It’s possible with Pavers by Ideal.

Unlike asphalt, cast-in-place concrete and stamped patterned surfaces, our pavers provide a mortarless pavement that forever remains free of cracks. They are unaffected by oil and gas spills and, if necessary, can be lifted and reinstated without a trace of an unsightly patch that other paving materials leave behind. Over time dirt, stains and wear are inevitable and affect ALL types of pavements. This is where concrete pavers are superior to other types of pavements because with a little maintenance, you can keep the surface looking beautiful for a lifetime. Simple measures can easily clean dirt, grime, moss and algae, remove rust and oil stains, prevent weeds and ants and even repair areas that may have settled in the long run.

- Easy to install and are skid and slip resistant

- Shapes, designs and textures complement any architectural style

- Our pavers are stronger and will out-perform traditional paving materials

- Unaffected by oil and gas spills

- Repairable without a patch

- Add value and lasting beauty to your home

- Comparable in cost to cast-in-place concrete, stamped pattern asphalt and concrete and composite wood decks

PERMEABLE ECO-FRIENDLY PAvERS

THINkING GREEN? It is important to consider our impact on the environment. If you are environmentally conscientious, or perhaps facing zoning restrictions on surfaces or areas that are limiting what you can build on your property, our eco-friendly permeable interlocking concrete pavers could be the right choice for you.

Our Aqua-Bric and Eco-Stone pavers are made with a notched design that creates a series of openings that allow rainwater – even heavy rainfall – to drain through the pavement surface and infiltrate into the soil below where contaminents are naturally filtered. As an added benefit, snow and ice melt more quickly and drain through the pavement openings, reducing slipping hazards.

In contrast, rain and snow falling onto your patio, walkway, driveway and lawns pick-up pollutants and carry them into nearby catch basins and storm drains. These types of drains do not lead to treatment plants. Instead, contaminated water is conveyed directly to streams, lakes and rivers, and ultimately into coastal waters affecting aquatic life, fishing, swimming and even our drinking water.

Permeable pavers — a built-in solution to managing stormwater pollution with all the benefits, style and character of our traditional pavers. Contact us for more information including easy to follow step-by-step installation instructions. Pavers by Ideal…making products that lessen our impact on the world around us and helping build a cleaner and more sustainable future.

COLORS: OUR BEAUTY IS MORE ThAN SKIN DEEPOur pavers and walls are saturated with rich colors…top-to-bottom…not just at the surface. Because color is throughout, chips, dings and scratches, which are inevitable, quickly “blend-in” and are hardly discernible. Don’t be fooled by gimmicks that are nothing more than a thin veneer.

After all, our products are a lifetime investment.

OUR PROCESS: IT’S ONLY NATURALOur pavers and walls are made with natural ingredients. Look closely and you will find a unique character to each and every paver and wall. In fact, no two look exactly alike. You will see subtle variations in color and texture for a truly natural appearance. Our color blends contain 2 or more pigments to achieve a random variegation and even our solid colors have nuances in tone and hue. Please remember that, unlike a painted or stained surface, concrete products have inherent texture and shade variations. The product you receive may vary in color and texture from samples. Cubes of product may contain a different percentage of colors and textures than shown in this catalog. As you would with dye lots in fabric and carpet, purchase your pavers and walls all at one time. When installing, product should be selected randomly from several cubes to obtain uniform color distribution.

S MeetinG YouR exPeCtationsAs you consider a new walkway, patio, driveway, landscape wall, or other hardscape project, you have lots of choices as to which product and color to select. It’s an important decision. After all, it’s an investment that should meet your expectations for years to come. So we thought it would be helpful and responsible to pass along some sound advice.

What should be realistic expectations for your pavement or wall? Our pavers, walls and garden products are commercial grade – unlike similar products found in large home improvement stores. Ours are factory made and delivered in ready-to-use condition that meets the highest industry standards. This means they are strong, dense and durable. Properly installed, your pavement and landscape walls will provide years of lasting beauty and dependable performance! Ideal has made and sold hundreds of millions of paving stones and countless landscape walls since 1975. In fact, no other manufacturer has sold more in New England than Ideal. Our name has become synonymous with quality, service and reliability. While some manufacturers would lead you to believe their pavers and walls will never change in appearance, we believe in a more realistic position. Over time, wear and tear and exposure to the elements takes a toll on us and our surroundings and affects everyone and everything. We keep this in mind in our design. You can expect the color tones, shape and pattern of Ideal products to remain for a lifetime!

For additional information, we recommend ICPI Peak Performance – a Maintenance Guide for Consumers published by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute. It contains a wealth of information that will help keep your pavement in tip top shape and can be found on our website.

TUMBLED OR TRADITIONAL: WE COME CLOSE TO FOOLING MOThER NATUREWe manufacture our pavers and walls with a choice of finishes. Choose pavers with a traditional surface or ones with the look and feel found in vintage pavements. From our wall collection select styles with a rugged split face to our tumbled finish that resembles handcrafted walls of yesteryear.

To faithfully reproduce the color, texture and durability of vintage stone, we use an innovative technology that enables us to impart an “old world” charm using a unique factory process that antiques the surface, while preserving the inherent structural stability. We call it Genuine Drum-Roll Tumbled, and although it takes more time and effort than automated processes used by other manufacturers, it creates pavers and wallstones that truly capture the nostalgia of time-honored colors and textures of natural materials.

SNOW, ICE AND DEICERS Our pavers and walls are more than beautiful. They have the durability to withstand New England’s harsh winters and, when properly installed, snow removal is no problem…either by shovel, snow blower or a plow using a rubber or poly plastic cutting edge.

Our pavers have a surface that is slip and skid resistant even when wet. Ice, on the other hand, can be slippery, particularly as it melts, and common sense should be used to prevent slips and falls. We recommend sand for traction. It can be applied liberally and as often as needed. Sand provides a visual reference of its presence and can be felt underfoot as a tangible medium aiding foot traffic. Clean, untreated sand has no corrosive effect on steel, metal, clay brick, cast-in-place concrete or concrete pavers and it can be swept into the paver joints or removed by conventional sweeping or vacuuming.

Concrete pavers are exceptionally robust in resisting the effects of deicing chemicals. We have manufactured pavers that have been exposed to salts for over 35 years! Nevertheless, chlorides can be harmful to concrete, steel and other building materials depending on the type, concentration and frequency of application. If using a deicer, we recommend a NaCl sodium chloride. Other types should be carefully evaluated, including products that contain a blend of chemicals. Once loosened, snow and ice should be promptly removed by plow or shovel to avoid a build-up in concentration of the deicing chemical.

EFFLORESCENCE

A white haze known as efflorescence sometimes appears on the surface of concrete and masonry products. Technically known as calcium hydroxide, it can come from a number of sources and appears as a white film when carried to the surface by moisture. It may appear randomly or in certain areas and is more pronounced on darker colors. The good news is efflorescence does not affect longevity or structural performance. Although unsightly when it first appears, in many cases it is scoured off during installation, or if desired, it can be removed using specialty cleaners. Otherwise, it will typically lessen, or dissipate, over time with rain, snow and wear.

Because efflorescence can be a natural by-product of cement hydration, its presence is not indicative of a flawed or defective product and we, as do all other manufacturers, disclaim it from our warranty.

PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED OR DO-IT-YOURSELF? WE CAN hELP!Deciding often depends on the size and scope of the work, as well as how ambitious you are. While small walks may be a weekend project, others will take far longer. Your authorized Pavers by Ideal dealer can recommend contractors suited for your project. Be sure to check references, visit projects they have installed, make sure they have insurance and…get it in writing!!

Visit our website www.idealconcreteblock.com for more helpful tips on hiring a contractor. For the ambitious DIY-er we have easy-to-follow instructions that will guide you step-by-step for beautiful results.

A PICTURE IS WORTh A ThOUSAND WORDSHow true the saying is that a picture conveys an image that words can never describe. That is why we use pictures generously throughout this catalog to depict our products. And yet many factors influence one’s perception of images and colors, and they may appear different from one photo to the next. Angle of light and time of day greatly affect perception, and colors printed in ink cannot exactly match the actual concrete product colors. The point we are trying to make is the images shown in this catalog are only the first step in selecting colors. Once you have narrowed your choices, obtain actual samples from your dealer or contractor. View them in the setting where they will be installed before making your final selection.
