Brand Information

Established in 2004, Natural Paving Products (UK) Ltd identified a gap in the market for high quality, ethically sourced natural stone to the domestic hardscape market. Taking an early lead in this field the company quickly began supplying to builders merchants and contractors UK wide.

Natural Paving’s commitment to excellent quality and customer service has led to Natural Paving’s current ranking as the number one independent supplier of natural stone to both the UK and North America’s hardscape industry.

Entering the North American market in 2014, Natural Paving USA has found an overwhelming demand for calibrated, natural stone products for discerning architects, contractors and homeowners seeking a gorgeous, ageless product that greatly enhances their outdoor living environment.

Underpinning Natural Paving’s success has been its pro-action and dedication to responsible and ethical trading as well as significant product development and the increase in partnerships with global sources. Operating as true market innovators, Natural Paving has been the first supplier to bring a number of products into the hardscape market, including 50mm natural stone block paving and complementing natural stone curbs and edging, suitable for the driveway market.

Natural Paving adheres to the Construction Product Regulations (CPR) and all products also comply with ASTM standards for dimensional stone.

Setting Natural Paving aside from its competition is the fact that it offers an end to end service, having heavily invested in their supply chain, managing a number of global quarries, processing plants, distribution centers to:

• Ensure that all products are ethically sourced
• Manage the importation, supply and quality of all their products

Constantly developing their professional operations; in 2014, they received the following certifications:

• ISO 9001 - Standard for Quality Management
• ISO 14001 - Standard for Environmental Management
• OHSAS 18001 - Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management

Material Information

Porcelain / Vitrified Characteristics:

Porcelain and vitrified products are manufactured from naturally occurring aggregates, cement and binders, all of which are subject to color and texture variation. Variation may occur between batches of the same stone, although this type of material is relatively consistent in tone. As a general rule, the coergaes shown are those attained once a jointing allowance has been made. The product images shown are as accurate as photographic processes allow and may appear differently in accordance with lighting conditions and screen calibration in addition to the natural variation occurring between batches. Images may not be a true representation of a particular product size or laying pattern. Descriptions provided offer a combination of the manufacturer's and our own opinion of the product's features.

Porcelain / Vitrified Description:

Porcelain and vitrified paving is a manmade paving material, constructed from naturally occurring clay materials and compressed under high pressure to offer an extremely hard-wearing and low-maintenance paving product suited to both indoor and outdoor applications. Its exceptionally low water absorbency means it attracts very little residue or algae. Vitrified products are lightly textured to improve slip resistance and the dimensions are more accurate than those seen with natural stone paving.

Porcelain and Vitrified Colors:

The colours of this material are uniform with a subtle, evenly distributed variation to give the appearance of a natural stone material. Many of the products offer the same colour palette as its natural stone equivalent without the irregular characteristics found in the natural stone paving material making it especially suited to clean, contemporary design schemes.
