AG Meets Demand With Three New Products

AG has responded to increasing customer demand with the launch of three new paving flag and block products.

Each of the new products - Tavira, Tri Stone and Plaza Quattro - are produced in the UK in AG's state of the art factories using 100% renewable energy as well as over 50% recycled, non-primary materials in the base mix and 100% recycled rainwater.

Tavira is a flagstone which uses the finest natural granite aggregates, creating an aesthetically pleasing granite style finish at an affordable price. The subtly textured finish makes them ideal for patios, pathways, balconies and other pedestrian areas.

The range is available in three distinctive colours, including a sharp silver, a rich tonal slate and a vibrant sahara. They come in two size formats – 600mm x 400mm x 40mm and 450mm x 450mm x 40mm – making them the ideal choice to complete 900mm wide pathways around housing projects and pathways.

AG has also created two new paving block products – Tri Stone and Plaza Quattro.

Tri Stone is perfect for patios, paths and driveways and can withstand domestic and light traffic. It comes in two sizes (and is also available in a convenient 3 sized mix pack) and three bold colour blends, Fiammata, Frassino and Ocra. Tri Stone's porcelain-effect, smooth finish boasts low maintenance due to its close joining which means less grouting is required and less weeds can grow through the joints.

Plaza Quattro is manufactured using the same material mix as AG's renowned Plaza Paving and has a plank-style, close-jointed finish.

Plaza Quattro is a water-etched, lightly textured granite aggregate paving block and is best suited to hard landscaping concepts in large urban schemes where style and longevity are key requirements. Plaza has also been used widely in large conservation areas to great effect.

Manufactured in one of the most modern purpose-built facilities of its kind in Europe, Plaza is created using a computer-controlled water-etching process that delivers a vibrant exposed face and a level of aesthetic detail not seen in comparable products.

Plaza Quattro comes in a range of rectangular dimensions and eight colours that can be 'mixed and matched' to create an array of patterns that blend seamlessly with any outdoor environment. Its ultra-linear formats have been designed to deliver maximum performance and versatility.

Tri Stone comes in a 50mm depth but due to AG's top mix optimisation, this benefits from the same strength as a 60mm through mix product making them durable whilst also being easier to handle.

All three of AG's latest products are manufactured with Enduur 1 advanced concrete technology.
