Belgard Concrete Pavers
 The Belgard Concrete Paver System
We manufacture Belgard interlocking concrete pavers in the most modern facilities to the highest standards.
The exacting requirement is ASTM C936 which is the same standard which all commercial and industrial interlocking concrete pavers must meet.
The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute certifies that all Belgard pavers comply with ASTM C936.
Belgard Concrete Paver Material
We insist that the material used by an Authorized Belgard Contractor to construct the base of your pavement must meet the standards of your state governing graded aggregate material.
The bedding sand must comply with ASTM C33 or ASTM C144. The Authorized Belgard Contractor who installs your pavement underwent training to use the proper materials and to construct your pavement using the guidelines and recommendations of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute.
Authorized Belgard Contractor
Your Authorized Belgard Contractor takes pride in his workmanship and provides you with a guarantee of his workmanship for a period of 5 years.
Belgard Concrete Pavers
The Belgard interlocking concrete pavers used in your pavement are extremely durable. We manufacture our pavers using specific sands, crushed stone, cement, water and color fast pigments which provide most of the color.
A computer operated machine, especially designed for the purpose, forms the concrete mixture into the shapes used in your pavement. We manufacture most Belgard pavers with a beveled edge around the top of the paver. The bevel, or chamfer, ensures that there is no tripping hazard if a paver happens to be slightly higher or lower than its neighbors. The chamfer also reduces the chance for chipping of the paver edge.
You will notice that the surface of your paver is slightly coarse to the touch. This texture is to provide a safe non-slip walking or driving surface even when wet. The very dense structure of the paver minimizes the amount of moisture which can penetrate and cause damage during freeze cycles.
The contractor places the pavers in a sand setting bed surrounded by an edge restraint which keeps the desired uniform joint spaces between pavers and prevents the edge pavers from moving outward. The sand used to fill the joint spaces provides vertical interlock between pavers and allows the pavement to behave as a strong but flexible mat.
Your Belgard Pavement features superior aesthetic value and far less maintenance than competing pavements.
