4 BE ASSURED LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE Unilock offers all the benefits of superior paver technology, but with enhancements that make it the premier choice of homeowners who expect exceptional performance. NO SPALLING Spalling describes a surface failure where the top layer of a product is shed, revealing an undesirable surface below. Unilock pavers offer strength up to four times that of poured in place concrete. NO WEEDS When a proper base is installed there is no soil directly beneath your pavers from which weeds can grow, and your paver driveway will stay even for decades. Weed seeds are prevented from falling in from above when joints are kept full with new, more rigid, jointing compounds. NO SETTLING OR CRACKING Pavers are designed to flex with the seasonal freeze thaw cycles of a northern climate, a great advantage over other materials like concrete that can develop unsightly cracks over time.

6 CONTROL WATER FLOW WITH PERMEABLE PAVERS Traditional concrete and asphalt driveways are non-permeable, meaning that rainwater flows off the surface. This water is typically directed into storm water drains. However, in winter, water that remains on the surface of a non-permeable driveway will turn to ice, making the surface slippery. Town Hall and Thornbury are two of our leading pavers that offer permeable installation. Visit unilock.com to see the full line. Channel Water into the Soil and Prevent Puddling and Ice Buildup Permeable pavers look very similar to traditional pavers, but are made with extra space between them so rainwater can flow through the joints instead of running off the surface into storm sewers. Water that flows between the pavers is absorbed into the native soil and helps feed vegetation around the driveway. And because water doesn t puddle on the surface, less ice builds up in winter which means that less de-icing salt is required. PAVER DRIVEWAY BEDDING SAND BASE MATERIAL NATIVE SOIL
