Step 4 Select the paver size you prefer. Large format pavers are
larger than or equal to 300mm (length) x 300mm (w idth)
and small format pavers are less than 300 x 300mm.
Your choice will depend on the look you wish to achieve
as per Step 1.
(Bullnose pavers have a rounded edge along one face of
the paver, making them ideal for steps and pool edges.)
Step 5 Select a colour that complements your area, home
and surroundings.

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