What Are Paving Flags?

The locals of Lower Britain have long maintained that flags are "slabs," regardless of whether they are composed of concrete or natural stone. As it turns out, they were in the right all along! In accordance with British Standard BS 7533:42006, a flag is defined as a precast concrete unit employed for surfacing purposes; its length must not exceed one meter while its thickness divided by length should be greater than four.

Is Natural Slate Good For Paving?

Slate paving is an excellent choice for pathways, driveways, and patios due to its striking appearance, exceptional durability, and natural strength. While installation can be more complex compared to other paving stones, the stunning results make it well worth the effort.If you’re drawn to deeper, more dramatic hues, slate is an ideal option, offering rich, bold tones. However, if you're looking for a subtler, lighter aesthetic, limestone might be the better choice. Its consistent colouring adds a refined touch, perfect for creating a soft, natural look.

What Are Resin Driveways?

A resin driveway, otherwise known as a "stone carpet", is a modern, durable, and aesthetically appealing alternative to traditional paving materials like asphalt, concrete, or gravel. It is made by combining resin with either natural stones (such as gravel) or decorative aggregates, which are then spread over a prepared base to create a smooth, hard-wearing surface.
