Paving Stone
A 16-cobble recycled paver for paths, driveways and parking
Each element carries 16 molded cobbles, so a traditional-looking cobbled surface goes down 2.69 ft² at a time. Rated to 5.6 tons per ft² (Class SLW 60 per DIN 1072) and cut with ordinary tools to follow corners and curves.
Key facts
- 16 cobbles per element for fast, consistent laying
- Permeable joints drain water through the surface
- Easily adapted to corners and curves with standard tools
- Interlocking design creates a stable, self-supporting surface
- Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic

Advantages and trade-offs
Every surface is a compromise. Here is where Paving Stone performs, and where another product in the range is the better call.
Advantages
Cobbled look, a fraction of the labor
Laying 16 cobbles at once removes the slowest part of a traditional setts installation.
Real load capacity
5.6 tons per ft² covers domestic driveways, garage entrances and parking spaces.
Won't spall or crack like concrete
The recycled polymer flexes slightly and does not suffer frost spalling or efflorescence.
Cuts cleanly on site
Corners, curves and service covers are worked with standard tools.
Considerations & limitations
Strict laying instructions
hanit states that non-observance of the laying instructions voids the warranty — the ⅛” joint gaps and loose-laying step are not optional.
Expect color and dimensional variation
Differences in color and surface structure are normal, and dimensions can vary ±3% due to the material.
Storage rules
Uninstalled elements must be stored on level ground out of direct sunlight to avoid warping — worth planning for on a Texas job site.
Deeper excavation than the slabs
Driveways need 8–12” of excavation, and 20” where heavy traffic is expected.
In use
Typical applications
- Garden and property paths
- Driveways and garage entrances
- Parking spaces and courtyards
- Terraces and pool surrounds
- Estate and campus walkways
- Commercial entrances
Installation
- 01Excavate6–8” for garden paths, 8–12” for driveways and parking, 20” where heavy traffic is expected.
- 02Frost protection and baseFor vehicle areas, 8–12” of 0/32 mm angular material compacted in 4” layers, then a 4” base course of 0/18 mm aggregate.
- 03Geotextile and beddingNon-woven needle-punched geotextile with 6” overlaps, then a 2” grit bedding layer screeded smooth.
- 04Lay looseStart at the lowest corner using string lines and position elements loosely with the joining pieces to keep the ⅛” expansion joints.
- 05Compact and jointOne pass with a neoprene-faced vibrating plate, then sweep bedding grit into the joints.
- 06EdgeFinish with a border such as hanit curb stones, leaving a ⅜–¾” expansion joint.
