Mastering the Outdoors: How to create beautiful, durable and continuous outdoor spaces.

In this course, you will discover the different surfaces that can be used to master the outdoors. Explore the building science and technology behind the surfaces discussed and how they can be used in various project designs. From traditional pavers, such as bricks, porcelain, concrete and natural stone, to traditional pool material such as concrete and how they all compare to the innovative ultra-compact surface. Explore how the ultra-compact surface is created and how its unique properties compare to that of traditional materials.
