Installation Overview

Pavés de Paris’ innovative interlocking tile design allows for fast, efficient glue-down installation. Labor costs per square foot should be no higher than for normal plank installations.
Labor savings of 50% versus traditional block-by-block end-grain install are not uncommon. See full text of Installation Instructions for details.

Fast & Efficient Installation

Full-spread glue-down with Sika T55 provides a tenacious glue bond, and is quick and efficient. The interlocking tile design speeds up the process, and keeps things lined-up nicely!

Direction Matters

Care must be taken to run the rows of interlocking tiles in the same direction. Do not “zig-zag” or “snake” the rows!

Prefinished = Major Savings!

All prefinished Pavés de Paris is ready to install out-of-the-box, with multiple coats of deep-penetrating oil finish factory-applied, buffed-in and cured. No further on-site coating is required.

 

Edge Details

All Pavés de Paris colors are available in either Square-edged or Tumbled edge details.

Square-edged

Blocks are sanded smooth with square edges for a nearly seamless installation. To avoid minor seasonal gapping, environmental relative humidity must be controlled within the specified range.

See Installation Instructions for more details.

Tumbled

Blocks are literally tumbled for several days before being assembled into tiles. This gently rounds the corners and distresses the edges in a completely random manner. This effect is especially well-suited for areas with less-than-ideal control of relative humidity.
