Granite pavers are valued for their durability, longevity, and timeless appearance, but traditional installation methods can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Coldspring’s TabStone™ granite paver system is designed to simplify the installation process while preserving the performance and aesthetics expected from natural stone.
Curious about how TabStone transforms paving projects? We have gathered answers to the most common questions to help you understand why it is a gamechanger for commercial installations.
1. What is TabStone?
TabStone is a granite paver system featuring patent-pending, pre-installed spacers on each paver. These integrated tabs help guide placement, maintain consistent joint spacing, and improve installation efficiency. Made from precision-crafted granite, TabStone is designed for exterior residential and interior or exterior commercial paving applications.
2. How is TabStone different from traditional granite pavers?
Traditional granite pavers rely on manual spacers and frequent adjustments to achieve consistent joints. TabStone incorporates pre-adhered spacers, a first for granite pavers, helping installers maintain alignment and uniform joint widths throughout installation. This approach reduces layout time and supports a more predictable installation process while retaining the durability of granite.
3. Is TabStone suitable for commercial projects?
Yes. TabStone was developed specifically for commercial hardscape applications where consistency, scale, and performance are essential. Its automated production process supports repeatability and reliable quality for larger projects. Granite’s resistance to wear, weathering, and deterioration makes TabStone well suited for high-traffic and demanding environments.
4. Can TabStone be customized?
TabStone pavers are available in American with Disabilities Act (ADA)-approved finishes, standard thicknesses of approximately 3 inches and 4 inches, and a range of granite colors that reflect natural quarry variation. Custom sizes and colors may be available with additional coordination and testing. As with all natural stone products, pavers will display a full range of natural color tones and characteristics.
5. Do the spacers remain in place after installation?
The integrated spacers are designed to assist with alignment during installation by maintaining a consistent joint width. While the tabs are expected to remain in place during installation, they are not intended to be a permanent feature of the finished paving surface. Their primary function is to support faster, more accurate placement.
