TerraForge™ technology
Inside a TerraForge™ paver
A ceramic shield on the face, color through the body and a dense 20mm porcelain core, tested beyond the required minimums.
Exploded view, not to scale
- 1SUPERION™ Ceramic Shield
A ceramic shield coating on the face makes the surface stronger and helps it last longer. Textured for an R11 slip rating.
- 2ColorInfuse™ body
Color runs through the full body, so a chipped edge or a cut shows the same color, never a white base.
- 3High-density porcelain
2.30 g/cm³ bulk density and 0.17% water absorption, with a Mohs 7 surface.
- 420 mm thick
Carries foot traffic dry-laid on grass, sand, gravel or pedestals. Bonded to a slab, it takes vehicles.
Surface protection
SUPERION™ Ceramic Shield
A ceramic shield coating on the face of every paver makes the surface stronger and helps it last longer outdoors.
- Surface hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale
- 0.17% water absorption, so very little water soaks in
- Class AA resistance to household cleaners, pool salts, acids and alkalis
- Easy upkeep: rinse with water and scrub with a stiff brush
Through-body color
ColorInfuse™ Technology
Color is infused through the body of the paver, not just printed on top. It is what makes these the best solution for pavers: if an edge ever chips, you see the same color underneath, not a white base.
- Color runs through the full 20mm body
- Chips and cut edges blend in
- Clean cut edges for steps and borders

Installation
Five ways to lay them
20mm porcelain does not need a mortar bed to carry foot traffic. Pick the method that suits the ground.
Sizes and packing
Three formats, one thickness
Most colors come in all three sizes. Mix them for a random patio pattern, or run one size for a clean grid.

Questions
Porcelain pavers, answered
Why 20mm instead of regular tile?
At 20mm these pavers carry foot traffic dry-laid on grass, sand, gravel or pedestals, with no mortar bed. Fully bonded in adhesive on a concrete slab, they take moving and parked vehicles.
Do they need sealing?
Not normally. Water absorption averages 0.17%, so very little soaks in. Rinse with water and scrub with a stiff brush; a neutral cleaner handles anything tougher.
Are they slippery around a pool?
The surface is textured, with an R11 slip rating and a measured coefficient of friction of 0.75 to 0.83. Pool surrounds are one of the main uses for the line.
How do they handle freezing winters?
They are frost resistant, and with 0.17% water absorption there is very little water in the body to freeze. They also passed thermal shock testing with no defects.
Can they go on a raised deck or terrace?
Yes. Set them on adjustable pedestals. The paver spans the pedestals, and the space underneath stays open for drainage, wiring and plumbing.
How do you cut them?
With a wet saw and a diamond blade made for porcelain. Wet cutting keeps dust down. Do not dry-cut porcelain without dust control and protection.
How do we order and get samples?
Ask your NextGen rep, or use Request Pricing on any color. Samples are cut sample pieces so your client can see the color and texture in person.
Do you have porcelain for interior walls and floors?
Yes. The Ethos Porcelain Collective covers interiors: 24 × 48 inch, 9 mm porcelain panels in marble, onyx, limestone, stone and concrete looks.
