The Dangers of Making Your Own Interlock
17 June 2019
Making your interlock by yourself can be an attractive alternative. However, the creation of a paved terrace must be done in compliance with specific quality standards for a durable and aesthetic result. By doing the work without the help of professionals, you may end up with a botched result that will not survive over the years.
The Compaction
Many people decide to make their own paving stones and omit or neglect the compaction step. This increases the risk of air pockets and may result in an irregular surface.
The Type of Sand
There are different types of sand to form joints and stabilize slabs. Thus, although it is possible to lay paving stones in almost any type of environment, care must be taken to choose the type of polymer sand for its installation, as their formulas vary.
The Weather
Before starting, make sure that the weather is suitable for the installation of solid paving stones. By doing business with experts, you will have the certainty that your paving stone will be installed in the best conditions for a lasting result.
The Inclination
To avoid the accumulation of standing water, it is important that the inclination of your paving stone is made in such a way that the water is conveyed to the right place. This will also allow ice to form in winter.
In short, it is up to you to make your own paving stone, but it is still advisable to use qualified professionals to ensure the longevity of your investment.
