Frequently asked questions about the Pavement stones, kerbs category
What are Pavement stones, kerbs and what are they used for?
Pavement stones, kerbs are paving and edging elements made from concrete, natural stone or clinker used for walkways, driveways and garden/road edging. They provide durable, attractive surfaces and protect edges; our category includes various sizes, colours and textures suitable for private and commercial projects.
What materials are available in the Pavement stones, kerbs category?
You can choose interlocking concrete pavers, natural stone such as granite, and clinker units: concrete is cost-effective and durable, natural stone is suitable for premium aesthetics and heavy loads, and clinker offers high wear resistance. Various textures and colours are available.
What thicknesses and sizes are offered?
We stock typical sizes such as 600x600x60 mm, 300x300x60 mm and modules like 400x400x60 mm, plus pavers in 60 mm and 80 mm thicknesses. Use 60 mm for pedestrian areas and 80 mm (or more) for driveways and higher load zones.
Which pavement stone should I choose for a garden path and lawn edge?
Choose 60 mm concrete pavers or modular units with a non-slip finish for garden paths — they’re easy to install and versatile aesthetically. For lawn edging use a kerb stone sized to the desired height, e.g. 1000x80x200 mm for a clear border.
Which pavers can withstand vehicle traffic on a driveway?
Use pavers of 80 mm thickness or thicker made from concrete or natural stone for driveways; 60 mm pavers are acceptable only with reinforced sub-base. Proper base construction — compacted crushed stone and sand — is essential for load-bearing performance.
What is the difference between RK NUNNA-KIVI and RK UNI-KIVI?
RK NUNNA-KIVI is typically a 60 mm paver sold in kits (e.g. 50 m²) and suited for decorative surfaces. RK UNI-KIVI comes in 80 mm thickness (e.g. 39 pcs/m²) and is designed for heavier-duty areas — choose UNI for higher loads.
What kerb sizes are available in the range?
Common kerb sizes include RK ÄÄREKIVI at 1000x80x200 mm and 500x60x130 mm, offered in straight and curved profiles. Choose the size based on desired kerb height and the type of paving edge you need.
Do I need additional accessories to lay pavement stones?
Yes — proper installation requires compacted crushed stone and bedding sand, jointing compound, edge restraints or kerbs, and drainage elements if needed. Our category also offers jointing materials and sealing products for long-lasting results.
How to maintain pavement stones to extend their service life?
Regularly remove debris and weeds, treat oil stains with appropriate cleaners, and refresh joints with dry jointing sand or polyurethane jointing compounds as needed. Maintain drainage to prevent standing water at edges.
Can I mix RK PLAAT 600X600X60 with smaller modules 400x400x60 on the same surface?
Yes — mixing is fine provided both have the same thickness (60 mm) and a consistent sub-base. Coordinate colour and finish choices and plan the layout to minimise cutting waste.
