## Let's find out together which material makes for sustainable and aesthetically pleasing public area paving.

The material used to realise [paving for public area](https://blog.grestone.it/en/news/https/blog.grestone.it/en/news/public-squares-pavings-natural-stones-or-sustainable-material?hsLang=en) must have very precise features.

 It must be:  
√ **Resistant to loads**   
√ **Resistant to continuous stress**  
√ **Slip-proof**  
√ Drainable   
√ Frost-proof  
√ **Resistant to stains and chemicals**

There is more. It is worth using an **environmentally friendly material**, because [urban construction](https://blog.grestone.it/en/news/sustainable-road-pavings-5-advantages?hsLang=en) regulations are becoming increasingly strict in this respect.  
This means:

- avoiding the use of natural stone (i.e. quarrying)
- using waste materials from other production processes (according to the principles of **the circular economy**)
- reducing maintenance (expensive and cyclical )
- avoiding the use of chemical adhesives

### The advantages of porcelain stoneware for paving public areas

Among all the materials on the market, [high thickness porcelain stoneware](https://blog.grestone.it/en/news/high-thickness-porcelain-stoneware-for-outdoor?hsLang=en) meets all these requirements.  
It is a [material with a low environmental impact](https://www.grestone.it/en/green/) whose main features are:

1. low impact on existing natural surroundings  
2. extraordinary durability  
3. high resistance to damages?   
4. excellent drainage

What if the architect-designer's requirements were also aesthetic, as well as sustainable?

#### High aesthetic quality paving for public areas
