What are interlocking pavers?

By definition, ‘interlocking’ means to connect two parts, so that the motion of any part is restricted by another part. As suggested by its name, interlocking stone pavers connect with each other to create a cohesive, walkway, patio, driveway or road.

Commonly constructed of cement or concrete, the special interlocking feature of pavers allows for easy installation without the use of mortar. When the installation is done properly, this combination becomes a unified whole, making it strong and durable for years to come.

Interlocking pavers are available in various colors and designs. They are modular, which means that they connect together to form a variety of beautiful geometric designs.

Mika HD² Pavers by Techo-Bloc

Brick inspired driveways.

Brick has been a part of our landscaping and architectural identity for centuries. Its become a mainstay of traditional design for a reason - it’s classic, uncomplicated, and stunning.

This timeless hardscaping material has been used for everything from walkways to driveways, outdoor pizza ovens and roadways. The look and feel of brick evokes a sense of tradition and permeance few building materials can match.

It’s no surprise then, that brick has survived and thrived as a go-to hardscaping material for homeowners when designing their dream driveway.

The irony, of course, is that traditional brick manufacturing lacks the staying power to withstand the harsh Canadian winters and extreme temperatures of some parts of our beloved country. The brick clay of your grandparents and parents cracked and chipped easily, and wasn’t an ideal driveway material as it lacks any significant load bearing capacity.

The advent of new technology in designing and creating stone pavers that resemble the brick of old offers the same warmth and delicious feel of the classic brick, but has been imbued with more durability and resistance.

Techo-Bloc’s Mika paver is the evolution of the brick-look, and a significant leap forward in outdoor paver design technology. Their exciting take on an old-world mainstay has brought us a new-age brick in three amazing colors, and the freedom to incorporate this outdoor paver stone into any driveway design you can imagine from classic herringbone to interlocking stone design work.
