Chartres Modular Paving
The concept of Chartres paving was inspired by the beautiful medieval city of Chartres in northern France.
Chartres is manufactured with an olden finish and has been specifically designed for use in conservation areas or on projects where architectural heritage is a major consideration.

It is a blend of 3 colours; golden brown, mid brown and charcoal.
In addition to the Traditional colour, Chartres classic is also available in Vendage, Pennant, Purbeck and Cotswold.

are available in the same colours with an olden finish.
Standard and Bull nose kerbs are available with complementary textured finish.

strict coursing in one or more sizes to a totally random pattern.
