Olsen Pavingstone offers a pleasing alternative to concrete or asphalt paving. The beauty of paving stones lies not only in their stunning appearance but in the practical application of this unique product.
Paving stones are made from " no slump" concrecte with fade resistant color pigments, compacted under extreme pressure and high frequency vibration. The physical properties of paving stones allow greater load bearing weight (over 8,000 psi) than concrete and set in compacted base which allows them to expand and contract with temperature and environmental changes. This flexibility not only prevents seismic distortion and cracking commom in concrete and asphalt systems. The mortarless, no-grout joints, and and base provide excellent drainage and prevent erosion and stltation. Paving stone surface are availble for immediate use after installation.
