Q: What is the difference between "Clay Pavers and Concrete Pavers"?
A: Clay Pavers are made with real clay that is mixed, extruded and baked in a kin at very high temperatures and concrete pavers are made with a special blend of concrete coloring that is compacted at very high pressures in a special machine.
Q: Which type of paver is better?
A: There is very little difference between pavers in general. The important difference is the maker of the pavers. Paving materials can vary from one manufacturer to next. The qualities that make a paver perfect are its compressive strength, water absorbtion rate and abrasion index.
Q: What happens if I have to do a repair job below the paving? Does it leave an unsightly patch mark?
A: No, that is one of the long term benefits to installing Flexible Paving. All interlocking paving is flexible can be also resist cracking.
Q: What does "Interlocking Paving" mean?
A: "Interlocking is a bit misleading. What actually constitutes interlocking is a real dynamic function containing three different components. They are "rotational interlock" (resistance to tipping) "horizontal interlock" (resistance to spreading) "vertical interlock" (resistance to sinking). For lasting quality you need good containment, a good base and proper paver thickness. Thicker pavers for driveways and thinner pavers for patios.
Q: After you're done paving my parking pad, should I seal it?
A: Yes, sealant protects the paver surface from vehicle leaks that might permanently stain most materials, including pavers. When it's sealed it only takes a hose to clean it off and periodic re-treatments. We use breathable type sealers that protect against just about anything.
