At a glance
- 🧱 Materials: vibro-pressed concrete pavers, large-format slabs, kerbs/edging, steps, planters
- 🏋️ Load classes: 60–80 mm pavers for driveways; 40–60 mm for paths & patios
- 🎨 Aesthetics: smooth, textured, washed, split; chamfered or rectified edges; mono & blended colours
- 💧 Freeze–thaw resistance: designed for European climates; use correct base & drainage
- 🧰 Installation basics: graded sub-base, compacted layers, 3–5 cm screed, sand or polymer joints
- ♻️ Maintenance: weed control, occasional joint re-sanding or sealing for stain protection
Key ranges (what to look for)
- 🔷 Classic multi-format paving sets — mixed sizes for dynamic patterns and rustic or contemporary looks
- 🟩 Large-format terrace slabs — minimal joints, quick laying, ideal for patios and garden rooms
- 🪵 Feature elements — steps, edging, kerbs, planters and seating blocks to finish details consistently

Where it works best
- 🚗 Driveways & parking bays (proper base + thicker pavers)
- 🚶 Footpaths & garden paths (comfortable grades, non-slip textures)
- 🛋️ Terraces & outdoor living (large slabs, rectified edges)
- 🧱 Borders, steps, edging for beds and level changes
- 🌿 Small architecture — planters, benches, blocks that tie the scheme together
Basic installation steps
- 📐 Plan & measure the area, slopes and water run-off. Add 5–10% waste for cuts/patterns.
- 🪨 Excavate & build the sub-base (crushed stone), compact in thin layers.
- 🧵 Lay geotextile where needed to separate soil and aggregate.
- 🧱 Screed layer 3–5 cm of bedding sand (or suitable grit).
- 🔗 Lay pattern (herringbone, stretcher, random set) and cut edges.
- 🧹 Joint & compact — kiln-dried or polymeric sand; final plate compaction with mat.
- 🧴 Seal (optional) for stain resistance and colour enhancement.
Quick specs — what to specify
| Parameter | Typical choice | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Paver thickness | 60–80 mm | 60 mm for cars, 80 mm for heavier use |
| Slab thickness | 20–40 mm | terraces & foot traffic (check manufacturer) |
| Base layers | Well-graded aggregate, compacted | thickness depends on soil & loads |
| Joints | Kiln-dried or polymeric sand | stability, weed suppression |
| Patterns | Herringbone / Stretcher / Random | affects stability and visual rhythm |
Buying checklist
- ✅ Colour & texture matched to façade/fencing/planting
- ✅ Thickness & load class for driveway vs. patio use
- ✅ Edging & kerbs to retain layers and define borders
- ✅ Drainage strategy (falls, channels, gullies) to avoid standing water
- ✅ Logistics — pallet weights, access, off-load (tail-lift / HIAB) and consolidation with other materials
