Hydra-pressed / Architectural Slabs or Porcelain Pavers Hydra-pressed Slabs from a variety of manufacturers are used both on grade and on roof decks to protect roofing membranes against harsh weather and to create a level walking surface for patios and terraces when placed on a pedestal to allow drainage. The slabs are hydraulically pressed giving a dense, durable, non-slip surface. The mix is subjected to 400 tons of hydraulic pressure giving strength, density and durability comparable to natural stone. Using concrete pavers on roofs, plaza decks, and terraces has created new opportunities for otherwise lost space. Both amenity & non-amenity areas can now be functional, as well as attractive (including when viewed from higher elevations). The popularity of energy-efficient roofs, or “green” roofs, is increasing as its value is appreciated. Pedestal set paver installations allow easy access to the roof and waterproofing system for making repairs or standard maintenance.

Wood Tiles

Wood Tiles are a great compliment to the commonly used architectural concrete slabs, ideal for building rooftops, courtyards and other amenity spaces. They bring richness to an outdoor living space, whether sealed to maintain their natural hues, or left unsealed to weather to a natural grey patina. Like concrete slabs, wood tiles on pedestals provide easy access to utilities, irrigation, drains and waterproofing below. Wood tiles are lighter than concrete, made from sustainable tropical hardwoods, using species such as Ipe, Massaranduba and Cumaru (including some species available with FSC certification) – available in smooth or ribbed finishes. They possess excellent resistance to weather and are a long-lasting, low maintenance decking alternative. Many different patterns can be created mixing sizes or orientation of the wood tiles.

Unit Pavers / Interlocking Pavers Unit pavers fit together to cover a deck, patio, walkway, driveway, or anywhere you might consider placing concrete or bricks. The pavers are constructed from poured concrete, so they are durable and resilient. The manufacturers add color to give the pavers the look of natural stone, like granite or slate. Yet concrete is far less expensive than shaped stone. Unit pavers are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors. They are laid in a sand bed over a crushed rock base and can be installed for pedestrian or vehicular use. The sand stabilizes the unit pavers yet allows for some flexibility. This type of pavement will absorb stress they will not crack or buckle like concrete.

The AWS Joist Plate System provides an alternative to traditional deck surfacing. The joist plate rests (or can be screwed or nailed) on wood joists. It aligns the pavers perfectly, and with its snap-together component parts, it is easy to level concrete pavers/slabs, or gauged natural products.All manufactured parts are ABS, strength tested to 15,750 psi. Height is affected by varying 4” PVC units. With its system of shims, both top and bottom for perfect leveling; ability to drain water, and perfectly align the pavers, through its built-in spacer. The AWS ™ Pedestal System is the ultimate answer to both commercial and residential projects.

The AWS ™ Pedestal System is ideally suited to level your rooftop decks and elevated plazas. The AWS ™ Pedestal System is affordable and versatile. The substrate can be either concrete or wood structure with a roof membrane over the top. The system consists of 6 pieces and the 4" diameter PVC: Top Cap Bottom Cap Top Shims of 1/16" and 1/8" Round Bottom Shims of 1/16" and 1/8". AWS™ Pedestal System just got better with the Diamond Head™ Series, the two-piece top cap twists from 1/8” to 1- 1/4” inch, to virtually eliminate PVC cutting in the field. It is supported by a 6.5” new base cap for balance, and on most membranes this pedestal virtually eliminates the need for a “barrier piece” against the membrane. All shims lock with the new Diamond Head™ Series pieces to fine tune support and eliminate “rockers”. View detailed information (pdf) Appian Way Systems Site

Mechanical Installations Primarily for commercial applications – in a mechanized paver installation, specialized paver installation equipment speeds construction time by installing approximately one square yard of pavers at a time in rapid succession.

Bituminious Installations Primarily for vehicular traffic – pavers are set in a neo-asphalt adhesive over a sheet-mix asphalt bed. This application is a great alternative to mortar set installations.

Rubber Paver Installations “Rooftop Rubber Pavers and Tiles” not only provide superior noise reduction, while offering an alternative slip-resistant surfacing for rooftop patios (over roofing membranes), decks, and walkways. They are manufactured from recycled tire tread and will resist tearing, cutting and freezing, and are simple to maintain. Known as sustainable, rubber surfacing products qualify for LEED credits (made from 100% recycled rubber). These products outlast many other surfacing products, creating a durable surface for high traffic areas. The unique interlocking feature allows access to roof drains if necessary.

Permeable Installations Permeable paver installations provide environmental benefits of being able to infiltrate water to control storm water runoff through the pavement surface into the ground below. With the advent of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) mandate to control storm water runoff, the path was paved for the growth of permeable pavements. The EPA is now working to promote the use of low impact development (LID) and LEED and Smart Growth as a way to manage runoff. The EPA plans to establish ordinances to move the program in the direction of preferred design and best management practices. Infiltration practices have emerged as a major focus of these agencies, and permeable interlocking concrete paver utilize infiltration to control storm water runoffs.

Natural Stone Installations Natural Stone – whether dimensional or irregular shaped will enhance and enrich any outdoor living space. From bluestone, to granite to slate, and whether natural cleft or thermal finished, natural stone is an attractive alternative to other hardscape material choices. Natural stone can be used in a patio, a walkway, a deck set on joists, or set on pedestals over waterproofing (Note: pedestal set installations require dimensional, gauged material).

Steps & Stoops Pavers and Hydra-pressed Slabs bring a beautiful courtyard to life, or make an entry gracious. Steps can be created to complement your driveway or walkway, by cutting Hydra- pressed Slabs to measure and mortaring, or “pinning” and epoxying them at the tread and riser. Pavers can also be used in combination with segmental wall blocks to create tread/risers. Because of their superior strength and durability they will give the same endurance as your courtyard, patio or driveway and at the same time “accentuate” your entry.
