Charcon Reinforced Paving Range is Ultra Safe and Stylish

Featuring the only aesthetic reinforced paving currently available, Charcon’s new reinforced paving brochure provides local authorities and designers with a choice of options for any environment.

Steel reinforced British Standard paving, providing increasing flag strength and product integrity in case of damage, has been a key part of Charcon’s product range for some time. Recognising the need for paving reinforcement in a variety of different situations and environments, Charcon has used its experience to develop and enhance its Ultrapave Flag Paving range still further to offer a wider number of choices, including both aesthetic and functional options.

Now offering two main reinforcement options and both aesthetic and functional designs, Charcon is best placed to supply reinforced paving solutions to blend with most environments.

Developed in conjunction with local authorities and specifiers especially as a cost-effective alternative to granite in cities and town centres, Charcon’s unique textured steel-reinforced paving is the only aesthetic reinforced paving in the market. Available in Silver Grey and Dark Grey, the textured range has already been supplied to Nottingham,
Liverpool and the London Borough of Westminster.

As an alternative, Charcon also offers steel-reinforced paving in a standard pimple finish for locations where a complementary traditional or aesthetic finish is not required. With a concealed bright steel mesh reinforcement to strengthen the paving and retain the fragments in case of damage, this product is already used extensively by many London Boroughs.

Another new addition to Charcon’s range contains specially developed fibres to provide additional strength and product integrity. Charcon’s fibre reinforced range offers a much lighter reinforced paving option with enhanced strength characteristics to mitigate the effects of crack propagation from the base to the top of the flag. The fibres in the paving act to tightly hold broken segments of the flag together in the event of vehicular damage, minimising movement and potential risk of trip hazards while maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the paving.

Ideal for urban pavements, footway crossings, shopping precincts and areas subject to occasional vehicle overrun, Charcon’s Ultrapave Flag Paving range is manufactured and tested generally in accordance with BS 7263:2001 Part 1 and BS EN 1339:2003.
