Corobrik Pavers Withstand
Centuries of Use
The timeless, earthy look and inherent durability that has seen clay brick pavers withstand centuries of
use are some of the primary reasons the product is constantly chosen for outdoor construction.
H
owever, these are just some
of the numerous benefits of
the environmentally sustain able product.
“Because every paver is sourced
from age - old deposits, they each
exude an appealing earthy nature that
is both aesthetically pleasing while also
creating an extremely strong product,
able to withstand high levels of loading,”
explained Corobrik’s Commercial Director,
Musa Shangase. “Our extensive range of
clay brick pavers also comes in a wide
palette of colours and textures which are
invariably suited to a spectrum of tastes
and lifestyles.”
Clay pavers are renowned for their
colour integrity which comes from natural
pigmentation as opposed to an artificial
additive. They retain the original colour
without being affected by any form of
ultraviolet light, creating an unmatched
richness and warmth for any paved area.
The shape of each paver has a
natural, textured character which not
only blends into any environment with
ease, but also creates a pedestrianfriendly, non-slip surface through its
abrasive characteristics.
“The skid-resistant features of our
clay brick pavers have proven increasingly
popular with many governmental
departments selecting it for construction
in schools and hospitals,” explained
Shangase. “It provides an excellent
solution for any heavily trafficked areas
that could become wet, such as pathways
or even swimming pools.”
The installation of clay brick paving is a
relatively quick and easy process and, once
laid, the pavers can be used immediately.
This means that paving can be left until
last, taking pressure off contractors when
time is of the essence. In addition, the
natural characteristics mean that clay
brick pavers will adjust to accommodate

to the movement of any underlying earth
materials, preventing cracks.
The durability of clay pavers means
replacement is generally unnecessary,
however, if there is any damage to a
paver, they are easily replaced. It is simply
a matter of removing the damaged paver
and replacing it with a new one. They also
do not need any expensive year-on-year
upkeep procedures.
“Our popular paving options have
been designed to complement Corobrik’s
corresponding face brick ranges,” said
Shangase. “And because we are always
looking to give our consumers more,
Corobrik has invested in new, state-ofthe-art equipment which will extend
the already expansive range of pavers
we produce in 2017. This means that
customers will have an even wider range
of colours and shapes to choose from.”
