The benefits of clay pavers in public spaces 

A stroll through a village square or along a shopping street will be a cherished pastime for many people, and wouldn’t be complete without the authentic charm of pavers. After all, clay paving has been used for centuries as a material to pave streets, squares, and roads.

This paver will also prove its worth as an environmentally friendly and high-quality paving for future generations. Colourfast, charming, and timeless: pavers create that unique yet cosy look and feel.

Some examples

From extraction of the clay to management of public spaces – clay paving has a low environmental impact throughout the value chain. It starts with the raw material – the clay – and  the new biodiversity that its extraction helps to create. Since the year 2000, we’ve been able to add more than 1800 hectares of new natural spaces through this process. River clay is also designated as a renewable raw material.  And what about its lifecycle and reusability?

The low environmental impact of pavers

Sooner or later, every public space will need to be dug up. Perhaps the sewers underneath will need to be replaced, or a fibre optic cable will need to be laid. The transition from natural gas to renewable heat sources will also require major adaptations to the subterranean infrastructure.

Clay paving will help to make sure that you are well prepared. Compared with other surface types, clay pavers are easy to remove and can be reused. Their unparalleled lifespan of 135 years on average also means that they are built to last.
