Porcelain Tiles — highly durable, heat resistant, slip resistant, and low maintenance. Available in large format sizes up to 120cm x 60cm in grey, beige, white, and natural stone finishes.
Natural Stone — travertine, limestone, and sandstone for a premium natural appearance. Each piece unique. Slightly higher maintenance than porcelain but exceptionally beautiful.
Aluminium — rust proof and lightweight for pergola frames and structures. Ideal for Dubai’s humid coastal climate. Low maintenance and long lasting.
Treated Timber — pressure treated hardwood for pergolas and outdoor structures where a natural wood appearance is preferred.
Concrete and Render — high quality concrete for boundary walls, retaining walls, steps, and structural elements. Available in a wide range of textures and finishes.
