Pavers Guys and Brick Paver

pavers that are 60 mm (2 - 3/8 in) thickness are suitable for pedestrian applications. pavers that are going to be used in commercial or industrial applications should be 80 mm (3 - 1/8 in) in thickness.

Reference/starting point for brick paver installation

Brick Paver - There are a number of conditions that determine the starting point of a paver project.

When starting to install pavers it is best to snap a true straight chalk line on the surface of the bedding sand or pull a true straight string line above the surface of the bedding sand at the finished elevation of the pavers. This will help as a guide for maintaining straight joint lines and will also allow the installer to make adjustments in the alignment of the pavers.

Buildings and concrete curbing are generally not straight and should not be used for establishing straight joint lines. The use of string lines is essential to determine the true straightness of the edge as well. As the paver installation progresses, the string lines will help minimize the need for small trim pieces.

Brick Paver by Pavers Guys

Pavers Guys understands joint width between pavers should be between 1/16 and 3/16 in (2 and 5 mm ). There are some pavers with spacer bars on their sides. These will maintain a minimum joint width and allow the bedding and jointing sand to enter between each paver. pavers with spacer bars are generally not laid in snug against each other since a string line will provide consistent joint spacing.
