Paving Blocks (Cabro)
Paving blocks are interlocking concrete units designed to create stable, durable, and visually attractive surfaces. Their strength and load-bearing capacity make them ideal for high-traffic areas such as driveways, parking lots, and walkways, while their aesthetic versatility suits patios, courtyards, and landscaping features. Available in a range of colors, shapes, and patterns, paving blocks can be arranged to suit both modern and traditional design styles. Their interlocking design ensures structural integrity, easy installation, and maintenance, while allowing for flexibility to adapt to ground movement without cracking—unlike poured concrete.
