Quanzhou, China – April 29, 2026 – Fujian Unik Mould Technology Co., Ltd., a company that has been making concrete block and paver moulds for over 15 years, said today it is expanding its hexagonal paver mould production line. The move comes as more landscape architects and city planners around the world are specifying hexagonal pavers for public squares, walkways, and permeable paving projects.
Hexagonal pavers are catching on fast. Unlike standard rectangular blocks, six-sided pavers create interesting geometric patterns that make public spaces look better. But there‘s also a practical side. When hexagonal pavers lock together, they spread weight across the whole surface more evenly than squares or rectangles can. That means less pressure on any single point and less sinking over time.
A production manager at UNIK said, “Over the last year and a half, we‘ve seen a steady climb in orders for hexagonal paver moulds, especially from customers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Landscape architects are using hexagonal patterns for everything from marina walkways to backyard garden paths. With our expanded production capacity, we can handle the extra demand without making customers wait longer for delivery.”
UNIK makes its hexagonal paver moulds from Cr12MoV and 9CrSi alloy tool steel. Each mould goes through a carburizing heat treatment, which gives it a hard surface (HRC59-62) while keeping the inside tough (HRC35-40). Here are the key numbers:
Tolerance: ±0.3mm per cavity. This ensures every paver fits properly with the ones next to it.
Surface finish: Ra 1.6 or better. Blocks release cleanly every time.
Corner radius: 3-5mm on every inside corner. This stops stress cracks from starting.
Expected lifespan: 80,000 to 100,000 cycles under normal production conditions.
The precision-machined edges on these moulds mean each hexagonal paver fits tightly against its neighbors. And because properly made hexagonal pavers don‘t need mortar for installation, you save money on materials and finish projects faster.
Several types of projects are driving the need for more hexagonal paver moulds:
Public Plazas and Walkways – City regeneration projects are using hexagonal patterns more often because they look good and hold up well. UNIK has recently shipped moulds to waterfront projects in Sri Lanka and public plaza projects in the Middle East.
Permeable Pavement Systems – Environmental rules in many countries now require parking lots and walkways to let water drain through. Hexagonal pavers with small gaps between them allow water to soak into the ground while still supporting vehicle and foot traffic.
Home and Commercial Landscaping – Garden designers are using hexagonal pavers for patios, garden paths, and pool areas. The geometric look works with both modern and traditional house styles.
Erosion Control – Hexagonal concrete blocks are used on slopes and drainage channels because their interlocking shape holds up better against moving water.
Faster Delivery with Expanded Capacity
UNIK has added more CNC machining centers and heat treatment equipment dedicated to making hexagonal paver moulds. This has cut delivery times for standard hexagonal moulds from 25 days down to 18-20 days.
The company now offers more than 30 standard hexagonal paver sizes, ranging from 150mm to 300mm across the flats. If you need a custom size or a specific pattern, just ask.
Every hexagonal paver mould from UNIK goes through several checks before it ships:
Raw material verification to make sure the steel is the right grade (Cr12MoV or 9CrSi)
In-process dimensional checks during CNC machining
Hardness testing to confirm surface (HRC59-62) and core (HRC35-40) meet specs
Final measurement of all critical dimensions
Mounting interface verification against standard test plates
Only moulds that pass every check get shipped to customers.
UNIK exports to 28 countries across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Russia. The company backs every hexagonal paver mould with a 12-month warranty, spare parts availability, refurbishment services, and remote technical support.
