Paving Laying Patterns

There are various options when it comes to laying your SmartStone paving. Some paving laying patterns are simple whereas other laying patterns are a bit more complex and require some attention. Please make sure that your installer is familiar and experienced with installing such design before starting.

The choice of laying pattern is determined by the size and combinations of pavers as well as the application. Some patterns provide superior interlock, while others might be more aesthetically pleasing.

A herringbone pattern provides the best interlock as it can withstand traffic in multiple directions and disperses loads more effectively. Long continuous joints in the direction of vehicular traffic should be avoided. Therefore, square bond and basket weave patterns are not ideal for vehicular traffic.
