8x16 Pavers: The French Pattern Bridge Piece
An 8x16 paver covers 0.89 sq ft, so 113 pieces make 100 sq ft and a pallet of 198 pieces covers 176 sq ft. Its 2:1 proportion is what makes it useful: it locks into a 45- or 90-degree herringbone, pairs with two 8x8 pieces in a basketweave, and lays in a running bond as a border around 16x16 or 16x24 fields without a single cut, because all three share the 8-inch module. Inside the French pattern it is the piece that connects the small squares to the large rectangles.
On its own we stock it in brushed black basalt, a dense, dark stone with a fine texture that reads almost charcoal when wet. It suits a dark border or a contrast band against a light travertine or limestone field, and a dark herringbone walkway. For a 2:1 piece in the lighter stones, the 12x24 gives the same proportion at a larger scale.
Not sure which size fits the project? The paver size guide compares every format from 6x12 to 36x36: square feet per piece, pieces per pallet, weight, and which size suits a pool deck, patio, walkway or driveway.
Frequently asked questions
How many 8x16 pavers are in 100 square feet?
About 113, because each piece covers 0.89 square feet. A pallet of 198 pieces covers 176 square feet.
Can 8x16 pavers be laid in herringbone?
Yes. The 2:1 length-to-width ratio is exactly what a herringbone needs, at either 45 or 90 degrees. 8x8 pieces finish the edges without cutting.
What sizes match an 8x16 paver?
8x8, 16x16 and 16x24 all share the 8-inch module, so 8x16 borders, bands and insets line up with those fields joint for joint. The four together are the French pattern set.
