Types of Paving Stones

In ancient times, paving was done using relatively roughly processed natural stones, but today there is a wide range of paving options available. This diversity is largely due to the advanced technology in concrete paving stone production, which offers various shapes and colors. Paving materials differ in their durability, aesthetic properties, and cost.

Advantages of Paving Stones:

  • Long Service Life and High Durability: Paving stones are known for their longevity and resistance to wear and tear.

  • Ease of Renovation and Repair: It is convenient to undertake reconstruction and repair work on paving stones.

  • Ease of Transportation: Paving stones are relatively easy to handle and transport.

  • No Deformation in Hot Weather: Unlike some materials, paving stones do not deform under high temperatures.

  • No Special Construction Equipment Required for Small Projects: Small-scale projects can be completed without the need for specialized construction machinery.

  • Wide Range of Colors and Shapes: Paving stones are available in a vast array of colors and shapes, allowing for flexible design options.
