H1 Heading: Sierra White 16 x 24 Sandblasted Outdoor Pavers (3cm)
Product Overview
The Sierra White 16" x 24" is the large-format flagship of our natural stone collection. Specifically engineered for high-end outdoor environments, these 3cm thick pavers combine architectural beauty with the rugged durability required for luxury pool decks, expansive patios, and modern walkways.
Engineered for Barefoot Comfort
One of the most significant advantages of Sierra White is its Heat Resistance. The bright white mineral composition reflects sunlight rather than absorbing it, staying significantly cooler underfoot than concrete or darker stone. This makes it the premier choice for pool surrounds where barefoot comfort is a priority.
Safety Meets Sophistication
To ensure safety in wet environments, each paver undergoes a mechanical Sandblasted process. This creates a consistent, "pitted" matte texture that provides elite traction and slip resistance without sacrificing the stone’s sophisticated aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How hot do Sierra White pavers get in the sun?
Sierra White is one of the coolest outdoor surfaces available. Because of its light color and natural thermal properties, it stays significantly cooler than travertine, slate, or concrete, even in peak summer temperatures. It is the ideal "cool-touch" stone for pool decks.
Can these pavers be installed directly on dirt or sand?
For the best results, we recommend a 4"–6" compacted gravel base topped with 1" of bedding sand. This prevents settling and ensures proper drainage. These 3cm pavers are strong enough for both sand-set and mortar-set installations.
What is the best way to maintain the "Stark White" color?
To protect the pristine color, we recommend using a high-quality, breathable stone sealer designed for outdoor use. If you are mortaring the pavers to a concrete slab, ensure your installer uses White Portland Cement to prevent dark shadows from bleeding through the stone.
Is sandblasted stone hard to clean?
No. While the surface is textured for grip, it can be easily maintained with a garden hose or a low-pressure power wash. For deeper cleaning, a pH-neutral outdoor stone cleaner is recommended to remove organic debris or leaves.
What kind of sand should I use for the joints?
We recommend using a polymeric sand specifically formulated for natural stone. This stabilizes the pavers, prevents weed growth, and inhibits insects while still allowing for natural expansion and contraction.
Do I need to seal Sierra White pavers?
Yes, sealing is highly recommended for all exterior natural stone. A penetrating sealer will protect against food spills, tannins from leaves, and chlorine/saltwater exposure while maintaining the stone's natural slip resistance.
