Looking for a deck or patio material that is low maintenance, durable and attractive? Check out AZEK pavers! AZEK interlocking pavers are made from a high performance composite material, but look like natural stone. They are also eco-friendly – made with 95% recycled material! AZEK pavers are great for patios, walkways, decks, driveways and more.<\/p>\n

We’ve used AZEK pavers on several projects — contractor and client approved! They are a nice alternative to standard composite decking material. The pavers can even be applied to stairs, so the deck and stairs match. AZEK pavers are available in a variety of color options. The way in which the pavers are installed lends itself to creating beautiful patterns and designs.<\/p>\n

While AZEK pavers appear very similar to traditional concrete pavers, continue reading to learn about their differences according to AZEK.<\/p>\n

1. Durability<\/h2>\n

AZEK pavers resist degradation over time and retain their outstanding appearance longer than that of concrete pavers.<\/p>\n

2. Scratch Resistance<\/h2>\n

Traditional concrete pavers scratch easily, whereas AZEK pavers resist scratches.<\/p>\n

3. Stain Resistance<\/h2>\n

Ketchup, oils, etc. can leave a stain on concrete pavers, but area easily wiped away on AZEK pavers; leaving no trace of a stain.<\/p>\n

4. Consistency<\/h2>\n

AZEK pavers provide a smooth clean edge compared to chipped, rough edges of a concrete paver.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”3.0.87″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

5. Weight<\/h2>\n

11 concrete pavers = 64lbs.<\/p>\n

32 AZEK pavers, 4 grids + 64lbs.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the easy of carrying up to three times the amount.<\/p>\n

6. Installation Ease<\/h2>\n

Traditional pavers require the use of a string to keep them straight and level. AZEK pavers insert easily into the specially designed grid system to ensure perfect alignment, square & consistently spaced and securely placed.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”3.0.87″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

7. Cutting & Workability<\/h2>\n

Concrete pavers require a traditional saw and aren’t very easy to cut. AZEK pavers can easily be cut with a mitre or jig saw. Even radius cuts are possible with AZEK pavers.<\/p>\n
