General Tips

TIP 1: Select pavers that match internal floor coverings to ensure the transition from indoor-out is subtle and blends with your decoration style.

TIP 2: If paving around pools or building steps, choose from our bullnose range to create a smooth finish.

TIP 3: Combining large and small format pavers can add textural qualities for a more distinctive space.

TIP 4: When paving a small space, keep the design simple and use a neutral coloured, large format paver to create a sense of space.

TIP 5. Large format pavers, such as 600 x 600mm speed up the laying process.

TIP 6. Lighter coloured pavers make a shady area seem much brighter and warmer.

TIP 7. Darker colours add contrast and interest to your outdoor areas.

TIP 8. Once your Premier Pavers are laid, use Premier-Seal to maintain a ‘just laid l ook’. This will also help prevent fading, staining and efflorescence.
