FAQs

What are the dimensions of each block?

Each block measures 160mm in length, 160mm in width, and 50mm in thickness.

Can I use these blocks for a driveway?

Yes, they are engineered to be durable enough for residential driveway applications.

Why do I need to mix blocks from different packs?

Blending from 3 to 5 packs ensures that any minor manufacturing color variations are distributed evenly, preventing patchy areas.

Is the Charcoal color prone to fading?

The blocks are manufactured to maintain their appearance, though natural weathering can occur over many years.

Can these be laid on top of existing concrete?

It is generally recommended to remove old surfaces and create a proper drainage-capable sub-base to ensure longevity and prevent movement.

What is the best way to clean these pavers?

Regular sweeping and a light rinse with water are sufficient; avoid high-pressure cleaning that could strip the surface texture.

Troubleshooting

Visible color variation between sections of the paving

Ensure you are mixing blocks from 3 to 5 different packs simultaneously during installation to achieve an even blend.

Paving appears sunken or uneven after installation

This is typically caused by improper sub-base compaction; ensure the base is leveled and compacted correctly before laying blocks.

Weeds growing between block joints

Use a jointing sand stabilizer or regularly sweep in new kiln-dried sand to fill gaps and inhibit weed growth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and hardwearing concrete material
  • Versatile size for flexible design and layout
  • Timeless charcoal aesthetic
  • Suitable for both driveways and pedestrian areas

Cons

  • Requires blending multiple packs to avoid color patchiness
  • Requires professional sub-base preparation
  • Heavy weight requires significant labor for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the longevity of your paving. Begin with a well-compacted sub-base consisting of MOT Type 1 aggregate, topped with a sharp sand laying course. Ensure adequate drainage is planned to prevent water pooling on the surface.

For ongoing maintenance, the surface is low-maintenance; a simple regular sweep and occasional wash with mild soap and water will keep the charcoal color looking fresh. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or high-pressure washers set to extreme power, as these can damage the concrete surface texture over time. If weeds appear in the joints, use a dedicated patio cleaner or carefully remove them manually to maintain the structural integrity of the paving sand.
