Examples of the differences in brick paver materials
Clay Brick Pavers
Strength and Durability
Manufactured to withstand an extremely high level of loading, clay brick pavers are suited to many different types of landscaping applications including pedestrian walkways and vehicle driveways.
Flexible Integrity
Clay pavers will prevent cracking of the pavement system because they maintain their interlocking form better than poured-in-place-concrete. When underlying earth and materials move, clay paving adjusts itself to accommodate the movement.
Long Term Cost Benefits
Providing an easy repair and recycle solution, if brick pavers become damaged or stained it is simply a matter of lifting off the damaged paver and replacing it with a new one. It works just like replacing a small piece of a jigsaw puzzle! Therefore, the overall maintenance and replacement cost is significantly lower than other forms of paving materials, such as asphalt.
Non-Slip Surface
Clay pavers are skid and slip resistant because of their natural textured surface and highly abrasive characteristics. Clay brick pavers provide an excellent solution for heavily trafficked wet areas, such as swimming pool pathways and outdoor areas. Municipal bodies use them for highways and pedestrian footpaths.
Fast Installation
Hawaii is the perfect weather condition to lay brick pavers. The moderate weather helps to keep the cost of installation, time management and budgeting issues in check. The installation process is quick, easy and simple so they are ready to be trafficked upon immediately after the installation process is finalized.
Environmental Responsibility
Made from a natural clay material from the earth's soil, clay bricks will not loose any of its color or finish over the long term. It’s a solid investment that appreciates the value of your property.
Color Integrity
Clay pavers will maintain their color permanently and consistently and they won’t be affected by any form of ultraviolet light. Dark colors, shininess or reflective light do not create any problems. The beauty and rich color of clay pavers is an inherent property of clay material and color is NOT added as an artificial dye or pigment during the manufacturing process. Therefore the integrity of the clay material is maintained and is the main reason why clay brick pavers do not fade over the long-term.
Low Maintenance
Clean your brick pavers with some detergent, water and a scrubbing brush. They should require little maintenance and can be expected to last for generations to come. There are streets in Boston that have been in use for 200 years!
CONCRETE PAVERS
Design Flexibility
Concrete pavers come in many shapes, patterns and colors allowing for design creativity. Suppliers stock rustic stone-like pavers that look like clay brick. Light colored pavers offer a cooler surface around patios and pool decks.
Paver Strength
With exceptional strength and durability, concrete pavers are extremely dense units giving them superior stability under severe loads. Each unit has joints that allow for a small amount of movement without cracking and factory made pavers can last for decades.
Concrete pavers are stronger than regular poured concrete surfaces and more durable than black asphalt because they are manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances. They can take more abuse and last for generations. A segmental paving system allows for expansion and contraction without producing surface cracks, unlike monolithic concrete surfaces and stamped concrete.
Easy to Repair
Concrete pavers can be removed and reinstated with no ugly patches after repairs to the base or underground utilities. Asphalt, concrete, and stamped concrete can't make this claim. Pavers are low-maintenance and offer low life-cycle costs.
Maintenance
Broken or stained pavers can be replaced easily without patches plus dark colored pavers can help hide stains. Prevent weeds or ants in joints with sealers or herbicides. Pavers can be repaired by lifting the affected area, re-grading and re-compacting the base and bedding sand and reinstalling the same pavers. It is an inexpensive procedure that leaves no unsightly repair patches.
Maintain pavers with regular sweeping and occasional rinsing. For heavy soiling you can pressure wash pavers with appropriate clearing solutions (re-sanding of joints will be necessary) or a simple spot treatment with a brush, cleaner, water and some elbow grease will often solve the problem.
Weather Resistance
The Hawaiian climate is perfect for pavers and can be trafficked immediately upon compaction. The joints between the pavers eliminate the cracking common with traditional asphalt and concrete pavements.
Durability
The interlocking flexible system will allow for movement and they are almost indestructible. The pavement system moves in unison with the earths usual tendency to swell and contract over the long term thus avoiding any serious damage.
Versatility
Pavers can be applied in both residential and commercial settings, including surface coverings for driveways, parking lots, promenades, sidewalks, pool decks, lanais, streets, golf cart paths and gardens. Interlocking concrete pavers are a aesthetically attractive and sensible choice for all outdoor surfaces.
