With the recent change of the social climate, many are finding they are more comfortable enjoying the outdoors from the sanctuary of their home. Barbeques, pool days, and family get-togethers have made a recent comeback, and everyone is loving it!

With all this new traffic taking place in the backyard, utilizing a durable product such as porcelain pavers can elevate the look of your space drastically. From wood-looks to marble-looks, read on to see the 2CM porcelain collections Tiles Direct has to offer to create your outdoor oasis.

FRONTIER20 MICHELANGELO - Landmark Ceramics

Featured Product: Frontier20 Michelangelo Extra White Grip Pavers.

For those looking to create an oasis of elegance, the Frontier 20 Michelangelo 2CM Paver collection by Landmark Ceramics features an authentic Carrara marble-look in a durable 2CM thick porcelain paver. With sharp gray veining throughout, each paver will be unique for a truly one-of-a-kind design.
