Check the team's references from similar completed projects
Avoid installation during temperatures below +5°C or heavy rainfall
Fill joints a few weeks after installation for optimal setting

Choose paving type based on traffic — pedestrian, light vehicle, or heavy vehicle

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between slabs and paving?

Slabs are large-format tiles (40x40 cm or larger), typically used for patios, pedestrian pathways, and courtyards. Paving (cobblestones or pavers) are smaller elements, laid in patterns, more suitable for parking areas and trafficked paths.

Can outdoor slabs be used indoors?

Outdoor slabs can be used indoors (hallway, entrance), but ensure they are anti-slip and not treated with toxic substances. Alternatively, specific indoor slabs with finer finishes are available.

Does the same craftsman install both paving and curbs?

Typically, the paving team also handles curb installation as part of the complete job. Curbs are installed before paving as a boundary, or after as a perimeter finish.

How much does paving installation cost in Zalău?

Concrete paving installation ranges from 60 to 120 RON/sqm in Zalău, including labor and laying materials (sand, gravel). The cost of the paving material itself is added separately.

Which paving types are most durable?

Granite and andesite paving are the most durable, lasting decades under heavy traffic and weather changes. Vibro-compressed concrete paving is the most popular value-for-money option. Travertine is aesthetic but requires more maintenance.

How thick should the sand layer under paving be?

The sand or sand-cement layer under paving should be 3-5 cm thick, laid over a compacted gravel base of at least 10-15 cm. A well-executed foundation prevents paving failure and unevenness.
