Clay Sample Kit

ORCA clay pavers are made from locally sourced California clay and recycled aggregate materials. They are pressed and fired at high temperatures to create a dense, durable surface. By sourcing materials close to the manufacturing site, ORCA reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation.

Yes. When sand-set over a compacted gravel sub-base, ORCA clay pavers are inherently permeable. Water passes through the joints and infiltrates the soil below, replenishing natural aquifers, supporting plant root health, and reducing stormwater runoff, and making them a sustainable alternative to poured concrete.

Our pavers are rated for pedestrian and patio use. For driveway-grade applications, contact our studio for a paver consultation at hello@orcaliving.com.

Clay pavers require minimal maintenance. Sweep or blow off debris regularly and rinse with water as needed. Re-sand joints with decomposed granite or polymeric sand every few years as material settles. Avoid close-range power washing, which can displace joint material. No chemical treatments or sealants are needed.

Yes, tile and split brick formats are great for use indoors when they are mortared to a substrate and pointed with grout. Clay tiles can be used in indoor showers when proper care is taken for good drainage and drying between uses. A clay masonry sealant with antimicrobial agents can be useful for bathroom and kitchen applications.

Pavers ship on pallets via freight carrier. A shipping quote will be coordinated after your order is placed. Please ensure your delivery site has accessible, level vehicle access for freight delivery. For large or custom-quantity orders, contact hello@orcaliving.com before ordering.
