If for natural stones the main issue arises from the convergence of one element with another, as well as from [their poor availability and sustainability](https://blog.grestone.it/en/news/the-alternatives-to-natural-stone-for-urban-pavings?hsLang=en), in the case of the porcelain stoneware, instead, **the self-locking paving represents the challenging solution for perfect joints.** ## Interlocking outdoor tiles:  joints  vs laying times Usually, to ensure a proper and esthetically pleasing to the eye laying, **chemical compounds are evenly distributed on the surface**. That is what causes the **waste of time and an unfavorable workflow**. How do we sort out such criticality? Thanks to the **spacer system** **integrated into the body of the porcelain stoneware tile**, it is now possible to **realise joints quickly,** avoiding waste of materials and waiting for the glue to dry. ## Smart Spacer System: interlocking laying system for porcelain stoneware outdoor paving The pioneering **[Smart Spacer System](https://www.grestone.it/en/surfaces/smart-spacer-system/) includes spacers integrated into the body of the** tile to achieve the minimum joint without the use of adhesives (concrete, cement, etc..). It is an **interlocking system** for outdoor paving that helps to **drastically decrease the laying times.** ![pavimentazioni autobloccanti da esterno Smart Spacer System](https://blog.grestone.it/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Distanziatori-Smart-Spacer-System-300x188.jpg?width=500&height=313&name=Distanziatori-Smart-Spacer-System-300x188.jpg) **How does it work?** You only need to **prepare a gravel or fine sand bedding** and then **lay ** Grestone® Urban Pavings **eco-ceramic tiles together** to obtain the desired outdoor paving.
