Firth Designer Series pavers created for easy installation and a high-end outdoor transformation

The basic function of residential pavements, such as driveways, paths and patios, is to provide safe, easy access onto or around a property. However, Firth’s new Designer Series premium paving range offers more than access – its larger format and lighter colours reflect the global trend in residential paving, adding style and visual appeal to outdoor areas.

This new, affordably priced range will excite homeowners looking for an exceptional, high-end tile-look finish backed by tried-and-trusted Firth concrete durability. The simple, compatible paving dimensions and consistent 50mm depths allow your client to easily create expressive and unique patterns for paths, patios and other outdoor living spaces.

Improved density ensures smoother, more compact surfaces, while new spacer nibs on the sides reduce spalling and support even spacing. See the new brochure in-store or online for a full range of colours and designs. Available to order now.

  • To get the best results when paving, here are some top tips to keep in mind:
  • Ensure surface water is directed away from buildings.
  • A good sound basecourse is critical for the long term performance of paving.
  • Keep the surface of the pavers clean whilst laying.
  • Firth concrete pavers are made from locally sourced, natural materials.
    When laying more than one pallet of pavers, blend from various pallets to mitigate any colour variation that may occur.
  • All pavers require some form of edge restraint, kerb or haunching to prevent lateral movement.
  • It is best to use darker colours for driveways as tyre marks will not be as visible.
  • Consider sealing your paving to help prevent the absorption of dirt and stains.
