Step 4 Select the paver size you prefer. Large format pavers are<br />
larger than or equal to 300mm (length) x 300mm (w idth)<br />
and small format pavers are less than 300 x 300mm.<br />
<strong>Your</strong> choice will depend on the look you wish to achieve<br />
as per Step 1.<br />
(Bullnose pavers have a rounded edge along one face of<br />
the paver, making them ideal for steps and pool edges.)<br />

Tip 7<br />
If paving around pools or building stairs, choose a range that includes a bullnose,<br />
like Aspenstone ® or Stoneworks Travertine, to create a smooth finish.<br />
Combining large and small format pavers can add textural qualities for a more<br />
distinctive space.<br />
Geo-Fix paving joint mortar saves time, effort and water and is ideal for applying<br />
a permanent, rigid joint more than 5mm wide and a minimum 25mm deep on all<br />
types of paving.<br />
When paving a small space keep the design simple and use a neutral coloured,<br />
large format paver to create a sense of space.<br />
<strong>Boral</strong> recommends that even pre-sealed pavers be resealed with a quality<br />
penetrating sealer following installation.<br />
Large format pavers, such as Aspenstone® and Stoneworks Travertine, speed<br />
up the laying process.
