At New Driveway Company we are proud to be a Tobermore Approved Paving Contractor.
Here are some of the reasons we use their excellent products in the driveways and landscaping projects we do for you:
25 Year Guarantee
Tobermore guarantee the structural integrity of all brand paving blocks, when supplied for private use for a domestic project in a lightly trafficked area, for 25 years from the date of purchase. During this period, we will replace any paving blocks which fail to meet this guarantee, provided that they were suitable for use in relation to the relevant project.
Prime Top
PrimeTop is the high performance feature which differentiates Tobermore from standard concrete paving. Tobermore’s PrimeTop is manufactured with a premium, hard-wearing surface layer which adds significant performance benefits.
Hard-wearing Surface
The PrimeTop surface layer has a dense composition of finer aggregates, hard sand and a higher percentage of cement. This hardened surface layer has enhanced strength and increased resistance to wear and tear, for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
We produce two different material mixes; the PrimeTop layer and a robust base layer formulated for optimum structural performance. Both layers are formed simultaneously, producing an inseparable bond that stands the test of time.
Aesthetic appeal & enhanced weathering
The PrimeTop surface layer contains a high concentration of pigment creating vibrant colour and exceptional UV performance, leading to enhanced weathering properties.
Tobemore PrimeTop is renowned for its superior long-term retention of colour and visual appeal.
- Excellent wear resistance
- Superior frost resistance
- Long lasting colour
- Refined over 25 years
Ef-Stop
Combatting efflorescence
Every aspect of our product’s performance is researched and optimised to provide an excellent long-lasting appearance. In respect to the challenge of efflorescence, we have invested in manufacturing technology which enables us to produce virtually efflorescence free paving.
What is efflorescence?
Efflorescence is perhaps the single biggest problem encountered with decorative concrete paving products. The cause of efflorescence is simply a chemical reaction between the cement in the concrete and rainwater causing the formation of calcium carbonate. This white, crystalline substance stains the surface and spoils the appearance of the paving.
How do we stop it?
In the Tobermore manufacturing process, we cure our products in a warm vapour atmosphere for 12 hours, which ensures that efflorescence is dramatically reduced. Moreover, the vapour curing also enhances the colour, improves the strength and cures the products much faster, allowing products to be used almost immediately.
The Ef-Stop protection includes an intense vapour curing process. Vapour penetrates to the core of the paver.
HydroPave
The solution to flooding problems is the use of more sustainable methods of storm water drainage.
What is HydroPave?
HydroPave is a permeable paving that combines the aesthetics of the Tobermore range and the environmental benefits of a permeable paving system and reduces the risk of flooding and pollution. HydroPave paving is available in the Tegula, Shannon, Sienna and Pedesta ranges.
The key components of an effective infiltration system are:
- Jointing grit
- Paving blocks
- Bedding layer
- Sub-base
