Hardy exteriors

While exterior spaces are usually enjoyed in full sunshine, materials used in the creation of these areas must be able to withstand all kinds of weather. Exterior pavers must also be strong enough to handle other kinds of impact such as pedestrians or even cars.

Urban Life is a collection of textured porcelain slabs imported from Italy by Rocks On Hard Surface Solutions. Created by forging and extruding hardening ceramic matter with slow cooking temperatures of up to 1250°C, this resistant material can be used for tiling and for paving. Offering low water absorption, frost resistance, UV ray resistance, chemical resistance and a high surface hardness, the Urban Life collection is well-suited for use in most commercial and residential projects.

Urban Life has the appearance of traditional stone and is available in a variety of shades of grey and green. The tiles can have a raw, bush-hammered or ribbed finish for outdoor use, or a honed, ribbed finish that can be used both indoors and outside.

Rocks On Hard Surface Solutions works with archi-tects and interior designers to offer guidance on the most appropriate hard surface solution for specific projects. Recommendations in terms of contractors, cleaning and maintenance are also part of the company's service.
