Hanson Formpave, manufacturers of specialist concrete paving products, has published its latest builders merchants brochure featuring new Formpave EcoGranite range for driveways and patios.

The extended brochure provides detailed information, drawings, photography and specifications for the company's Chartres range, Clifton range, Royal Forest range, and also the new Formpave EcoGranite range Produced specifically for builders merchants, the new brochure is available as a downloadable PDF at www.formpave.co.uk

One of the most popular ranges in this sector is the Chartres combined modular paving range designed to provide a distinguished and mature look to driveways and patios and available in five beautiful colours.

Each pack of paving contains small, medium and large module sizes with a 50mm, 60mm or 80mm depth and is available in combined or separate consignments.

This choice in module size allows the creations of a wide variety of laying patterns.

Edging and Chartres starter circles are also available to compliment the range, in the same colours and with the olden, bush hammered finish.

Building in an environmentally friendly way has become increasingly important to the construction industry and Hanson Formpave has recently launched an environmental alternative granite that allows customers to be green without compromising on quality.

The EcoGranite range, as featured in the new brochure, has the appearance, performance and benefits of 100% granite products, but with the added advantage that it has not drained reserves of the world's natural resources.

Other benefits include significant cost benefits as it is less expensive to purchase than natural granite and does not need to be laid on mortar, so ease of laying is also a key benefit.

The range consists of cobbles, setts, long-setts and paving.

The bush-hammered surface finish exposes the sparkling granite and gives excellent slip-skid resistance.

The Formpave EcoGranites are available in two colour ranges; the Cornish Range and the Royal Deeside Range.

To create a stylish yet simple rectangular block driveway, the Royal Forest Range is perfect.

Available in eight distinctive colours, the Royal Forest range is versatile enough to suit every drive and patio.

For domestic use Hanson Formpave has designed Home-plus, which offers all the advantages of the Royal Forest range, but with a 50mm depth making it ideal for driveways.

It also requires less excavation prior to laying and is cheaper, lighter and easier to lay than the deeper blocks.

The Clifton Range consists of Cobbles and Setts and is available with an olden or bush-hammered surface finish, particularly suitable for use in conservation areas or on projects where architectural heritage is important.

The new merchants brochure also includes details of Formpave's wide range of kerbs and ancillaries.

The standard kerb and step system, bull nose kerb system and forest edging are now all available with a shot-blasted finish.

Further details of all products are available in the new builders merchant brochure including sizes, ranges, colour options, finishing options, combinations, illustrations of the products and images of them in use.
