Bradstone W ith demand for contemporary design stronger than ever, Bradstone, the garden landscaping manufacturer, is ensuring its place at the cutting edge of the market by greatly enhancing its premium paving range for 2017. With qualities like colour longevity, stain resistance and finish becoming increasingly important for the likes of local authorities and estate managers, a premium material such as porcelain is a sound choice as it will continue to look good and stand the test of time. Bradstone entered the porcelain market back in 2015 with the Mode® paving range which featured two stunning finishes, each with four attractive shades. Demand quickly exceeded expectations which led to range extensions the 18 Landscape & Urban Design following year, including a 600mm x 300mm oblong paver to offer greater design possibilities and laying patterns, and a new wood-effect porcelain paver, Madera®, to offer a premium, non-slip alternative to decking. In response to the exponential market growth, 2017 has seen Bradstone quadruple its porcelain collection. The extended range is vibrant, with a range of styles and multiple size options, and includes the most contemporary paving products you will see on the market.
