Application

Suitable for expansive schemes where heavy trafficking or pedestrian use is anticipated.

Description

Concrete paving blocks incorporating shift protection on five sides.


Features and benefits:

  • A special profile on the bottom surface produces a clawing effect in the pavement bed ensuring continuous protection against pavement shifting from horizontal and vertical loads.
  • The blocks have a hard-wearing surface layer to improve strength, durability, colour retention and overall appearance.
  • The colour options offer a stylish landscape solution for any type of commercial scheme.
  • 100% renewable energy used.
  • 100% water used from rainwater harvesting system.


Consult with the latest British Standard to ensure the correct sub-base design is achieved prior to installation.
