Porcelain 2CM
Thin enough for the door
About ¾ in thick, so it usually fits under the sliding-door track. Non-porous: pool chemicals, salt and spills rinse off, and it never needs sealing. Slip-rated finishes for wet areas.

Lanai Pavers in Venice, FL
Turn a painted lanai slab into a stone or porcelain floor that lasts — installed inside your screen, at the right height at the door.
Certified Installer coastal screened lanais and pool cages
A lanai floor built for Venice
Venice lanais live in salt air, sun and pool chemistry at once. Painted and textured coatings fade, chalk and peel, and many older lanai slabs have hairline cracks that a new coat of paint only hides for a while.
The detail that changes here: We remove the coating, treat cracks before setting, and use joints rated for salt and pool chemicals near the beaches.
We upgrade lanais throughout Venice:
- Venice Island
- Venice Gardens
- South Venice
- Nokomis
- Laurel
- North Venice

Materials
Lanai paver options for Venice homes
On a lanai, the height at the door decides as much as the look.
Travertine
Cool, natural stone
The coolest surface barefoot and a classic Florida lanai look. Thicker than porcelain, so we confirm door clearance first. Needs periodic sealing.

Lanai and pool deck as one floor
Run the same porcelain from the living room door to the pool coping for one continuous surface — inside the screen and out to the deck.
Learn moreWhat we check before quoting a Venice lanai
Door clearance under the sliding-door track decides how thick the new floor can be.
Older slabs in Venice Gardens and South Venice often have settlement cracks; we map them and decide whether to bridge them or cut a movement joint.
We work inside the screen enclosure and protect it — no cage removal for a paver job.

Questions
Lanai pavers in Venice, answered
Can you put pavers over my lanai in Venice?+
Yes, if the slab is sound, drains toward the screen and there is enough height at the door. We check all three on site and mortar-set the pavers directly on the slab.
Is porcelain or travertine better for a Venice lanai?+
Porcelain when door clearance is tight or you want zero sealing; travertine for the classic Venice look and the coolest surface, with periodic sealing.
Do I need to remove my pool cage to redo the lanai floor?+
No. We work inside the enclosure, cut cleanly around the posts and screen doors, and leave the cage in place.
How long does a lanai paver installation take?+
Most lanais take two to four working days, including coating removal and slab prep. We give you the schedule before we start.

Rated 5 out of 5Diogo and his team replaced our horrible travertine pavers with large porcelain pavers in a light cream. They are incredible! The entire team did such a great job and we’re very happy with the outcome! We highly recommend EC Paver Solutions!

Rated 5 out of 5I just have installed the "Da Vinci" Italian Porcelain tiles by EC Paver Solutions in my driveway, and I could not be happier with the results. Diego and his team did fantastic job. They finished the project on time we agreed on and they clean after the work was done. Great job done!

Rated 5 out of 5Highly recommend EC Pavers. Diogo is great to work with and his crew is fast and very detailed. They completed a large project around our pool using 3cm ceramic pavers and mosaic tiles wrapping the spa and waterline of the pool. A few months later, they came back to do the driveway also in the same ceramic pavers. The work was done promptly and everything was handled in a professional and efficient manner. Diogo has come back a few times to take care of minor items and is always available to address any concerns. I’m very happy with the work and highly recommend them to anyone.
