For most items, we can ship within two weeks of placing the order. In some cases, sooner.
Aspire Pavers are easy to install by the Do-It-Yourselfer. If you want a contractor to install, for rooftop applications we recommend a roofing contractor and for patio and driveways we recommend a paver or landscape contractor. Contractors can order direct by calling Aspire by Brava at 844-290-4196.
The pavers can be used around a pool area and the non-slip nature is good for that application. There is no known effect of chlorine on the pavers, however chlorine can dry white, so it is a good idea to rinse off the area after use.
Aspire Pavers can be installed near fireplaces and firepits but should not be used as the fireplace or firepit. We recommend keep the pavers at least 4’ from any open flame. Grills and fire bowls may be used when placed over a fire mat to prevent any damage from embers.
Yes. It can go directly over an existing and structurally sound deck. All rotted or warped deck boards should be replaced before installing the Aspire Paver System.
The Aspire Drain Mat is recommended but not required. Although the Aspire Grids are designed to allow water to flow underneath, including a drain sheet will enhance water flow and act as a slip sheet to protect the waterproofing membrane below.
Yes, the Aspire Installation Guide can be found in the Resources section at aspirepavers.com.
The pavers can be cut to fit around a penetration, drain, or scupper. You should leave a ½ “gap at walls and penetrations to allow for any expansion. See the Installation Guide for details.
We recommend Lexel Sealant made by Sashco. This can be purchased at big box stores or online.
Yes, they can be cut with a miter or jig saw using a low tooth count wood ripping blade.
Yes, both the pavers and grids can be easily cut with jig saw to create curves.
We for cleaning, we recommend a mild or biodegradable soap, soft brush, and a garden hose. You can pressure wash from a distance with a wide spray but avoid getting close with high pressure as it could damage the surface and expose more of the black crumb rubber.
Yes, the Aspire Paver system can be installed over any waterproofing membrane on roofs with 1/8” to ½” slopes. To protect the membrane and to enhance drainage, we recommend installing the Aspire Drain Mat between the waterproofing membrane and the Aspire Grids.
Composite pavers can heat up like regular pavers and the temperature is largely driven by color. The darker the color, the hotter the surface. Conversely, the lighter the color, the cooler the surface.
Pedestal systems are used on a low slope roof to make the surface perfectly level. It is a good system, but it is heavy, expensive, and takes a trained crew to install. Due to the extra weight, not all roofs are rated for this type of system. Our paver system is much simpler. First put down a drain mat, then grids, then pavers. The system follows the contour of the roof, so it is best on roofs with 1/2” slope or less. Most low slope roofs are 1/8” to 1/2”. The Aspire Paver system is much lighter, less complex, and can be installed using the same roofing crew. There are no special tools required, it is fast to install, and easy to remove for any roof repairs.
The pavers are made mostly from recycled tires and are very resistant to both cold and hot temperatures.
Aspire Pavers were tested by an independent test facility in Miami Florida with the following results. The Standard Assembly (pavers adhered to the Aspire Grid 16” in from the perimeter wall) passed at 100 mph (Category 2 Hurricane). The High Wind Assembly (all pavers adhered to the Aspire Grid) passed at 157 mph (Category 5 Hurricane).
The Aspire Paver System is about 1/3 the weight of traditional concrete pavers and adds less than 7 lbs. per square foot.
The depth of the base for an in-ground system depends on climate and soil conditions. For more information, see the Installation Guide or Specifications in the Resource section at aspirepavers.com.
Total height is 1.75” and with the Drain Mat is 2.0”.
Our pavers have a Compression Strength Rating of over 3500 psi.
The Aspire Paver System is loose laid on top of the roof membrane and therefore considered “overburden”. Miami-Dade will only issue Notice Of Acceptance (NOA) for adhered roof systems and since Aspire is considered overburden it is not approved or disapproved.
