Charcon
Andover Textured offers the
hard-wearing performance
of granite at an affordable
price. It’s ideal for prestigious
pedestrian areas and building
developments, including
town centres and shopping
precincts. It features a finely
textured surface, is available
in 12 sizes, offering a myriad
of design options, and the
breadth of shades can be used
to complement and contrast one
another to dramatic effect. An
Infilta concrete block permeable
paver is also available where
sustainable urban drainage is a
requirement.
Mike Davies, Sector Marketing
Manager for Charcon,
comments: “We are delighted
to have been able to provide
our product expertise and
knowledge to the Snowhill
Retail Park project. Charcon
is pleased to be supporting
Wakefield’s vision for the
wider Snowhill development,
with beautiful, contemporary
landscaping helping to shape a
positive experience for people
visiting the centre.”
Completed in May, Snowhill
Retail Park officially opened to
the public this summer, bringing
with it 250 local jobs. The food
anchored retail centre forms the
first phase of the wider Snowhill
development, along the A650
in Newton Bar, which received
planning permission in 2009.
