Roof Pavers

Roof pavers are basically made of two types of materials; rubber and concrete. Considered as durable tiles, these pavers range from an inch to several inches in thickness. Roof pavers often measure two feet by two feet.

Advantages of Roof Paver System:

One of the greatest advantages of a roof paver system is flexibility to replace a single paver. IF one of your paver gets damaged, it can be easily taken out and replaced without touching any other roof paver installed on your roof. In addition, roof pavers can be easily lifted to access the underlying roof surface for regular maintenance or repairs.

Concrete Pavers:

Usually, concrete pavers are placed on small pedestals. It simply means that there is enough space between the paver and the roof surface for free flow of drainage. In addition, due to added weight on the concrete roof pavers, the extent of any additional structural support required to augment the underlying roof structure can be identified and addressed immediately.
