Reasons to Choose Interlocking Paver Blocks for External Flooring

Author: Pavers India

Paver blocks are widely used these days for external flooring as an alternative to brick, clay or concrete. Different materials are used in manufacturing of these blocks. These are available in different sizes, colors and shapes for varied requirements.

Interlocking paver blocks are type of paver, also known as segmental paver. Such blocks are manufactured by concrete and require joint filling materials like sand and clay while paving. Due to higher strength at joints offered by these blocks, it has become most suitable for all type of external flooring.

These pavers are made from dry mixture of gravel, cement, sand and color. High pressure and vibration of conveyor belt mold this dry mixture into proper shape i.e. finished state. Strength of these blocks depends upon amount of water, cement and size of aggregate. Less the water and more the cement makes these pavers stronger. Bigger size of aggregate also increases the strength.

Interlocking paver blocks are preferred to use due to higher interlocking strength provided by it. While paving, silica sand is used as joint material. Silica sand offers higher joint strength by resisting the movement of blocks. Sand holds these pavers together.

Interlocking paver block manufacturer provides supply and installation, both services to the customers. They offer wide variety of pavers for varied requirements. Customized products on the basis of customer’s specifications are also provided by them. Installation of these pavers includes following steps-

  • Removal of old pavement
  • Compaction of sub base area
  • Installation of base- it includes laying varying size of gravels on the floor.
  • Sand bedding
  • Cutting pavers into requisite size using dry saw
  • Installation of outside boundary to create restraints for blocks.
  • Compaction of paver segments
  • Removing extra sand of the floor

Floors are ready to use immediately after such type of pavements which is one of the main advantage. Paving is preferred these days because with reliability and strength it also gives beautiful look to the floors. Easy installation and removal, higher compressive strength, high durability and reusability of interlocking pavers made it suitable for pavement of all categories of traffic area and external flooring in houses.

Cost of interlocking pavers and its installation charges are very reasonable. These can be reused also after removal so using these for pavements is economically beneficial in all aspects. Manufacturers provide supply and installation services all over India.
