Paver Base Panel

Description

Product Description:

The Paver Base Panel is an innovative solution for paver installation, offering a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to traditional granular bases. Designed with a tongue and groove system, these interlocking panels provide enhanced stability, reduced installation time, and better frost protection. Ideal for large-format pavers and slabs, the Paver Base Panel minimizes excavation depth and installation labor while ensuring optimal performance under dynamic loads.

Key Benefits:

• Saves 6” of crushed stone base: Reduces excavation depth and disposal requirements.
• Cost-effective: Saves at least 20% on labor costs and overall installation time.
• Lock-N-Go System: Easy-to-install tongue and groove design for seamless interlocking.
• Frost Protection: Enhanced resistance against freeze-thaw cycles.
• Compatible with Heated Systems: Usable in paving systems up to 122°F.
• Rain-Tolerant: Performs well under wet installation conditions.
