Driveway and Patio Paving Products
Formpave has created a wide range of inspirational and attractive products that will transform the look and feel of paths, driveways and patios. The stunning array of paving products is available in various distinctive colours and surface finishes. Options include:
- EcoGranite Cobbles, Setts and Paving: EcoGranite is manufactured from up to 77% recycled materials and replicates the beautiful features of natural granites of Cornwall and Royal Deeside, Scotland. The cobbles, setts and paving feature a non-slip, bush hammered textured surface which exposes beautiful sparkling granite colours. EcoGranite is available in five natural colour options that will blend perfectly with any new-build or existing property.
- Chartres Modular Paving, Cobbles and Boulevard Paving: This range replicates the look of the medieval city of Chartres in France and is available under two ranges; Classic Modular Block Paving and Cobbles and Boulevard Paving. Available with a bush-hammered finish or an olden finish, the Chartres ranges of colours replicate and coordinate perfectly with more traditional building styles and materials. The Classic Modular Paving offers a stylish and attractive alternative to the standard driveway layout in five colour options. The Cobbles and Boulevard Paving gives the look of traditional old stone found in rural and heritage sites. This collection allows designers to create unique and aesthetically pleasing hard landscaped areas in three colour options.
- Royal Forest and Home Plus Rectangular Paving: The Royal Forest and Home Plus rectangular paving is a cost-effective and simple solution for creating a contemporary and modern look for driveways, paths and patios. Royal Forest is available with a 60mm depth and is suitable for driveway and car parking applications and Home Plus is a 50mm depth block suitable for domestic applications. There are eight stunning and distinctive colours available within both ranges, providing numerous design opportunities.
- Avenida Combined: Avenida Combined is ideal for driveways, patios and paths and is an olden style design in three module sizes. The three sizes enable the paving to be laid in various patterns. This paving can be used as a permeable (SUDS) solution and is available in three colours.
- Tactile Paving: Tactile paving is widely used in towns and city centres and provides a warning to visually impaired individuals at pedestrian crossings and where the footpath is flush with the road. The tactile paving range from Formpave has been developed to overcome issues relating to breakage problems often associated with larger element tactile paving.
- Small Element Paving: Suitable for commercial, industrial and domestic projects, Small Element paving can be used with Royal Forest block paving or in isolation. This range is available in eight standard colours with a bush hammered or olden finish.

Aquaflow Permeable Paving
Aquaflow is a permeable block paving system which is a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) which prevents run-off and flooding from paved areas and collects the stormwater and filters it for use at a later time. Aquaflow is available as an infiltration system which filters the water into the ground slowly and a tanked system which is used to attenuate water before releasing it or storing it. Stored or harvested water can then be used for flushing toilets, laundry and irrigation. Formpave can provide a free and comprehensive design service to suit every individual site. Aquaflow is available in four ranges including:
- Aquaflow Rectangular block paving for car parks, driveways and moderately trafficked areas
- Aquasett Combined paving for domestic driveways
- Aquaflow ML block for heavy duty applications
- Aquaslab Permeable paving for patios and paths
Aquaflow Thermapave Geothermal System
Aquaflow Thermapave Geothermal system enables householders to reduce their standard heating and electricity bills through the use of underfloor heating or via radiators. Aquaflow Thermapave uses the voided sub-base of the Aquaflow paving system to generate energy. Heat is collected from stored water collected from sustainable drainage systems and can be utilised in the home as an alternative energy source. This option can save up to 70% off annual household bills through the reuse of water and heat generation. This environmentally friendly solution reduces CO2 emissions by up to 50%, saves around 50% of water, protects against flooding and is easy to install and maintain.
Hanson Formpave prides itself on offering a wide and varied range of environmentally friendly block paving and SUDS solutions for domestic and commercial applications. The experienced and professional team can provide in-depth advice and information as well as design assistance in specifying the most appropriate product for a specific application.
