurious and contemporary look to outdoor flooring, especially in entertaining areas or straight-lined architectural spaces. These premium large format pavers create a smooth modern look with fewer join lines, giving the area a more open feel. Their durable surface and scratch resistant finish make them suitable for alfresco areas, walkways and any outdoor space needing a sleek, low maintenance material.
Timber-look porcelain pavers
Timber-look pavers allow you to achieve the warmth of timber with the easy maintenance of porcelain. They’re ideal for small patio areas, alfresco spaces and pool surrounds where you want the appearance of decking without ongoing upkeep. A timber-look large format paver can help create a classic and stylish look, and when paired with matching indoor tiles, can support a seamless finish throughout your home.
Key Considerations for Outdoor Pavers
Slip resistance for wet/outdoor areas
Slip resistant pavers help maintain safety in wet or damp outdoor areas. This matters most around pool areas, garden paths, outdoor kitchens and any surface that can become wet from rain or a hose. A tile with a lightly textured finish or purpose-designed grip surface helps ensure traction underfoot.
Thickness (20mm vs alternatives)
A 20mm porcelain paver is designed for outdoor use and offers the strength needed for alfresco areas, entertaining zones and spaces with regular foot traffic or outdoor furniture. This thickness helps the paver withstand shifting ground and provides stability whether you’re working on a DIY project or a full backyard renovation.
Heat absorption (important for pool areas)
Colour plays a major role in how hot a paver becomes. A lighter coloured paver or a stone-look style tends to stay cooler in direct sunlight, making it more comfortable for pool surrounds and sun-exposed alfresco areas. Darker tones can create a smooth modern look but may absorb more heat during summer.
Durability under furniture and foot traffic
Outdoor pavers need to cope with regular movement and the weight of outdoor settings. Porcelain provides exceptional durability and resistance to marks, helping the surface maintain its appearance over time. This makes it suitable for large or small pavers used in entertaining areas as well as paths and transitional spaces.
Drainage and substrate requirements
Good drainage helps prevent water from sitting beneath your outdoor flooring. Porcelain pavers can be installed on sand, gravel, pedestals or a concrete slab depending on the project, but the base must support the paver evenly. Proper drainage ensures long-term stability and reduces maintenance.
Choosing the Right Look for Your Space
Natural stone-look
Stone-look porcelain pavers bring timeless charm without the upkeep of natural stone. Their more textured appearance and soft variations work well in alfresco pavers, garden areas and pool surrounds. A stone-look finish can create a classic look or a classic and modern look depending on the colour and edge style.
Contemporary concrete-look
Concrete-look pavers give outdoor areas a smooth modern finish with fewer join lines when used in large format. These options suit straight, architectural lines, open alfresco spaces and homes aiming for a luxurious and contemporary look. The right colour can also help you achieve a seamless finish with indoor tiles.
Timber-look for outdoor decks
Timber-look pavers let you create the feel of a deck with the low maintenance benefits of porcelain. They’re suitable for small patio areas and larger entertaining zones where you want a classic and modern look without worrying about weathering, warping or regular sealing.
