Hi guys

Is there any problems with heat expansion /contraction if the pavers are a really tight fit with the concreted edges, I was just thinking about laminate wood etc and wondered if this was a potential problem with the pavers?

Cheers

No issues with heat, moisture etc. The reason you get that problem with wood is that it swells and contracts.

If it is so tight that you have to really hit it to get it in you risk chipping the surface and or breaking the block.
