What is domestic block paving and what is it used for?

Block paving is a type of cuboid-shaped paving brick, specifically made for driveways. These driveway pavers are designed to be much thicker and stronger than normal paving slabs. Thanks to this, you can park cars on block paving without worrying about any cracks or breakages appearing in the bricks.

Paving blocks aren’t just functional, either. Paved driveways enhance a home's kerbside appeal while showcasing your sense of style. 

It is important to note that while all our driveway block paving is made from concrete, it cannot be used interchangeably with concrete paving slabs, which are thinner paving slabs. As such, these should only be used for patios as they are not thick enough to support the weight of vehicles on a driveway.
