Concrete flag paving offers a clean, hardwearing
and aesthetically pleasing surface. Flags are produced in a
wide range of square or rectangular sizes of different thicknesses,
offering a wide choice of patterns. Concrete flag paving is
available in a wide variety of colours and textures, enabling
it to be used to delineate different functions.
Flags can be finished to produce a variety of surfaces including
textured and profiled ground, with or without chamfers. Stable
pigments are used to provide a range of permanent colours
further increasing designer choice. Flags are also manufactured
to reproduce the colour and texture of natural stone paving
in various finishes including split, sawn and tooled. They
are particularly useful for pedestrian surfaces in historic
towns and conservation areas, matching the appearance of
stone but with greatly improved stability and slip resistance,
providing a cost-effective alternative.
IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY Precast concrete flags
with special surface textures and colours help
blind and partially sighted people while providing
a predictable slip-resistant surface. Read
