What Are Colored Cabro Blocks?

Colored cabro blocks are interlocking concrete paving stones available in various colors and patterns. They’re manufactured using high-grade cement, aggregates, and color pigments that penetrate throughout the block.

Unlike painted pavers, the color in cabro blocks won’t fade or peel over time. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas that need to maintain their appearance for years.

Why Choose Colored Cabro Blocks?

Durability That Lasts

Colored cabro blocks withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions. They’re engineered to last 25+ years with minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective investment.

Easy Maintenance

Spills and stains wipe away easily. Individual damaged blocks can be replaced without disturbing the entire surface. Regular sweeping keeps them looking pristine.

Non-Slip Safety

The textured surface provides excellent grip, even when wet. This makes colored cabro blocks perfect for pool areas, driveways, and public walkways.

Eco-Friendly Choice

Permeable design allows rainwater to drain naturally, reducing runoff and preventing flooding. This sustainable option helps recharge groundwater.

Installation Guide for Colored Cabro Blocks

Site Preparation

Excavate the area to the required depth, typically 200-300mm depending on usage. Ensure proper slope for drainage.

Compact the base thoroughly using a plate compactor. This prevents settling and ensures long-term stability.

Base Layers

Add a 150mm layer of hardcore or murram. Compact well and level carefully.

Top with 50mm of sharp sand as the bedding layer. Screed smooth for even block placement.

Laying the Blocks

Start from a straight edge or corner. Place colored cabro blocks tightly together, following your chosen pattern.

Use a rubber mallet to tap blocks into place. Check levels regularly to maintain a consistent surface.

Finishing Touches

Sweep kiln-dried sand into the joints. This locks the blocks together and prevents shifting.

Compact the entire surface with a plate compactor. Add more joint sand as needed until gaps are filled.

Design Patterns and Ideas

Classic Herringbone

This traditional pattern uses two colors for a timeless look. It provides excellent interlock strength for driveways.

Basket Weave

Create texture and visual interest by alternating block orientations. Perfect for patios and courtyards.

Random Mix

Combine three or more colors in a random pattern for a natural, rustic appearance.

Border Highlights

Frame your paved area with a contrasting color border. This defines spaces and adds sophistication.

Maintenance Tips for Longevity

Regular Cleaning

Sweep colored cabro blocks weekly to remove debris. Hose down monthly to keep colors vibrant.

For stubborn stains, use a pressure washer on medium setting. Avoid harsh chemicals that may affect color.

Weed Prevention

Apply polymeric sand in joints to prevent weed growth. Alternatively, use a weed killer safe for concrete surfaces.

Joint Sand Replenishment

Top up joint sand annually, especially after heavy rains. This maintains interlock strength.
