Advantages of Brick Pavers
The advantages of using Brick Pavers are that they are made from clay that is shaped and cured by baking in a kiln (like pottery).
Longer Color Retention:
Bricks are naturally colored by mixing in various types of clays, so they retain color better than concrete bricks, particularly when exposed to the harmful rays of the sun and weather.
Brick Pavers Tend To Last Longer:
Bricks may chip or crack over time, but they last for generations. Brick pavers tend to break in response to stress (such as ice, traffic or moisture) while the surface on concrete pavers can erode and fade over a period time.
Brick Pavers Require Less Maintenance:
Clay brick pavers resist staining and require less maintenance and cleaning than concrete pavers.
Clay Bricks Have A Timeless Style:
Clay Bricks have a distinct edge in looks and style compared to concrete bricks. An aged, worn brick walkway retains its charm while cracked or chipped concrete merely looks worn out and in need of repair.
