Tri-Hex Paver 80mm Black – Interlocking Heavy-Duty Paver for Modern, High-Traffic Pavements

The Tri-Hex Paver 80mm Black is a professional-grade, interlocking paving unit engineered for exceptional durability and stability under heavy use. Featuring a unique Tri-Hex (three-lobed) interlocking shape, these pavers lock together securely on all three sides, providing maximum resistance to lateral shifting, ruts, and pavement displacement.

The 80mm thickness is the industry standard for heavy vehicular traffic, making this paver perfect for commercial parking lots and demanding residential driveways. Constructed from high-strength, color-pigmented concrete, the paver ensures excellent wear resistance and longevity. The Black (Charcoal) color provides a deep, sophisticated, contemporary look that effectively hides stains and absorbs light, creating a clean, modern pavement aesthetic.

Key Benefits

• Heavy-Duty 80mm Thickness: Meets industry standards for high-traffic vehicular loads and commercial applications.

• Superior Interlock Strength: The Tri-Hex shape maximizes inter-unit friction, providing incredible stability and superior load transfer to the base layer.

• Modern Black Color: Provides a sophisticated, charcoal black aesthetic that minimizes visual soiling and offers excellent design contrast.

• Excellent Load Distribution: The interlock efficiently transfers heavy vehicular loads to the base layer, reducing rutting and pavement damage.

• Durable Concrete: Built from high-strength concrete for excellent wear resistance against weather, abrasion, and oil spills.

• Any area requiring a permanent, high-strength pavement surface with minimal maintenance.

Application Instructions

• Base Prep: Lay the pavers over a correctly prepared, compacted sub-base and a leveling layer of bedding sand (typically 1 inch deep).

• Laying: Start from a fixed, straight edge, laying the units to ensure a tight interlock.

• Cutting: Use a diamond blade saw or paver splitter for cutting edge pieces to fit.

• Edging: Install plastic or concrete edge restraints around the perimeter to prevent lateral creep.

• Compaction & Joint Sand: Compact the laid surface with a plate compactor and sweep fine joint sand (dark grey or black is recommended) into all the gaps to complete the interlock.

Pro Tips

• For the deepest, richest color, ensure joint sand matches or complements the black paver color (e.g., black polymeric sand).

• When laying dark pavers, mix units from several different pallets to ensure optimal color blending.

• Use a rubber mat on the plate compactor when compacting the pavers to prevent chipping the surface.

• Always purchase a small percentage of extra pavers (5-10% waste factor) to account for cuts and potential future repairs.
