(AS 1012.9/AS1012.12.1) tested pavers at 4 days and showed a strength of 30.5Mpa. Others were tested at 7 days showing a strength of 35 Mpa. Maximum strength after 28 days was over 50 Mpa.
Pavers tested (AS 1012.9/1012.12) indicated that our paver mix after 7 days was as strong as a 40 MPA mix after 28 days. Our paver mix at 28 days had a reading of 51.5MPA. The same mix is used in our 20mm tiles. At 7 days the tiles had a reading of 29.5Mpa and at 28 days, 43.5Mpa. University School of Engineering tested our pavers under a maximum load of 3197 kN and showed a strength of 53.3 Mpa.
These results indicate a very high standard of paver and tiles when taking into consideration that a concrete slab and footings require 20 Mpa, suspended slabs 25-32 Mpa and columns 32-40 Mpa.
DRIVEWAY SAFE >> Because of the high density of our paver >> 20mm tiles must be glued and grouted as a tile.

As you can see from these results the standard of our paver is very high.
Specifications also available on materials for the fixing and bonding of Coping and Bullnose Paving to fibreglass swimming pools.
SALT TESTS (POOLS)
Testing done for resistance to salt attack to AS/NZS4458. Report No.30488, confirms the pavers tested meet the requirements for an exposed grade product.
A product meeting exposure grade would be required on pavers around a salt pool
environment.
HYDROCHLORIC ACID We do not recommend the use of ACID on our paving
Always adopt a QUALIFIED experienced tradesman. |
