Leading paving manufacturer Brett Landscaping has provided materials and design concepts to ensure kerb appeal at a new housing development in Sheffield.\u00a0Hull-based Ashridge Contractors turned to Brett for assistance on Keepmoat Homes\u2019 Cutler\u2019s View development to provide a durable paving solution that can withstand traffic loadings and provide good looks to complement the project.<\/p>\n
The Alpha Antique Charcoal paver from Brett Landscaping was quickly identified as the optimum choice aesthetically, but the structural requirements of the carriageway surface \u2013 which had to resist the horizontal forces exerted by passing traffic \u2013 meant that Brett needed to engineer an appropriate solution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst our Alpha block paving performs superbly when it comes to realising the attractive \u2018rustic cobble stone\u2019 look, a stronger laying technique was needed to achieve the level of structural strength required to withstand the force of moving traffic,\u201d explains Jamie Gledhill, Senior Sales Manager at Brett Landscaping.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis opened an opportunity for us to design an aesthetic triumph in carriageway paving terms, and one which has been supported with effective structural performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team from Brett advised combining their Alpha Antique block paving in Charcoal \u2013 laid using a herringbone pattern \u2013 with the new silver grey Lugano Black Fleck Kerbs. This latest 2015 addition to the Brett commercial paving range provides a granite aesthetic to create the strongest possible paving configuration for vehicular traffic.<\/p>\n
The new Lugano range provides both a light silver grey as well as a darker graphite grey granite aesthetic and is available in a comprehensive range comprising block paving, flags as well as kerbs to offer a fully integrated solution to the urban designer. Designed with sustainability in mind the Lugano paving range also scores well when it comes to recycled content which is often a critical element when designing under BREEAM.<\/p>\n
The recommendation was accepted and Ashridge\u2019s company buyer, Graham Littlefield, who has worked with Brett several times in the past, has been wholehearted impressed with finished result.\u00a0 He explains:<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the start of the project to its successful completion, we have been delighted with the input and service from Brett.\u00a0 Jamie and the team have shown to be conscientious suppliers, who\u2019ve remained involved with the task at hand, supplying on time and enabling us to keep to schedule.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have in fact been so impressed with the Brett approach and quality that we\u2019ve just requested further samples for a forthcoming site we\u2019ll be working on in Yorkshire.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
