Product Overview
MSI Arterra Legions Midnight Montage 24" x 48" Porcelain Paver brings modern large-format architectural scale, deep moody graphite tones, and commercial-grade exterior durability to outdoor living spaces. Part of MSI's premium Arterra Porcelain Paver collection, this 2 cm (approx. 3/4") extra-thick paver offers the rich, dimensional appearance of dark natural slate and dark quartzite without the sealing, chipping, or maintenance demands of raw stone.
The Midnight Montage colorway showcases a dramatic, high-contrast palette of charcoal, midnight black, deep graphite, and soft slate-gray veining. Engineered with an impressive DCOF $\ge 0.42$ anti-slip textured finish, rectified precision edges, and a freeze-thaw resistant body, it provides superior safety and stability for pool decks, patios, walkways, and high-traffic outdoor entertainment venues.

Installation and Handling Guidelines
⚠️ IMPORTANT: 2 CM PORCELAIN PAVER INSTALLATION METHODS
-
Dry Laying on Sand / Pea Gravel: Can be set directly on a compacted crushed stone and sand base for easy DIY installation of garden paths, stepping stones, and residential patios.
-
Dry Laying on Grass / Turf: Lay directly into turf or lawn areas to create high-end stepping stone paths with minimal ground preparation.
-
Pedestal System Installation: Suitable for open-joint elevated deck systems, allowing utilities, irrigation, and drainage channels to run beneath the pavers.
-
Mortar Set over Concrete Slab: Bond to an existing or new reinforced concrete slab using a high-performance, polymer-modified Large & Heavy Tile (LFT) mortar (ANSI A118.4 / ANSI A118.15) for high-traffic or vehicular applications.
Care and Maintenance
-
Easy Surface Cleaning: Clean periodically using a garden hose, pressure washer, or mild detergent with a broom.
-
Stain & Acid Resistance: Completely non-porous body naturally repels oil, red wine, grill grease, leaf stains, and harsh outdoor chemicals without staining.
-
Zero Sealing Required: Unlike natural slate or dark flagstone, Arterra porcelain pavers require no sealing, ongoing surface treatments, or specialized stone soaps.
