FAQs

What is the coverage of a Drivesett Tegula Project Pack?

A standard Project Pack covers approximately 9.73m2.

How many block sizes are available?

Can I use this block paving for heavy traffic areas?

Yes, Drivesett Tegula is available in multiple depths, including 60mm and 80mm, making it suitable for heavier traffic applications.

What should I do to avoid color inconsistencies?

Always source your blocks from the same factory and batch number. It is also recommended to blend blocks from 3 to 5 different packs during installation for a more consistent look.

Yes, Marshalls offers a Drivesett Tegula Priora option, which is a permeable block paving solution.

How much extra material should I order?

Travis Perkins recommends adding approximately 10% to your order to account for installation cuts, breakages during fitting, and potential future repairs.

What is the finish of Drivesett Tegula?

Troubleshooting

Color variation between blocks.

Ensure all blocks are sourced from the same factory and batch number. Blend blocks from multiple packs (3-5 recommended) during installation to achieve a more uniform appearance.

Blocks sinking or uneven surface.

This typically indicates inadequate sub-base preparation or compaction. Ensure the base is stable, well-drained, and properly compacted before laying the blocks. Re-level if necessary.

Weed growth in joints.

Thoroughly sweep kiln-dried sand into the joints after installation. Regular sweeping and occasional treatment with a suitable weed killer can help prevent regrowth.

Staining on the surface.

Address spills immediately. For general cleaning, use a stiff brush and water. For tougher stains, a mild detergent may be used, followed by a thorough rinse. Test cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Recommendations:

  1. Base Preparation: Ensure a stable, well-compacted sub-base is prepared according to local building regulations and ground conditions.
  2. Laying Course: Lay blocks on a 30-50mm bed of sharp sand.
  3. Blending: For optimal color consistency, blend blocks from 3 to 5 different packs. Arrange blocks in vertical columns rather than horizontal rows to enhance the visual appeal.
  4. Cuts: Plan for cuts around edges and obstacles. It is recommended to add approximately 10% extra to your order to account for installation cuts, breakages, and future repairs.
  5. Jointing: Once laid and compacted, fill the joints with kiln-dried sand and brush it in to lock the blocks securely.

Compatibility:

  • Drivesett Tegula is compatible with Marshalls' range of coordinating kerbs, walling, and circle features for a complete landscape design.
  • A Priora block option is available for those seeking a permeable paving solution.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Regular sweeping will remove debris and prevent moss or weed growth.
  • For cleaning, use a stiff brush and water. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent can be used, followed by rinsing.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers on a high setting, as this can damage the surface or displace jointing sand.
