“Tavira flagstones tick all the boxes – they are technically robust without compromising on aesthetics. Added to that, they have less environmental impact when compared to natural stone.”
AG have also created two new paving block products – Tri Stone and Plaza Quattro. “Tri Stone will appeal to homeowners and builders alike, created with the contemporary eye in mind.” Perfect for patios, paths and driveways the close-jointed paving block product can withstand domestic and light traffic,” Davies continues.
It comes in two sizes (and is also available in a convenient 3 sized mix pack which will please installers) and three bold colour blends, Fiammata, Frassino and Ocra. “The eye- catching porcelain-effect, smooth finished paving is not only beautiful but boasts low maintenance thanks to its close joining that means less grouting is required and less weeds/moss can grow through the joints - understandably specifiers love them.”
“Plaza Quattro comes in a range of rectangular dimensions and eight colours that can be ‘mixed and matched’ to create an array of patterns that blend seamlessly with any outdoor environment. Its ultra-linear formats have been designed to deliver maximum performance and versatility, offering limitless possibilities for architects.”
Plaza Quattro is manufactured using the same material mix as Plaza Paving, now with a plank-style, close-jointed finish. Plaza Quattro is a water-etched, lightly textured granite aggregate flagstone that is the perfect solution for designers seeking to create beautiful hard landscaping concepts in large urban schemes where style and longevity are key requirements. Plaza has also been used widely in large conservation areas to great effect.
Plaza is created using a computer-controlled water-etching process that delivers a vibrant exposed face and a level of aesthetic detail not seen in comparable products.
“AG Plaza Paving products are the perfect tool for creating innovative and inspiring hard landscaping designs. Plaza Quattro is designed to have a wide appeal for commercial schemes looking for a plank style paving as well as homeowners and housebuilders looking for a crisp modern finish,” Davies says. Plaza Quattro is the perfect product for landscaping projects as it is very hardwearing, guards against efflorescence and shading,
