Clay Pavers

Depending on your project priorities, either of these pavers could work for you and our teams are on hand to help you choose.

In comparison, clay pavers are no more expensive than their concrete counterparts however they’re generally more hard wearing. The choice of colours and patterns available is also wider when looking at clay options. On the other hand, as they are more commonly produced, concrete pavers tend to come in a wider variety of sizes and depths.

Finally, both products are long-lasting and recyclable, so both can add to your project’s eco credentials.

Made from the same material and fired in the same way, clay bricks and clay pavers are often thought of interchangeably when thinking about laying a footpath. Though this can be done, there are key differences to the two products, lending themselves to their respective applications.

Whereas you may find perforations or frogs in your clay brick, a clay paver is a singular solid block without these indentations. This makes them denser and heavier and better for ground application rather than for wall build ups.

The product dimensions are also different, while you can get linear versions of both clay pavers and clay bricks, you’re unlikely to find clay facing bricks that are wider than 73mm. Clay pavers on the other hand come in a larger range of widths, as well as square options called cobbles.
