Porcelain is a non-porous option and a wonderful addition for exterior flooring. Water will not be absorbed as with other material properties, thus creating issues around mold, mildew and fungus. Designer Deck’s Porsets 3 system is the thickest, most durable of porcelain tile slab lines, specifically designed to comply with industrial applications. Like its predecessor Porsets 2 it is firmly supported and positioned on top of huskier pedestals
along with additional parts such as
Safety Grid
which help to further increase the system’s strength. These supports are available in various configurations suited to accommodate issues commonly found on foundations that require attention to leveling, slope correction and minimal to extreme height build-up. Porsets 3 is a free-floating solution that provides maximum breathability and water flow as well as versatility and ample space to run larger electrical wiring, piping, irrigation tubes etc. It does not require any grout or mortar/thin set, nor does it fasten in any way to the surface upon which it’s installed. Its substantial mass makes the system an ideal fit for areas that are subjected to extreme dynamic and static weight loads and/or heavy foot traffic; such as commercial and public spaces, driveways, walkways, terraces, rooftops and more.
Creates a natural void between your decking, patio, balcony, rooftop or terrace surface, allowing any rainwater to run freely to drains, preventing unwanted moisture, mildew and ponding that could cause long-term problems
Allows plenty of access for small-large electrical wires, pipes, irrigation etc. Concealing obstructions for a clean overall finish
