Light Gray
-
Color: A soft, neutral gray tone
-
Versatile and modern, blends well with many architectural styles

Courtyard Paver
-
A paver unit (stone or manufactured material) used to pave outdoor spaces
-
Designed for pedestrian surfaces like courtyards, patios, walkways, and terraces
-
Durable enough for regular outdoor foot traffic
-
Can also handle light vehicle traffic depending on material and thickness
Floated Finish
This describes the surface texture of the paver:
What “Floated” Means
-
A lightly textured surface created by troweling or floating the stone during processing
-
Not fully smooth — has subtle texture but not deeply rough
-
Provides good traction without heavy roughness
Benefits of a Floated Finish
✔ Better slip resistance than polished
✔ Balanced texture — comfortable underfoot
✔ Hides minor dirt and wear
✔ Aesthetically pleasing and modern
Typical Materials
Light Gray floated courtyard pavers might be made from:
-
Concrete pavers
-
Natural stone (granite, limestone, etc.)
-
Porcelain outdoor pavers
-
Engineered stone
For climates with freeze–thaw cycles (like Ontario/Canada), the best options are:
-
Granite
-
Porcelain (full body, outdoor rated)
These have low water absorption and high durability.
Typical Uses
-
Courtyards & plazas
-
Patios & terraces
-
Walkways & garden paths
-
Balconies & rooftop decks
-
Pool surrounds (choose textured finish)
