PAVER BLOCKS

Paver Blocks Floors Can Be Made In Any Design Or Shape Desired. The Shape Of The Blocks Is So  Designed That, On Laying  They Interlock  With Each Other And Do Not Get Disturbed By Any Longitudinal Or Transverse Loads Coming On The Floor.

HOW PAVER BLOCKS ARE MADE

The blocks are made in either one or two layers for normal or heavy-duty usage.

1) The top layer consists of white cement, marble powder, marble granules, and required pigments for colour.

2) The bottom layer consists of cement, sand and coarse aggregate of required mix to provide strength to the base.

However, pavers for vehicular roads are made in a single layer and are made from concrete of appropriate quality.
