HydraPressed paving slabs are
made from a concrete mix, using a 400 ton hydraulic
ram at intense pressures exceeding 2250 PSI.
This process creates a product of high density and
durability together with a surface comparable to
that of natural stone. The compressive
strength of the slabs if 8000 PSI. As the
HydraPressed slab is made in a steel mold under
exacting factory conditions, the product is true,
square, and has clean chamfered edges to give a neat
appearance, and to facilitate installation.
HydraPressed paving slabs are
used for pedestrian traffic and are installed on
sand, mortar, or pedestals, for patios, plaza decks,
roof tops, or any other type of pedestrian walking
surface.
Pedestal systems are designed for
use over pitched surfaces. These systems
ensure precise HydraPressed slab alignment and even
spacing to allow for drainage and air circulation
which are critical to the health of any deck
installed over a waterproof membrane. This
type of segmental system allows for ease of access
for repairs or annual maintenance to the subsurface
without damage to the HydraPressed slabs.
For Plaza or roof top
applications caution should be exercised with
respect to the weight of the product as well as the
wind velocities in the areas of use.
