Smooth concrete block paving.
Application
For block paving applications, particularly suitable for shopping precincts, schools, superstores, public paths and street scenes, where a high volume of prams, wheelchairs and vehicles are anticipated.
Description
Paving block designed to provide maximum performance in areas where smoothness and low maintenance are priorities.
Features and benefits:
- The elderly and physically impaired may also benefit from the smooth surface finish while children love it for cycling, skateboarding and general playing. Its ‘pencil’ chamfer and narrow joint width, meanwhile, reduce maintenance levels.
- 100% renewable energy used.
- 100% water used from rainwater harvesting system.
- BREEAM rating B (A can be achieved when used with recycled sub-base).
