The compressive strength rating is important when deciding on stone suitable for a driveway or commercial setting where excessive weight will be applied to the paving. Paving that does not pass the required standard will not support any excessive loading.

The process of dip treating softwood involves immersing the wood in a tank or container of wood preservative. The wood is left in the solution for a period of time, typically between 10-15 minutes, to allow the preservative to fully penetrate the wood. The wood is then removed from the solution and left to dry, allowing the preservative to fully soak in. This means the exterior will be covered, but the treatment will not have penetrated deep into the wood. Aesthetic appeal: Wood is a natural and attractive material that adds warmth and character to garden features and structures.

Manufactured from high quality softwood that has been pressure treated to ensure durability, therolls will be a long lasting and very practical feature.

In summary: Further to stringent test procedures, all paving sold through Paving Superstore is ethically sourced with all manufacturers belonging to the Ethical Trading Initiative or alternative schemes. This promises that:Strict EU regulations were introduced in 2013 to ensure all paving sold in the UK meets the minimum standards set out under European standards EN1341 (flagstones), EN1342 (setts) and EN1343 (kerbs), however MOST companies selling paving online DO NOT adhere to these legal requirements as it is not heavily policed by Trading Standards. ALL paving products sold by Paving Superstore are manufactured by leading brands and DO meet these standards. All products are CE marked / UKCA / UKAS accredited. UKAS is the National Accreditation body for the United Kingdom appointed by the government to ensure products meet the high standards needed to attain certification. All products also hold a valid Declaration of Performance certificate which details the tests and results for each of the necessary criteria which guarantees you that the products we sell are fit for purpose. Water Absorption (BS EN 13755) Cost-effective: Many types of wood are an affordable option for garden features and structures, making them accessible to homeowners on a variety of budgets. Slip resistance testing is a complex and varied area however the two main tests for domestic paving are either the pendulum test (PTV) or the ramp test (R rating). With the pendulum test, a pendulum is swung over the surface of the stone which will slow it down. The rougher the surface, the more it will slow the pendulum and the higher the value (PTV). It is tested both wet and dry. The lowest permitted value for external use when wet is 36.

Versatility: Wood can be easily cut and shaped to create a wide range of garden features and structures, from simple garden beds to complex arbours and pergolas.

The ramp test (R rating) is often used for porcelain paving and this is conducted using a ramp which is gradually raised. Oil is applied to the ramp and a test person walks onto the ramp wearing boots. The measurement is taken from the point at which they slip. R11 is the rating usually applied to porcelain paving and this is equivalent to the value of 34 to 51 in the PTV test data (pendulum test value). Frost resistance testing is called the Freeze/ Thaw test and is conducted by repeatedly freezing the paving to -40 Fahrenheit and then thawing it, before repeating the cycle again. During this process the paving will lose some of its flexibility and the key to good quality paving is that it does not lose a high level of resilience during the test cycle. Losses in Mpa should not exceed 5 MpaPlease Note: You cannot return this item due to green spotting, as this is a result of the product being treated, and it will fade over time
