Can Blu 80 Smooth be used on steep driveways?

Open Close

Yes. Blu 80 Smooth is designed for driveways, including sloped ones. For added stability, use a reinforced base, strong edge restraints, and interlocking patterns like herringbone to reduce paver movement.

How does Blu 80 Smooth compare to Blu 80 Slate in slip resistance?

Open Close

Blu 80 Smooth, while sleeker, can also improve traction when installed in tighter patterns such as herringbone. Blu 80 Slate’s textured surface provides more natural grip, particularly in wet weather.

Is Blu 80 Smooth ADA compliant?

Open Close

Yes. Tested to ANSI A326.3, Blu 80 Smooth meets ADA slip-resistance standards. It’s suitable for accessible driveways, walkways, and transitions between vehicular and pedestrian spaces.

What laying patterns are recommended for Blu 80 Smooth?

Open Close

Blu 80 Smooth works well in modular and linear designs. The 6.5×13 unit is also compatible with herringbone and parquet layouts, which add strength under vehicular loads.

Does Blu 80 Smooth maintain its color over time?

Open Close

Yes. With UV-stable pigments and an HD² surface, Blu 80 Smooth resists fading and helps preserve its original color long term.

How should oil stains be cleaned from Blu 80 Smooth?

Open Close

For light stains, use dish soap or a concrete-safe degreaser. For heavier stains, try Gator Clean XP or Prosoco Oil & Grease Remover before pressure washing. Always treat the stain before using high-pressure cleaning. See our Care & Maintenance guide.

Is sealing recommended for Blu 80 Smooth?

Open Close

Sealing is optional. It can enrich color and provide extra stain protection, but the pavers’ durability isn’t affected if unsealed. Wait at least one year after installation and clean thoroughly before sealing. See Care & Maintenance.

What texture options are available in the Blu collection?

Open Close

The Blu collection is available in three finishes, with HD² options offered on certain textures:

Smooth (HD² option available) – a clean, modern concrete surface with straight lines and a refined minimalist look.
Slate (HD² option available) – a subtly textured surface that adds grip and visual depth, ideal for patios and walkways.
Polished – a glossy, reflective surface that creates a sleek, upscale appearance for outdoor living spaces.

Note: HD² finishes enhance the same styles with superior strength, long-lasting durability, vibrant color blends, and ultra-detailed textures.

How much does a Blu 80 Smooth driveway cost?

Open Close

Pricing depends on driveway size, slope, and installation method. Estimate by square foot, including pavers, base layers, and labor. For an exact quote, contact a Techo-Bloc dealer or certified installer.

What type of jointing sand should be used with Blu 80 Smooth?

Open Close

Polymeric joint sand such as Flexlock G2 is recommended. For wider joints or overlays, Flexlock Ultra Sand G2 offers additional stability.

What edge restraints are required for Blu 80 Smooth installations?

Open Close

Use heavy-duty edge restraints in aluminum, steel, or reinforced plastic to keep pavers locked in place and prevent movement under vehicle traffic.

Are Blu 80 Smooth pavers permeable?

Open Close

Not in their standard installation. However, the 6.5×13 module, used on its own or combined with other Blu sizes, can be laid over an open-graded base with wider joints filled with clean stone. This design creates about 4.5% surface openings and allows high water infiltration.

What load capacity do Blu 80 Smooth pavers have?

Open Close

Blu 80 Smooth meets ASTM C936 strength standards. When installed over a proper base, they are rated for residential driveways and other light vehicular applications.

Can Blu 80 Smooth be installed over an existing concrete slab?

Open Close

Yes. Installation over concrete is possible if drainage is addressed. Use a drainage mat, pedestal system, or mortar bond to prevent water accumulation beneath the pavers.

Which Techo-Bloc pavers are best suited for driveways compared to patios or walkways?

Open Close

Blu 80 Smooth is specifically recommended for driveways and high-load areas. For patios, walkways, and poolside applications, Blu 60 Smooth or Blu 60 Slate slabs are the better option.

Sleek Contemporary Appeal

Blu 80 Smooth features a crisp, minimalist surface and clean lines that deliver a modern architectural aesthetic to any driveway or outdoor living space.

Engineered for Heavy Use

Crafted from 80 mm high-density concrete, this paver is built to withstand the demands of residential driveways and light commercial areas, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance.

Sustainable Drainage Solution

Blu 80 Smooth supports permeable installation to help manage stormwater runoff and promote sustainable, eco-friendly landscaping.

Regular vs. HD² TechnologyWhich Finish Fits Your Project?

Regular

Techo-Bloc Blu 80 HD² Smooth paver in Champlain Grey featuring high-definition texture, rich color depth, and enhanced surface density.

HD² Technology

Regular Smooth Texture

Regular Smooth offers the clean, familiar finish of traditional concrete. Our standard mix is less porous than many competitors' products, while maintaining the natural surface characteristics typical of concrete.

HD² Smooth Texture

HD² Technology creates an almost poreless surface with a dense, tight texture that absorbs far less water than Regular Smooth finish. This reduces surface wear over decades while enhancing color vibrancy, where HD² shows richer tones compared to the muted look of a standard mix.
