SH 3cm Series Drive-Over Porcelain Pavers

SH1.2 – 3cm Porcelain Pavers

SH1.2 Series pavers are 3cm (1.2”) thick solid porcelain stoneware pavers. These extra thick pavers are characterized by the same high quality of standard 2cm thick pavers but with higher mechanical strength. SH 3cm pavers are 50% thicker than 2cm (3/4″) thick porcelain pavers, making them much stronger and more resistant to impact breakage.

Drive-Over Applications

Use SH 3cm pavers when you need the extra assurance against impact breakage or need to bear heavy loads in public or private spaces. The ability to carry heavy loads and resist impact breakage makes this series a perfect choice for outdoor spaces. SH 3cm pavers are especially suitable for drivable surfaces including parking lots, pads, garages, driveways, ramps, entrance areas, woonerfs, boulevards, and tracks of all types.

Installing Drive-Over Porcelain Pavers

Like other HDG Porcelain Pavers this SH 3cm paver series can be laid over sand or gravel, hard substrates such as concrete, or installed over slope-correcting, height-adjustable Buzon pedestals for raised applications.

More Resistant to Wind Uplift

SH1.2 3cm Series Porcelain pavers are 50% heavier and more resistant to wind uplift compared to 2cm pavers. There is no need for reinforcement backing when setting on Buzon pedestals. Use from less than 1/2″ up to 44″ tall. HDG offers a custom kerf-slot solution on the edges of these pavers. Kerf-cut pavers are used together with the Buzon PB-Clip KIT1 plug, SS Washer and screw to mechanically-fasten these pavers to the pedestal heads for total safety. An installation guide is available upon request.
