Frost-resistant porcelain pavers and thick natural stone pavers are the usual choices. Look for a high slip rating and materials rated for your climate, especially where there is freeze and thaw.
Do outdoor pavers need sealing?+
Porcelain pavers never need sealing. Natural stone pavers should be sealed with a product rated for exterior use to guard against stains and weather.
Outdoor Tiles and Pavers
Outdoor surfaces have to handle weather, water, and foot traffic, so they call for durable, slip-resistant materials. This collection gathers the tile and pavers suited to patios, walkways, and pool decks, led by frost-resistant porcelain pavers and thick natural stone.
What works outside
Porcelain pavers are dense and frost resistant and carry a high slip rating, so they hold up outdoors with no sealing. Natural stone pavers in marble and travertine bring warmth and a classic look, and their tumbled and textured surfaces grip when wet. Choose materials and sealers rated for your climate, especially where there is freeze and thaw.
