Stone masons Dean Marsico and Derek Stearns install porphyry — the most popular paver in Europe and prized for its beauty and durability — in a Florida walkway. However, setting it in a cobble style can be difficult and time-consuming. Not now. Dean and Derek use pre-cut stones set in a fan pattern on a rubber backing. With this recently introduced product, they take a provincial concrete walkway and transform it into an ageless elegant porphyry walkway.
"I Want That" on Fine Living
Episode: "Stone Looks for Countertops, Wireless Smoke Alarms, Convertable Roofs, Quiet Windows"

Get the look of real granite for your counters at half the cost, or try the latest in faux stone. Wireless smoke alarms can provide a critical safety advantage. Choose shade or sun for your patio with a louvered roof. Cut noise with laminate windows and save energy with an insulating paint. Other innovations include a clear propane tank for grills and a safer way to deep fry turkeys.
