Everyone is spending more time at home these days and people are investing more than ever in making their home a comfortable place they enjoy spending their time. Creating a specialized outdoor patio space for the activities your family enjoys is what we do best at Norristown Brick. One of the first decisions a homeowner must make when designing their new patio is which type of paver system to use. We believe that there are many advantages of concrete pavers and here’s why:
Long-life
Concrete pavers are much stronger than a slab of poured concrete. They can be up to four times stronger which means that they can support four times the amount of weight of its poured concrete counterpart. For this reason, the lifespan of concrete pavers can last up to 50 years! That’s an incredible investment for your home.
Durability
Being that our service area is in the Northeast part of the country, climate is a factor in your paver choice. All four seasons affect our area. This is an important factor in choosing your patio surface because the ground contracts and shifts during the cold winter months. Concrete pavers can shift and go back to where they were during this change in weather. Using concrete can cause cracks that are difficult to repair and replace.
Care
One of the best attributes of concrete pavers is taking care of them because it’s super easy! We suggest placing a protective seal over them once installed and that’s about it. They can easily be cleaned by simply using a leaf blower, broom, or even a hose to clear off the day-to-day debris.
Easy to Fix
If you need to fix a large section of concrete it can be expensive and more difficult because you are replacing a larger section of your patio. By using smaller concrete pavers, they are quick, simple, and easy to install.
Design
Choosing the design of your patio could not be any easier or give you more flexibility for creativity when using concrete pavers. Due to their size, array of colors, and patterns that they come in, the homeowner has complete artistic control to design a patio surface that meets their liking.
Cost
Many factors make concrete pavers the way to go. The pavers themselves cost less than other options and are simpler and less expensive to replace than larger options if need be. If you’re looking for a cost-effective option, choose concrete pavers.
