Pool decks: Enhanced wet-condition traction and marble-inspired styling make it an attractive choice around swimming pools. It is intended for the surrounding deck—not submerged pool interiors. Outdoor kitchens: Provides an easy-to-maintain surface around cooking, dining, and entertainment areas. Courtyards and terraces: Suitable for residential and appropriate commercial outdoor spaces. Garden walkways: Can be installed over an appropriately prepared sand or aggregate base. Commercial hospitality spaces: Appropriate for approved restaurant patios, hotel terraces, rooftop environments, and outdoor gathering areas. Indoor-outdoor continuity: Coordinates with MSI’s thinner Brighton Gold indoor porcelain tile to create a visually continuous transition through large doors and openings. Installation Guidelines ⚠️ IMPORTANT: LARGE AND HEAVY PAVER Each 24" × 48" paver weighs approximately 72 pounds. Handling, lifting, base preparation, and placement should be performed by qualified installers using appropriate equipment. Approved installation methods: MSI identifies installation over grass, sand-set systems, or mortar over concrete for Arterra pavers. Mortar installation: Use an exterior-rated polymer-modified Large and Heavy Tile mortar approved for 2 cm porcelain. Achieve substantially complete mortar contact beneath the entire paver. Sand-set installation: Prepare a properly excavated, graded, and compacted aggregate base. The finished system must remain stable and allow proper drainage. Wall and substrate flatness: Large 24" × 48" units require a particularly flat and uniform base. High spots or voids can cause rocking, cracking, and uneven edges. Joint spacing: Do not butt the pavers tightly together. Provide appropriately sized joints based on the installation system, dimensional tolerance, and anticipated movement. Drainage: Slope finished surfaces away from structures and prevent water from collecting beneath the pavers. Movement joints: Include perimeter and field movement accommodation following TCNA EJ171 and applicable construction requirements. Lifting: Use two installers and professional large-format suction-cup equipment where appropriate. Do not carry a heavy paver by one corner. Vehicular applications: Driveways require an engineered, fully supported installation designed for anticipated vehicle loads. Standard pedestrian sand-set construction may not be sufficient. Wet cutting: Use a porcelain-rated wet saw and suitable diamond blade. MSI warns against dry power-tool cutting because it can release harmful crystalline-silica dust. Order allowance: Add approximately 10% for straight installations and 15% for diagonal layouts, complex cuts, breakage, or selective vein placement. MSI states that Arterra pavers can be installed over grass, sand-set, or mortared over concrete and are engineered to withstand freeze-thaw cycles. MSI Arterra collection Care and Maintenance Sweep or rinse regularly to remove sand, leaves, and surface debris. Clean with warm water and a neutral-pH porcelain cleaner. Remove grease, oil, food, and organic stains promptly. The porcelain surface does not require sealing. Avoid waxes, topical coatings, and film-forming sealers that could interfere with the ZeroSlip surface. If pressure washing, use moderate pressure and keep the nozzle away from joints. Inspect dry-set installations periodically for joint loss, settlement, rocking pavers, or drainage problems. Design Profile Aesthetic inspiration: Calacatta marble, Mediterranean luxury, modern coastal, and refined contemporary outdoor living. Color character: Creamy white with soft-gray movement and elegant gold veining. Format advantage: The 1:2 rectangular proportion creates a directional architectural rhythm with fewer joints than the 24" × 24" version. Layout options: Straight stacked, running bond with an appropriate offset, alternating direction, and large-format modular layouts. Complementary materials: Teak, white oak, warm limestone, cream stucco, pale concrete, and natural gravel. Complementary metals: Champagne bronze, brushed brass, matte black, and stainless steel. Suggested joint colors: Warm white, ivory, pale beige, or light gray. Frequently Asked Questions What is the correct SKU? The manufacturer SKU is LPAVNBRIGOL2448. How much does one paver cover?
