Surface technologies

Our surface technologies

Great landscapes begin with materials that do more than meet a specification - they need to inspire, endure and contribute to a more sustainable built environment.

Enhanced protection against UV fading, weathering, and everyday wear

Patented colour technology for rich character and lasting durability

Beautifully blended colours that mirror high-end natural stone

Reduced carbon without compromising strength, durability, or appearance

Helps manage rainwater naturally and reduce surface water

SurfaceLock®

Our advanced surface technology is engineered to lock out the elements, with the added benefit of a reinforced base layer for superior strength. Using a precise combination of premium aggregates and a tightly bonded surface layer, SurfaceLock delivers enhanced protection against UV fading, weathering, and everyday wear.

SurfaceMix®

Our patented aesthetic technology is designed to deliver concrete paving with depth, character and individuality that can't be replicated. SurfaceMix carefully blends three colourways to create a distinctive, rich, multi-dimensional finish, and works in combination with SurfaceLock® technology to ensure long-lasting surface integrity and durability.

Refined three-colour blending process

Distinctive, one-of-a-kind aesthetic

Long-lasting surface integrity and durability

SurfaceBlend®

Our advanced colour-blending technology is designed to create richer, more natural tonal variation across every paver. By combining multiple shades with precision, SurfaceBlend delivers an aesthetic that closely mirrors high-end natural stone, and brings outdoor spaces to life with subtle, authentic character.

Authentic natural stone aesthetic
Enhanced tonal depth and surface realism
More sustainable than natural stone

CarbonStep®

CarbonStep® is a patent-pending/patented technology used in our block paving products. It reduces embodied carbon by lowering the cement content in the mix compared to the previous mix design, achieving a 15–20% carbon reduction while maintaining the same strength, durability and appearance. The environmental performance of CarbonStep® is independently verified through our Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

15–20% lower embodied carbon compared with the previous mix design
Same strength, durability and appearance as standard concrete products
Clear, transparent reporting of environmental performance through our Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)

Priora® permeable

Priora® permeable paving is designed to keep your outdoor space looking great, while helping manage rainwater naturally. The water drains through the surface and into the layers below, helping to reduce puddles and surface water on your driveway without the need for plastic drainage.
