The single ¾” thick slab of load-bearing porcelain produces a

paver of exceptional strength, density and hardness, specifically

designed for building elevated decks using fixed or variable

height pedestals as well as for laying on-grade, dry installed or

with thinset and grout.

Together with their practically zero water absorption, the technical

and aesthetic properties of porcelain pavers make them ideal for

practically any outdoor decking or paving application, commer-

cial or residential, especially where low maintenance is of prime

importance.

The perfect balance of technical functionality, precise dimensions

and visual appeal unique to porcelain pavers, cannot be

matched by other paving materials such as concrete or stone.

Due to their thickness, strength and durability in all climatic

conditions, Archatrak porcelain slab pavers can be laid

over virtually any type of exterior surface – grass, sand,

gravel, concrete or installed on pedestal systems for raised

decking.

Archatrak porcelain pavers are specifically designed for

constructing elevated decks using fixed or adjustable height

pedestals. Pedestal support options depend on the configuration

of the installation, the intended use, the anticipated loading,

the slope or variability of the substrate and the final deck height

required.

Typical specifications for Archatrak porcelain pavers

are given below. Specifications may vary depending on the

color/style of paver.

Please contact Archatrak for technical data on specific colors or styles.

When porcelain pavers are installed on a pedestal system, they essentially rely on gravity, their own weight, tight

spacing between the pavers and tight containment around the perimeter to keep the pavers in place without

movement. The open joint space between pavers allows wind to flow above, below and around the deck

surface, which tends to reduce uplift forces somewhat and restricts movement of the pavers.

It should not however be inferred that uplifting of the pavers by wind will never occur as it is difficult, if not

impossible, to test for every contingency or circumstance where wind uplift may be possible.

Variables incorporated in the test program using FIU’s Wall of Wind facility included different wind angles,

pedestal height and type, parapet wall height, paver layout and the use of locking devices along the parapet

walls. A summary of the test results is available on request but this test data should not be construed as offering

or implying a guarantee or warranty of any kind, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability or

fitness of porcelain pavers for a specific purpose.

The shock resistance of porcelain pavers should always be considered with pedestal installations to avoid the risk

of damage or injury. Project managers, specifiers and customers should carefully assess the technical specifica-

tions of the porcelain slabs in relation to their intended use. Despite the intrinsic density and stiffness of porcelain

pavers, slabs may crack or break if a heavy object is dropped from a significant height. Where hard and heavy

objects are likely to be used or where floor heights are greater than 4”, it is recommended to apply appropriate

reinforcement to the underside of the pavers, such as glued glass fiber mats or metal trays.

13Archatrak

There are currently no specific regulations or standards relating to the use of porcelain pavers for elevated

exterior flooring. The closest standard is that applying to concrete paving slabs (EN 1339). Under this test

procedure, Archatrak porcelain pavers comply with the standard on comparative tests.

The only wind uplift test for roofing products known to Archatrak is the Florida Building Code 2007 TAS 108

Test Procedure for testing air permeable rigid discontinuous roof systems. Whilst this test procedure may have

some relevance to pavers installed in ‘floating’ deck applications, Archatrak engaged the Florida International

University International Hurricane Research Center to devise a test program to evaluate the resistance of

porcelain pavers to wind uplift under typical installation parameters.
