Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, however, pavers offer a slew of benefits you can't achieve with concrete, resulting in a significant cost savings in a long term. Besides enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your property increasing your property value, they are more durable. If a paver gets damaged, it’s much easier and cheaper to replace a single paver than to repair an entire section of poured concrete.

Pavers offer superior resilience and durability against weather conditions compared to poured concrete. Their high compressive strength ensures they withstand wear and tear effectively. Additionally, pavers have low water absorption rates, reducing the risk of staining and damage from freeze-thaw cycles. Maintenance is simple, requiring only regular sweeping and occasional rinsing to keep them in top condition. If a paver becomes severely stained or damaged you can easily replace that unit rather than working on the entire surface, as with concrete.

You can choose from a variety of materials, such as concrete, porcelain, granite, clay, or even marble and travertine. The material you choose will depend on the project.

Regular sealing every 2-3 years, depending on sunlight exposure, is recommended. Sealers prevent dirt from lodging in and stains from soaking into the paver’s surface. They preserve the appearance and prevent fading from UV rays. Additionally, sealers can prevent seeds from germinating in the joints and discourage ants from entering.

Clay pavers offer a blend of aesthetic appeal and practicality, suitable for both contemporary and historic designs. These authentic bricks boast robustness, longevity, and consistent coloration. Their low-maintenance nature eliminates the need for sealers to maintain their appearance over time. Even after many years, they will retain their original look.

While some pavers are water-permeable and can aid in drainage, it’s crucial to ensure proper drainage overall. Rubricx will collaborate with you to design the appropriate grading or pipe network to achieve the best results.

Pavers are perfect for driveways, walkways, steps, backyard patios, and almost any other outdoor space.

Polymeric sand is the ultimate paver jointing material due to its powerful binding agent formed by sand grains and additive particles. It is more durable and erosion-resistant than conventional jointing products, increasing installation longevity. It resists erosion from heavy rain and wind, offers durability, flexibility, weed and pest repellence, and an aesthetic finish. Once hardened, it stabilizes paver joints, preventing weed growth and ant burrowing. Unlike regular sand, it doesn’t wash out easily and saves money on future repairs despite its higher upfront cost.
