colour distortion and texture changes. Products have lower maintenance and

RECONSTITUTED GRANITE AGGREGATE FLAGSTONES
WITH A LIGHTLY TEXTURED FINISH
Tavira
Tavira is a beautifully crafted flagstone with
an impressive set of performance credentials.
It is a product that delivers the best of both
worlds, affordable with the highly engineered
benefits of Enduur Level 1.
This is a sophisticated, versatile product,
created as a more environmentally friendly
alternative to natural stone. Mid range or
Better (good, better and best)
The subtly textured finish makes them ideal
for patios, pathways, balconies and other
pedestrian areas.
Tavira is produced in AG’s state-of-the-art
factory, using 100% renewable energy. It
is, itself, completely recyclable. Tavira is
manufactured using the finest natural granite
aggregates. The raw materials are processed
through the wash plant at AG’s Fivemiletown
site, which facilitates enhanced product
consistency for better quality finish products.

The durable and hard-wearing surface of
Canterra® is the result of a unique seven
stage production process which involves
multiple vibrations using a state-of-the-
art hermetic press and rotating, diamond
tipped curling brushes.
Abrasion Resistant
Canterra® has been designed to create
SLATE new SILVER new a ‘naturally undulating old courtyard’
effect. This effect replicates the uneven
surface of natural stone with a randomly
Frost Resistant
undulating surface. The surface profile
varies in height between 0mm and 3mm.
Pedestrian Use
BOUND SYSTEM
AG’s preference is that installers use
open joints when laying Canterra®,
whereby >5mm joints are created and
filled with a solid jointing compound.
This is the most effective method of
laying the product to minimise the
visual impact of the variations on
the surface of the product. The solid
jointing compound enhances the overall
appearance and will also help to reduce
ongoing maintenance of the product.
UNBOUND SYSTEM
When using an unbound system AG
SAHARA recommend close jointing Canterra®.
Joints of between 2mm and 5mm should
be created when laying with fine, dry
jointing-sand used to fill the joints. This
will help to reduce the visual appearance
of allowable tolerances. The installer
should ensure jointing sands are brushed
in to completely fill the joints.

PREMIUM, SMOOTH PLANK-EFFECT PAVING
Long Stone
This new range of close-jointed
paving has been crafted using the
latest advances in mould design
techniques. It features straight
lines with a straight edge detail and
multiple lengths to create a distinctive
‘plank floor’ effect when laid. The
close-jointed finish reduces trolley
and wheel noise and also reduces
dirt and moss build-up.

permeability or structural quality of the sub-grade.
These concept drawings can be used in early feasibility
stage to indicate if permeable paving is required.
PREPARED FORMATION
The Infiltration system allows for the rapid evacuation of surface water through
the paving joints. The design allows the water to travel slowly through the
crushed stone through the filtering permeable geotextile before being released
back into the sub-grade. In a partial infiltration system a calculated volume of
water may need to be assisted away from site via a perforated drain system.

The Attenuation system also evacuates surface water rapidly via the wider
joints found in permeable paving. The water in this design is then stored,
the depth of stone layers are specifically designed to ensure the system
has capacity to accept the required volumes. The stored water is then
assisted away from site via a pre-designed drainage system. The sub-grade
is protected by an impermeable geotextile layer which prevents pollution.

Xflo
Xflo
permeable paving solutions®
Xflo
Permeable
Paving Solutions®
Xflo is a highly effective, sustainable
method of dealing with storm water control.
Increased rainfall and unchecked urban
development frequently leave conventional
storm water drainage systems unable to
cope – resulting in severe surface flooding
following periods of intense rainfall. SuDS
(sustainable drainage systems) such as
AG’s Xflo Permeable Paving Solutions® are
designed to mimic the natural movement of
storm water and replace conventional storm
water drainage systems.
Our Xflo range has been specially developed
to provide the construction market with
the drainage performance required without
compromising on aesthetics – Xflo is
available in a selection of paving finishes and
unit sizes.

TECHNICAL GUIDANCE
Designing Steps
Step details are fast becoming more important in all projects, both in terms of visual appeal
and, more importantly, safety. AG have been supplying step products for many years and
through investment continue to find new and innovative concrete solutions in this area.
When designing external step details designers need to refer to UK Building Regulations Part
M 2004 or Ireland Building Regulations TGD M 2010, Part M Access and Use which detail what
is required for compliance. Additional guidance may be taken from the Design of an accessible KEY PERFORMANCE
and inclusive built environment BS 8300:2018:

“Those involved in the design and construction of a building may be required by the relevant
building authority to provide such evidence as is necessary to establish that the requirements DESIGN
of the Building Regulations are being complied with”.
