Granite Paving
Granite paving refers to the use of granite as a material for constructing paved surfaces such as walkways, driveways, patios, and other outdoor areas. Granite is a type of igneous rock that is known for its durability, strength, and aesthetic appeal, making it a popular choice for paving applications.
When used as paving, granite is typically cut into various shapes and sizes, such as squares or rectangles, to create a uniform and visually pleasing surface. The individual granite pavers are then laid out and installed on a prepared base, often with the use of mortar or other binding materials.
There are several reasons why granite is favoured for paving projects:
1. Durability: Granite is a dense and hard rock, which makes it highly resistant to wear and tear. It can withstand heavy foot traffic, vehicular loads, and various weather conditions without significant damage.
2. Strength: Granite’s strength allows it to bear substantial weight, making it suitable for areas with heavy load requirements, such as driveways or commercial spaces.
3. Aesthetics: Granite is known for its natural beauty and comes in a wide range of colours and patterns. It adds an elegant and timeless look to outdoor spaces, enhancing their overall appeal.
4. Low maintenance: Granite paving requires minimal maintenance. It is resistant to stains, fading, and discoloration, and can be easily cleaned with water and mild detergents.
5. Longevity: Due to its durability, granite paving can last for many years without needing replacement, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
6. Slip resistance: Granite’s textured surface provides good traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls, especially when the paving is exposed to water or moisture.
