Marshalls as a company believe it is not necessary to seal our block paving. This is due to many factors, the reasons being amongst others that:

1. Sealants have to be applied to a surface which is clean, dry & free from dust.
2. Sealants may affect the appearance of the units and wear unevenly.

Besides one being made from clay and one from concrete there are a number of differences between the two.

As clay is a natural material the colour is inherent within it, consequently exposure to Ultra Violet light will not have an effect on the vibrancy of the colour over time.

Concrete however, is a pigmented material and over time and exposure to UV light there will be a reduction in the intensity of colour, this will not be a noticeable change due to the length of time it will take.

All our paving is slip resistant provided that the units are maintained at the required intervals to prevent them from potentially becoming slippy with a surface build up of dirt, detritus and algae for example.

Pressed Concrete paving and Natural Stone Paving are suitable to use around a swimming pool. Avoid Wet Cast units (such as Coach House and Heritage) as these will be affected by chemicals in the pool water such as chlorine for example and will suffer from surface crumbling.

Any of our pressed concrete paving flags or Natural Stone flags are suitable for use on a ramp.

Also Barfaced paving is designed specifically for this purpose as the units have slightly raised bars on the surface to provide extra grip under foot.

It is always recommended to install some type of edge restraint (kerb) especially for areas which will be subjected to movement and loading i.e. Driveways, to help restrain and contain the area.

For further information please contact the Technical Advisory team on 0330 311 1956 or click on the Live Chat button now.

Before. You need a solid edge restraint to work against.

You may use any of the kerbs within our domestic product range.

Please refer to our garden and driveway kerb and edgings page.

This depends on the actual radius. Marshalls do offer radial units within most of the kerb ranges.

Priora is not laid in the same way as conventional block paving. The sub-base, bedding course and jointing material needs to be an open graded aggregate to allow for water infiltration.

For further information please contact the Technical Advisory team on 0330 311 1956 or click on the Live Chat button now.

Any product which has “Priora” in the name are permeable – i.e. Drivesett Tegula Priora.

In most areas no, this is because you will be containing the water run-off within your property and not into the public highway. However it is always best to check with your local authority before any work starts.

Please also note that the legislation only refers to front gardens larger than 5m²
