Frequently asked questions
Below are a few questions often asked by clients:
Which pavers will retain their colour the best?
When deciding between the 3 options, it's important to consider how they are going to wear over time.
In terms of the strength of the pavers, all pavers should last a lifetime (provided they have been bought from a company abiding to the relevant SANS standards).
Ascetically the 3 options will wear differently.
Clay paving's colour will never fade because the colour of the products are the natural materials used to create the pavers themselves.
The cement based pavers use an oxide to obtain their colour. These products do tend to fade slightly after 5 - 10 years. All depending on the way the products have been maintained.

What is the difference between Dry Cast and Wet Cast paving?
The difference is in the way they are manufactured.
Wet Cast pavers are manufactured using a "liquid" concrete mix, which is then poured into a mold, vibrated and then left to set.
Dry Cast pavers only contain only enough water to hydrate the cement. This mix is compressed in a mold with very high pressure and then cured on a rack before being palletized and processed.

Why it's important to choose the right paving contractor?
Many contractors claim to know how to "lay" paving. Unfortunately, the integrity of your paving depends from what happens prior to installing the paving itself.
It's important to know that not all soil is compactable. Very often additional material will need to be imported and the existing sub-soil will need removed prior to compaction. Only an experienced contractor with the right knowledge and tools will be able to advise you on this.
This is only one of many factors that need to be taken into account prior to the installation. Deciding to use a contractor based on the fact that their quote was the cheapest, most often results in unexpected costs later on down the line.

Do I need to maintain my paving? if so, how?
Yes. It is important to clean your pavers on a regular basis.
Remove any weeds that might be found in the grouting of the paving, as these could grow and shift the pavers over time. Then course broom and an a non-acidic cleaning solution and give your pavers a good scrub. This ensure that any stains don't have time to set.

What paving should I use on my driveway?
According the CMA, all paving should have a minimum compressive strength of 25 MPa.
We suggest only using bricks 50mm or thicker on you driveway.
This would be the minimum for residential use only. If you are looking for a commercial option that need to support heavy loads, a interlocking choice will be the option to go with.
