Outdoors - Quinn & Ben
Quinn & Ben have created a near seamless transition between indoors and out with the use of 2cm Stone Valley White porcelain pavers from The Tile Depot. A gorgeous cross-cut travertine inspired porcelain that has beautiful detailing and a realistic aesthetic. 2cm thick, these porcelain pavers are hugely versatile and can be installed in a variety of ways, from dry laid on gravel and sand, adhered to concrete slabs or installed on elevated deck jack systems.
Quinn & Ben have used the pavers on a deck jack system for their outdoor alfresco area, creating a defined entertaining area that flows from the indoor dining area at the same level as the interior flooring. The paved area is slightly elevated from the remainder of the lawn and garden area which is a simple way to separate the hardscape zone from the garden.
Deck jack pedestal systems allow for the creation of a floating tile deck that is height adjustable and self-leveling. It’s a fantastic option over waterproofing membranes, concrete or other stable surfaces and near-ground level patios. As the tiles are dry laid and not grouted, water can pass through the joins and the tiles can be easily lifted to access the space beneath. As they are height adjustable, they’re perfect for creating level entries with the interior floor level and also have the benefit of being easily removable to access conduits laid underneath.
The porcelain pavers have also been used to create an easy-care, all-weather stepping-stone pathway down the side of the house. A simple and effective way to deal with a tricky space to landscape.
Unlike timber decking, porcelain pavers are a low maintenance option for outdoor entertaining and do not require sealing, sanding or re-staining and are resistant to marking from spills and scratches. An easy care, practical option for busy lives and a great choice for Quinn & Ben’s outdoor space.
