The trade association Interpave has re-launched its Commercial paving and hard landscape website providing the definitive information resource on all aspects of the paved environment for landscapers, landscape designers, planners, engineers and contractors.
The re-designed Interpave website now consolidates the extensive information available and highlights topical issues. These include master-planning and creating attractive spaces between buildings with the same care that designers apply to the buildings themselves. There is a complete section covering all aspects of sustainability and how precast concrete paving and kerbing satisfies them, ranging from Green Guide A+ and A ratings to the benefits of a locally based industry.
Interpave’s website is referred to in the government’s own guidelines because it contains essential information on sustainable drainage (SUDS) and permeable paving as a positive landscape amenity, as well as meeting new legislation. All these issues are illustrated with project case studies and Interpave’s digital magazine e:Pave with the latest updates. In addition to background information to help the widest possible audience, www.paving.org.uk includes separate, detailed design and construction guidance documents for permeable and impermeable concrete block paving, and flag and kerb products.

A separate Domestic Paving website, also accessed via www.paving.org.uk, provides inspiration and guidance for drives, patios and other hard surfaces essential to creating and enjoying a beautiful garden. It also includes guidance on how to meet new legal requirements when installing or re-surfacing driveways.
