What is the most popular interlock block type in the UAE?

The rectangular block (200×100mm), known as Holland Stone, is the most widely used interlock paving block in the UAE. It is used for roads, walkways, driveways, and industrial areas across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Al Ain, and all seven emirates. Available in 60mm (pedestrian) and 80mm (vehicular) thickness from UAE manufacturers including Bucomac, National Interlock, and Transgulf. Price: AED 18–42/m² (2026).

What is Behaton interlock and where is it used in the UAE?

Behaton is an I-shaped interlocking concrete paving block (200×165mm) that creates six-directional mechanical interlock — the strongest paving block for heavy loads. In the UAE, Behaton (80mm) is specified for KIZAD, Jebel Ali Free Zone, ICAD (Abu Dhabi Industrial City), container yards, truck facilities, and municipal roads. Price: AED 22–48/m² (2026).

What are the major interlock manufacturers in the UAE?

What is the difference between 60mm and 80mm interlock blocks?

60mm interlock is for pedestrian areas (gardens, patios, pool surrounds, light driveways). 80mm is specified for vehicular areas (car parks, loading bays, service roads). For heavy industrial (forklifts, HGVs): 80mm Behaton or Double-T. UAE specifications follow BS EN 1338 load class selection guidelines.

How much does interlock cost in the UAE in 2026?

UAE interlock supply prices 2026 (AED/m², supply only): Rectangular 60mm: AED 18–28; 80mm: AED 26–42; Behaton: AED 22–48; Uni-Shape: AED 20–32; Tegula cobblestone: AED 35–65; Quadro (400×400): AED 30–55; La Plaza/La-Linia: AED 28–50; Florendo coloured: AED 25–45; Dosex/Double-T industrial: AED 30–50. Coloured blocks cost 10–20% more than natural grey.

Can interlock be installed on sand in the UAE?

Yes. Standard UAE installation: compacted crushed aggregate base (50–75mm) + sharp sand bedding (25–40mm) + interlocking blocks + jointing sand. No mortar required. For driveways, ensure the base is well-compacted. Hot UAE temperatures mean a proper base is critical to prevent settlement.

What is Tegula interlock and why is it more expensive?

Tegula by Bucomac is a tumbled rectangular block with rounded aged edges mimicking European cobblestone (120×160mm, 160×160mm, 240×160mm). The tumbling process adds 50–150% cost premium over standard rectangular blocks — AED 35–65/m² vs AED 18–28/m². Used for luxury villa entrances, hotel lobbies, and premium outdoor dining areas in the UAE.

The Behaton block is the strongest interlocking paver in UAE for heavy-duty applications. The I-shape creates a mechanical interlock in all six directions simultaneously, giving it exceptional resistance to shifting under truck and industrial vehicle loads. Used extensively in UAE free zones, container yards, logistics hubs, large parking facilities, municipality roads, and industrial areas in Al Ain Industrial City. The Behaton is the block specified in most UAE infrastructure projects.

The Uni-Shape block is the most popular choice for UAE residential villa driveways and compound roads.

Easier to lay in gentle curves than rectangular blocks and widely stocked by all UAE suppliers. National Interlock calls this the Uni-Block — available in plain (Uni-Block) and decorative (Uni-Decor) versions. The decorative version has surface texture or chamfered edges for an upscale finish.

The tumbling process gives each block slightly softened, rounded edges that create a naturally aged, high-end appearance. Ideal for premium villa entrances, boutique hotel lobbies, outdoor dining terraces, and resort-style landscaping. Often laid in herringbone or random pattern for maximum visual impact.

Available with smooth finish or slightly textured slip-resistant surface — the textured version is recommended for pool surrounds per UAE safety standards. Increasingly popular in Abu Dhabi villa districts and Saadiyat-style developments.

Colours: Grey, Charcoal, Beige, White, Sandstone

La Plaza is the large-format interlock for modern, spacious outdoor designs. The elongated 600mm length creates clean horizontal lines that make outdoor areas look wider and more architectural. Perfect for contemporary villa pathways, entrance promenades, and commercial outdoor areas where a high-end minimal aesthetic is required. Pairs well with large-format outdoor porcelain tiles for transition areas between indoor and outdoor spaces. The National Interlock version called LA-LINIA emphasises this linear, directional aesthetic.

Specified for port facilities, container terminals, heavy truck yards, aircraft aprons, and any area that experiences maximum load cycles. Widely used in UAE free zones (Kizad, Jebel Ali, Khalifa Port area), Al Ain Industrial City, and large logistics parks. Not typically used for residential — this is a specialist industrial product.
