Paving Slab Supports
Paving or Tiles on terraces and balconies need to be installed with an allowance for movement. This will prevent cracking as a result of thermal stress. If cracks occur, water can enter and when “frozen” it can destroy the covering. This is also true of paving slabs or other types of hard walkways which are laid in cement or other mortar beds where purely surface drainage cannot be guaranteed. In these circumstances, subsequent damage can also occur to the waterproofing layer and flashings. Those risks can be avoided if the slabs are laid with open joints on alwitra paving slab supports.
