Maintaining Kronos Pavers for Long Lasting Beauty

Simple care routine:

• Rinse regularly with clean water
• Use mild detergent for deeper cleaning
• Power wash seasonally for a fresh appearance
• Replace individual pavers easily if needed

Porcelain’s dense, non-porous construction means it resists staining, fading, and surface damage far better than concrete or stone. No sealing or specialty cleaners are necessary.

Pairing Kronos Pavers with Outdoor Design Elements for a Cohesive Finish

Kronos pavers set the foundation for a beautiful outdoor living space, and pairing them with the right materials creates a look that feels intentional and elevated.

• Choose the right countertops for outdoor kitchens: Granite, quartzite, and outdoor rated porcelain slabs provide durability, weather resistance, and effortless coordination with Kronos stone, wood, or concrete inspired styles.
• Coordinate wall tile or cladding: Porcelain wall tile, stone veneer, or matching cladding adds cohesion to fire features, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchen surrounds.
• Mix colors, finishes, or formats: Combine different paver sizes or complementary shades to define zones, create borders, or design custom patterns for a high end look.
