FAQs

Can I use these blocks for a heavy-duty driveway?

Yes, the 50mm depth and robust construction are designed to handle standard residential vehicular traffic.

What is the best way to clean the paving?

Regular sweeping and washing with mild soapy water and a stiff broom is usually sufficient to maintain the appearance.

Do I need to seal the blocks?

Sealing is optional but can help protect the color and make the surface more resistant to stains and oil spills.

Can these be laid on an existing concrete base?

It is generally recommended to lay them on a flexible sand bed rather than rigid concrete to allow for drainage and natural ground movement.

How many blocks do I need for my project?

Calculate the total square meterage of your area and ensure you order slightly more than the calculated amount to account for cutting and wastage.

Troubleshooting

Paving blocks are sinking or moving.

This usually indicates an insufficient or poorly compacted sub-base. The affected area must be lifted, the sub-base re-compacted, and the blocks re-laid.

Weeds growing between the blocks.

Ensure joints are fully filled with kiln-dried sand. If weeds persist, use a patio-safe weed killer or manually remove them before topping up the jointing sand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable construction for lasting performance
  • Versatile smooth finish suitable for contemporary and traditional homes
  • Excellent for both heavy-duty driveways and aesthetic patio areas
  • Multiple layout options to accommodate custom design preferences

Cons

  • Requires proper sub-base preparation to prevent sinking
  • Heavier weight requires careful handling during installation
  • Limited to specific dimensions (160 x 120 x 50mm) which may not fit all custom edge gaps

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Successful installation begins with a solid foundation. Excavate the area to the required depth and install a sub-base of MOT Type 1 aggregate, compacted thoroughly. Lay a sharp sand bedding layer (typically 50mm) to level the blocks before compacting with a plate vibrator. For maintenance, simply sweep the area regularly to prevent weed growth in joints. Use kiln-dried sand to refill joints if they appear depleted over time. Avoid using harsh chemical de-icers in winter, as these can potentially affect the surface finish; instead, use sand or grit for traction.
