Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) measures heat retention under direct summer sun. DCOF measures wet slip resistance (ANSI A326.3 standard: min 0.55 for poolside wet areas).
Natural sedimentary limestone with natural capillary pores that remain cool even in 100°F heat. Salt-friendly.
Ultra-dense vitrified ceramic with <0.5% water absorption. Zero sealing needed, completely stain proof against pool chemicals.
8000 PSI high-compressive pavers. Flexible sand joints prevent cracking from ground movement. Requires periodic sealer.
