Porcelain Pavers

The paver you pick sets the tone for everything else on the project — the coping has to match it, the waterline tile has to complement it, and the indoor floor has to feel like it belongs to the same home. A curated range of large-format directions for patios, pool decks, terraces, courtyards, and outdoor kitchens, chosen with the rest of the palette in mind.

General educational information only. Exact product suitability, finish, technical values, installation method, support layout, loads, drainage, reinforcement, local codes, and current manufacturer requirements must be confirmed for the project.

20 mm porcelain paver performance data

Exterior performance standards behind every paver selection.

Use this general ANSI A137.3 reference as an early planning tool for Aura’s 20 mm paver catalog. Exact collection, finish, caliber, lot, installation system, and project documentation must be confirmed before final specification.

Exterior wet classification

The general 20 mm paver reference is reported EW — Exterior, Wet under ANSI A326.3.

R11 / A+B+C traction

Skid-resistance classifications are reported R11 and A+B+C under EN 16165 test methods.

Freeze / thaw resistant

The general paver reference is reported resistant under ASTM C1026.

2,000 lbf breaking strength

General 20 mm paver testing reports 2,000 lbf under ASTM C1050.

5,000 psi modulus of rupture

General 20 mm paver testing reports 5,000 psi under ASTM C1050.

How to use this data: this is a general manufacturer performance reference for 20 mm porcelain pavers, primarily reflecting average production and matte/exterior-finish testing. It is not a product-specific certificate or a universal approval for every collection, finish, caliber, lot, installation system, or site condition.

  • No surface is slip-proof. Water, contaminants, slope, footwear, joints, maintenance, and site conditions affect real-world traction.
  • Use pavers from the same caliber and production lot where possible, especially across connected visible areas.
  • Product-specific test reports and current technical documents may be requested when a project requires documented values.
  • Dry-laid, pedestal-supported, rooftop, balcony, terrace, and other above-ground systems require project-specific review of support layout, reinforcement, wind, loads, drainage, perimeter restraint, and applicable codes.
  • Any cracked or damaged paver in an elevated installation should be isolated and replaced promptly.

TilesAn interior floor that stops dead at the patio door is a missed opportunity, not a design choice. Porcelain tile for entries, kitchens, bathrooms, feature walls, and fireplace walls — planned to carry the same material language outside, so the transition from great room to patio feels intentional instead of abrupt.CopingsThe coping is the one surface every eye lands on at a pool — it has to frame the water cleanly and resolve at every corner without a color mismatch against the deck. 20 L-shaped profiles with mitered edge finishes for custom pools, spas, tanning ledges, and raised walls, planned to match the paver you already chose.Porcelain VeneersA feature wall, fireplace, or outdoor kitchen surround is the detail people remember about a project — flat or generic texture makes it forgettable. 24 architectural porcelain veneer directions for pool feature walls, raised walls, bathrooms, kitchens, and fireplaces, with the texture and depth to hold up as the focal point.Waterline TilesWaterline tile does more work than any other surface in a pool — it sets the water color, frames the design, and it is the first thing anyone notices standing at the edge. 42 porcelain waterline directions across 6x6, 6x20, and glossy 6x24 formats, chosen to support the water tone the architecture is built around, not fight it.SlabsA countertop or backsplash in the wrong tone breaks the palette in the room people spend the most time in. Large-format porcelain slabs for countertops, outdoor kitchens, fireplace surrounds, and full-container trade programs, coordinated against the same tile and paver directions used across the rest of the project.
