smooth contemporary setts - Very large unit paviours with a sleek ultra-modern look, very low profile chamfers and tight joints. When the warmth and craft of individual unit paving is required but maintenence is to be kept to a minimum. Installed brick-bond in rows, offset or with 3 unit sizes; Plasmor, Tobermore, Kilseran and Wyresdale offer excellent examples of this truly modern take on block paving.
traditional 200x100mm block paving - All used brands crafted to British Standards. The only meaningful differences are the colourways and price with Wyresdale, Plasmor and Tobermore offering great ranges.
tegula paving - Tumbled-style blocks, for when the client is looking for a country cottage, cobbled street aesthetic and a long-term pristine finish isn't of absolutely paramount importance. Offering a more natural, "lived in" appearance, these blocks are best suited to period or period-style properties as a driveway choice. All manufacturers offer a version of this paving format. Large jointing gaps in each distressed or tumbled corner requires a little more maintenence than regular blocks to ensure a pristine finish - but to do so too often would be to deny the nature of their authentic aged design and intended purpose. Can be installed in patio areas (i.e. no vehicular traffic) with larger than intended resin-bound jointing compounds on a lean screed for a timeless appearance and very minimal maintenance.
shot-blasted textured blocks - Silver/grey and black smooth textured finish blocks with a distinctive look and grippy tread. Kilseran and Tobermore produce very fine examples of this unique form of modular paving.
riven natural stone paving - "Indian Stone", installed in a true random layout, random in rows or brick-bond, incorporating units from ~300x300mm to 900x600mm. Available in over a dozen colourways, sourced globally. Natural products, hand crafted edges and with no two units alike. Ideal for any patio or outdoor garden space. Installed on a full mortar bed, welded to a non-woven geotextile and jointed with with a 3:1 mortar mix or resin-bound jointing compounds.
sawn-edge natural stone paving - As above but with a machine-cut edge to allow more precise, tighter joints, but retaining the authentic look of a hand-split product.
sawn/smoothed/honed natural stone paving - When only the look, feel and warmth of natural stone paving will do and an ultra-modern, sleek finish is required. This paving is machined on all 6 sides and honed providing a smooth surface allowing for very precise, tight jointing giving the finish more akin to tiling than regular outdoor groundworks.
driveway natural stone paving - Around twice the thickness of calibrated and machined stone products, this product is suitable for driveway installation on a full 3" mortar bed welded to a woven geotextile over the usual MOT type 1 sub-base. Jointed with GftK VDW 850 plus 2-part on-site mixed epoxy compound.
external porcelain paving - Similarly to sawn and honed Indian Stone, this paving allows for very precise installation and jointing but manufactured to even greater precision. Installed with a bonding slurry painted to the reverse and applied to a full mortar bed over an MOT type 1 sub-base, this paving looks great and is easy to maintain, with an R11 anti-slip rating meaning it's safe wet or dry. Jointed with GftK VDW 815 plus 2-part jointing compound for zero grouting stains and very high durability.
hydraulic-pressed concrete flags - For driveways and patios, the standard "3x2" and "2x2" flags usually in natural colour, also available in buff and red. With a block paving border and matching kerb edgings these can provide a very modern, contemporary look that, due to inherent tight joints and large unit size, offers very low and simple maintenence.
super-smooth patio flags - Available in 450x450mm in the usual solid colours and a number of 2-tone mixes, and 600x600mm in solid colours, smooth flags provide a contemporary finish and simple maintenance.
riven-effect patio flags - Available in 450x450mm in the usual solid colours and a number of 2-tone mixes, and 600x600mm in solid colours, riven flags prove a great cost-effective option for patio paving.
