Are Travertine pavers strong enough to be used as driveway pavers? If so, can they be layed over the top of an existing cracked driveway or should the existing driveway be pulled up?
The Travertine pavers are strong enough for the driveway but there are some things to consider. You can install the pavers over the existing concrete with a thin set or using sand. This will raise the driveway up about 5cm. If you decide to thin set the pavers over the existing concrete you can use a larger paver, like a 30cm by 30cm or a French Pattern. If you install them over the concrete with sand, I would only use a 30cm by 20cm paver or smaller paver. The other option would be to rip out the old concrete driveway and lay a 30cm by 30cm paver over crushed concrete bed. This would ensure that the driveway would not be raised up and cause any problems with meeting up with the sidewalk or garage. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ I want to lay Travertine and want heated floors. Will they conduct the heat if I lay them over a electric floor heating system? Yes they will conduct the heat if installed over a heated floor sys
