The entrance to your business is an essential component of how your customers, vendors, and employees perceive you. When they arrive, they deserve a safe, well-built, and attractive entrance that inspires confidence. To establish a great entrance, gorgeous masonry materials, such as brick pavers, would be an excellent choice for a West Bloomfield Township, MI, area business.
A Strong Statement
Pavers are strong, beautiful, and durable. The way they are laid together allows for an incredibly strong surface, and there’s plenty of opportunity for creative expression because there are so many styles available. Brick pavers are timeless, classic, and they say “quality” so much more so than poured concrete or asphalt. They will make a strong statement for the integrity and quality of your business.
Very Low Maintenance
Brick pavers are one of the lowest maintenance options when it comes to a masonry surface. The thickness of brick pavers and their resistance against freeze-thaw damage ensure that the surface is always level and even. At times, there may be a broken paver, but it ends up being a very simple replacement. Brick pavers do not even require sealant, although that is an option. Other than regular sweeping and an occasional power wash, brick pavers create a truly “set it and forget it” foundation for landscape features.
Non-Slip Surfaces
You could keep every visitor and employee safe by opting for a non-slip surface that ensures surefooted passage even when wet. Some brick pavers are available that are specifically non-slip. One wonderful way to ensure that no snow or ice affects your business is by installing heating coils underneath the paver layer: Your business entrance will always be safe and welcoming, and you won’t need to use deicing salts that can etch or stain the brick pavers.
Fairly Fast Installation
Bricklaying is a time-honored tradition around the world, and continues with paver installations. Professional masons can install a brick paver feature in the fraction of the time of other masonry surfaces such as natural stone due to the uniform shape, size, and predictability of each paver. Though some brick paver patterns are more complex than others, you can bet on a faster installation for your business’ entrance compared to some other material choices.
Gorgeous Color Tones
The warm earth tones and deep reds of some brick pavers can be well-paired with any architectural style. They can bring vintage charm to an ultramodern space or honor a traditional building. A modern trend is to use colors such as charcoals, grays, and even steely blues. Another trend is to randomly blend two or three colors on site to add interest and dimension.
Permeable Paver Options
Some brick pavers are designed to be installed on a permeable base, to keep your walkways and entrance even drier. The joint spaces are slightly larger to allow surface water to seep into the ground so that you would not have to deal with puddles or runoff. Permeable pavers are suitable for both pedestrian and vehicular applications.
