Your driveway is what visitors see first and, as such, should display your property’s appearance to the best effect
Parkview are specialists in Block Paved Driveway Fittings, using principally Indian Sandstone. We excavate to the correct level of foundation and consolidate the base with a membrane.
The type of block used should reflect the character of your home be it rustic or contemporary. Many features can be incorporated into your driveway fitting, including circles and octagons. Lighting not only adds beauty to your driveway but also added security.
Paving sealers are used, protecting the surface from fading due to ultraviolet light, reducing algae and lichen growth and protecting against oil stains. Maintenance is thus kept to a minimum regardless of whether the driveway is new or existing.
Drainage is also important and if necessary runoff areas or soakways will be provided.

*Durability & strength porcelain slabs are manufactured using dense clays fired at high temperature making them very hard -wearing.
*Low water absorption means better resistance to frost/thaw cycles, fewer issues with moss/lichen and less staining.
*Aesthetic versatility: Porcelain can mimic natural stone, wood or concrete, and comes in many colours and finishes so it can give high-end look.
*Slip resistance [if you choose the right finish] : Many outdor porccelain slabs are textured and meet good saftey ratings for external use.
*Low maintenance: Because of non-porous nature, it generally needs less many stones or concrete surfaces.
*In short: Porcelain driveways can look excellent, serve well over time, and require less fuss than some alternatives.
