paver adhesives
Paver adhesives have become a most important tool in any driveway and patio installer’s construction tool arsenal. These amazing glues are useful in an increasingly wide variety of ways, from making more durable walls and steps, to placing new stonework atop existing slabs of cement. Paver glues have incredible adhering strength any more, even more so than cement itself. In fact, these glues are replacing cement in a wide area of application.
I have installed many many new patios over pre-existing patios and side walks. The cement base becomes our sub base making preparation nearly moot. The only true preparation is in the perfection of cleaning the surface prior to the gluing. Once clean of all greases, soils or any other contaminant, we apply glue during the laying of pavers in their normal patterns. The durability is mind blowing. The glues tend to dry rapidly and adhere most strongly with a clean base.
We have also been able to apply glue and the pavers to pre-existing stairs rising from a patio or driveway into a home. The ability to carry the design pattern to another platform has designers more than pleased. The look is strong and congruent with the laying field beyond, lending an organic touch of continuity to the entire project.
Strong and durable, paver adhesives have become yet another avenue toward beauty in the design and installation of driveways, walks and patios.
