PAVING FOR LONGEVITY IN PUBLIC SPACES

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Designers want paving that supports the overall architectural and landscape narrative, creating a cohesive experience throughout the space.

Anston’s concrete paver range is available in 28 refined colours and 80+ sizes, providing options to suit any design style. Consistency across paving production batches ensures visual continuity at scale, which is critical for large public plazas and civic precincts where product variation can distract from the design intent.

The versatility of Anston’s standard paving range empowers designers, giving them freedom of control over paver size, colour, finish and format, allowing the exploration of multiple design concepts.

ENGINEERED FOR DEMANDING ENVIRONMENTS

Public and commercial environments are exposed to heavy foot traffic, service vehicles and the impacts of weather and time. Using low quality products risks quick pavement deterioration, putting stress on asset owners to conduct remediation or reparation works.

Anston’s concrete pavers are manufactured for longevity. They can withstand high loads and exhibit a strong resistance to abrasion and degradation in the Australian outdoors. The ageing process sees the concrete finish weather gracefully rather than deteriorating prematurely, helping them maintain their appearance and performance over decades of use.

SAFETY, COMPLIANCE AND PEACE OF MIND

Slip resistance is a critical safety and compliance issue in public spaces. The textured finish on Anston pavers achieves the highest rating for external slip resistance (P5), making them appropriate for external walkways and wet areas.

Anston’s pavers are also manufactured in compliance with the Breaking Load requirements in the Australian Standard, providing peace of mind regarding product strength, performance and longevity.

EFFICIENT TO INSTALL, EASY TO MAINTAIN

Dimensional accuracy, quality control and detailed installation guidance support the efficient deployment of Anston concrete pavers across a range of applications, including mortar-bed, sand-set, or pedestal systems. The standardised paving formats are consistent and uniform, enabling simple installation for contractors and reducing risk of program delays.

Once installed, Anston concrete pavers require minimal ongoing maintenance apart from routine cleaning. For councils, developers, and facility managers, this translates to lower long-term costs and fewer interventions over the life of the asset.

A CONSIDERED, SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

Clients increasingly expect hardscape materials to contribute to sustainability targets. Manufactured in Melbourne using locally sourced aggregates, sands and supplementary materials, Anston pavers instantly reduce the transport impacts and embodied carbon associated with imported stone alternatives. The pavers also contain a percentage of recycled waste materials, aligning with project sustainability objectives that are becoming increasingly central to public projects.

For designers and specifiers, the combination of design flexibility, reliable performance, sustainability potential and practical constructability makes Anston concrete pavers a compelling foundation for enduring public landscapes.
