a major new mixed-use development in London, overlooking the Grand Union Canal. More than 1400 m2

rett Landscaping has supplied its GeoCeramica porcelain paving for the roof terraces and public spaces of
of GeoCeramica has
been installed across the communal areas of the £151 million Greenford Quay development, with 150 m2
highly aesthetic finish to the communal roof used to provide a
terrace on the tallest tower in the scheme. Project architect HTA Design required a high-quality paving system that would complement the curated gardens across the podium courtyards and upper terraces of the development, and a system that could meet the strict specification requirements for use on tall buildings. The architect worked with the technical
team at Brett Landscaping and chose to use the GeoCeramica range of porcelain paving. The range provides the look and finish of natural stone, while containing modern paving technology suited to the demands of the project. Brett Landscaping were able to
demonstrate that not only would the Fiordi GeoCeramica system provide a finish that met the aesthetic requirements of the upper terraces of the project, but that it could meet the loading requirements and ensure its suitability for the building’s design. GeoCeramica is a hybrid porcelain and
concrete paving flag tile with a pre-bonded cementitious water permeable drainage layer. For the roof-top areas GeoCeramica
has been installed on a pedestal system. This is made possible due to the inherent dead weight of each hybrid flag tile and its individual strength characteristics. The product could meet the technical brief without compromising on the aesthetics offered. A further 1200 m2
of the GeoCeramica
Impasto and Fiordi paving was supplied to provide footpaths and private terraces on the podium landscapes. These provide a high-end finish to the communal amenity gardens at first floor level.
