Detailed Specifications
Mesh back paving stones, also known as interlocking pavers or permeable pavers, are a type of paving material that is commonly used for outdoor surfaces such as driveways, patios, and walkways. These pavers are designed to fit together in a mesh-like pattern, allowing water to flow through the gaps between the pavers and into the ground below. This helps to prevent erosion and water damage, and can also help to reduce the amount of stormwater runoff that flows into streets and other waterways.
Key Takeaways
- Natural basalt — density 2,800–3,000 kg/m³, water absorption ≤0.3%, compressive strength 110–400 MPa
- Hardness: 5–7 Mohs, suitable for both interior and exterior applications when properly specified
- Phoenix Power Stone factory-direct supply — 108,000 sqft facility, Shandong, China, 24+ years of export experience
One of the main considerations when using mesh back paving stone, it is the installation process. These pavers must be installed correctly in order to ensure that they are stable and secure, and the process can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is often recommended to hire a professional contractor to handle the installation process, as they will have the necessary experience and equipment to ensure that the pavers are installed correctly.
Overall, mesh back paving stones are a durable and attractive choice for outdoor surfaces such as driveways, patios, and walkways. They are versatile and can be used to create a wide range of designs, and their ability to allow water to flow through the gaps between the pavers makes them an environmentally-friendly choice. While the installation process can be complex, the end result is a high-quality and long-lasting surface that adds value and appeal to any property.Specifications
