BRETT PROVIDES PATIO PERFECTION FOR HILTON HOTELS
When Hilton Hotels wanted to create the patio for their £ 11.1m Hilton Garden Inn at Adventure Parc Snowdonia , they decided that Brett Landscaping ’ s GeoCeramica porcelain was the perfect product .
Working with Warrington designers The Environmental Partnership ( TEP ) and Manchester-based contractors HH Smith ’ s , Brett Landscaping was able to supply their GeoCeramica hybrid porcelain to achieve an efficient install coupled with a stunning finish .
Brett had previously worked with TEP on the prestigious St Fagan ’ s National History Museum in Cardiff and were called in to create the restaurant patio at the Hilton Garden Inn , which is one of the largest hotels in North Wales .
Global hotel chain Hilton Hotels has a strict process for selecting “ on brand ” products and they approved Brett Landscaping to supply 200m2 of GeoCeramica Impasto Noir to the spectacular 106-bed hotel located on the edge of a world-first inland surf lagoon .
GeoCeramica is a composite porcelain and concrete paving flag tile with a pre-bonded , cementitious , water-permeable drainage layer . As the system is supplied as a porcelain tile with a concrete backing it means it can be laid and walked on much more quickly .
It is installed as simply and flexibly as a concrete slab – laid on a sand and Type 1 sub-base - rather than a ridged installation ( having to mortar on to a concrete base ) usually associated with porcelain paving .
