Why Pavers

• Van Dieman Paving utilise surplus mine tailings, from the Rossarden Tin Mines to make an extremely heavy duty paver, made up of approx 85% quartz, black granite and other hard metals.
  
  
• We are recycling waste from the Rossarden Tin Mines helping the environment.
  
• At Bell Bay Wharf our pavers been down since the early 1990's and are still in use today, with 100 tonne forklifts and trucks driven on extensively daily.
  
  
• The top 10% - 15% of the paver has the colour mixed through
  (as illustrated), which means if chipped or scratched is hardly visible.
  
  
• Pavers can be lifted up for inspection, or repair of electrical and plumbing etc, without noticeable signs of a repair.
  
  
• Pavers can be moved, re-located and reused.
  
  
• Price per square metre for paving (include laying cost) average 60% of the cost of industrial strength concrete.
  
  
• Pavers can be driven on immediately after laying.
  
  
• Good for unstable and sloping ground.
  
  
• Interlocking pavers are ideal for steep driveways.
  
  
• Very low slippage, so pavers are ideal for wet areas like around swimming pools etc.
  
  
• Scientifically tested for a high average 55MPA rating (strength), where most concrete has a MPA rating of about 25MPA.
  
  
• If concrete cracks: the crack remains
  Concrete looks different when patched or a section is replaced
  


• Concrete usually costs more
  
  
• If Asphalt cracks it sinks and causes pot holes
  Asphalt goes soft in the heat and sun
  Asphalt looks different when patched
  Asphalt can be damaged from fuel spillage
  Asphalt has a shorter life expectancy



• Pavers can be lifted for repairs to sunken bases. Oil or paint stained areas can easily be replaced
  at minimal cost, as only the damaged areas need to be rectified.
