Perfect joints thanks to the self-locking paving with integrated Smart Spacer System®. You can reduce laying times for outdoor flooring.

In the outdoor  construction  pavings  laying times can be  an  important issue, above all if projects involve timely and coordinated interventions.

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, 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 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.
