Chartres™ Range

The concept of Chartres paving was inspired by the beautiful medieval city of Chartres in northern France. Chartres is manufactured with an olden finish and has been specifically designed for use in conservation areas or on projects where architectural heritage is a major consideration. Chartres classic Traditional paving faithfully reproduces the mixture of colours and maturity found in the city. It is a blend of 3 colours; golden brown, mid brown and charcoal. In addition to the Traditional colour, Chartres classic is also available in Vendage, Pennant, Purbeck and Cotswold.

Chartres Classic Combined Modular Paving

Comprises of 3 module sizes, each layer is mixed enabling the specifier to create a variety of laying patterns from strict coursing in one of more sizes to a totally random pattern.

Chartres Classic Large Modular Paving

Chartres large is available in a 60mm thickness in separate packs for use as an edging detail. It can also be laid in a herringbone format, this is the recommended patters for trafficked areas. Available in Charcoal and Traditional, other colours are available on request. For heavier loadings 80mm thickness is available to special order.

The Chartres Range also consists of Cobbles & Boulevard Paving

The colours and olden finish make the range particularly suitable for use in conservation areas or on projects where architectural heritage is important.

The Chartres Range is totally flexible and enables the specifier to produce designs tailored to individual needs, from the traditional formal coursing to a more random formation with no regular jointing.

Chartres Cobbles are 60mm or 80mm thick and are manufactured in a 100mm x 100mm module. They can be traditionally coursed or laid in more unusual patterns such as circles or flanders fans.

Chartres Boulevard Paving offers an alternative to the often repetitive use of slabs and small element paving.

EcoGranite

The Formpave EcoGranite is an environmental alternative to the use of freshly quarried granite. Formpave’s unique granite mix includes both Stent and Slag; by-produces of Cornish China Clay and the South Wales Steel Industry. The EcoGranite range contains up to 77% recycled materials.

The advantages of the Hanson Formpave EcoGranite over natural granite are price, ease of laying, consistent joint widths and a regular surface that is pedestrian friendly. The bush-hammered surface finish exposes the sparkling granite and gives excellent slip-skid resistance.

EcoGranite is available under two colour ranges: Cornish and Royal Deeside; both consist of cobbles, modular combined, long-setts and paving.

The Cornish colours are based on the natural granites of Cornwall and include Cornish Natural (a sparkling white granite with black flecks), Tintagel (a light yellow granite) and Truro (a natural and charcoal brindle granite).

The Royal Deeside colours are based on the distinctive appearance of the dazzling granites found in the Royal Deeside region of Scotland. They include Balmoral (a black granite with white flecks), Braemar (a red granite with black and white flecks), Victoria (a white and yellow brindle granite) and Lochnagar (a red and charcoal brindle granite).

Aquaflow®

Aquaflow® Permeable Paving & Stormwater Source Control System

This system is designed to control stormwater run-off and the subsequent overloading and pollution of water courses. Typical uses are in car parks, industrial estates, retail centres, pedestrian areas, motorway service areas and domestic drives.

The system has been tested for over 15 years and is covered by patent applications in Great Britain and other countries. It is the subject of Agrément Cert. 97/3373. The Formpave system does not require gullies, drainage pipes, drain runs or oil and silt traps. It can also cater for roof water. The system comprises permeable paving laid on a specialist sub-base. Permeable paving comprises the Aquaflow® permeable block paving range, Aquaflow®, Aquaflow® ML, Aquasett®, Aquaslab® and Aquapave®. All blocks and slabs incorporate tapers and drainage channels. Sub-base Water is filtered through a 5mm stone laying course, Inbitex geotextile and 350mm depth of sub-base stone. The tanked system is lined with an impermeable membrane so that the water can be released in a controlled manner or recycled. Alternatively the infiltration system is lined with a geotextile and the water infiltrated directly back into the sub-grade.
