COLOUR VARIATION
Anston Paving Stones are the only pavers created from natural materials. This gives them a life and natural beauty not possible in pavers that are pigment coloured. As a result pavers may vary in colour, even within the same batch.
This subtle variation in colour between the pavers is sought after and adds a natural effect in the landscape. Subtle changes in nature are normal and add to the overall beauty of the landscape. Sand, which is the base material for Anston Pavers,
also varies even within one truckload.
ARE THE PAVERS POROUS?
The pavers are wet poured concrete, which is
vibrated to produce high strength characteristics. The shot blasted process, which gives the pavers a distinctive individual look, gives the appearance
that they are porous. This is not the case. They have the same porosity as any wet poured concrete. |

* The Concrete Masonry Association of Australia recommend 5KN for pedestrian and 7KN for vehicular traffic. Anston Pavers that are 70mm thick have been tested at 30KN, which is suitable for commercial vehicles.
+ This is the highest possible classification.
PAVER THICKNESS
There are four categories of thickness;
1. Standard Pavers are 46 mm + or – 1 mm
2. Bullnose Coping is 50 mm
3. Square Edge Coping is 50, 70 or 75mm
4. Large Format Pavers are 75 or 100mm
PAVER REINFORCEMENT
Larger pavers, as described below, are reinforced to improve strength and handling safety characteristics;
- Pavers and square edge coping that is larger than 750 x 750mm.
- Bullnose and square edge coping over 600mm in length.
- Large format pavers.
MORTAR GAP BETWEEN PAVERS
Anston Pavers have a taper of 2.5mm per side. It is recommended that the pavers be spaced 2mm apart at the base. This will give a visible mortar gap of 7mm.
