This is the time of year to let us help you endure the season with our 100% recycled and recyclable AHS Paving Grid. It is perfect for high traffic areas and pathways, and for agricultural applications for heavy machinery. Slip resistance testing is a complex and varied area however the two main tests for domestic paving are either the pendulum test (PTV) or the ramp test (R rating). With the pendulum test, a pendulum is swung over the surface of the stone which will slow it down. The rougher the surface, the more it will slow the pendulum and the higher the value (PTV). It is tested both wet and dry. The lowest permitted value for external use when wet is 36. Natural and Aesthetic: Our pine bark nuggets feature a rich, organic color palette, blending seamlessly with your garden's natural elements and adding an aesthetic touch to your landscaping projects. Provides an insulating layer, substantially reducing the effects of ground freezing and over-heating during extreme weather conditions

Step 4 - once you are on our quote system, simply complete the form on the right hand and send over your requestWe recommend that all our mulches are laid at a depth of between 50 - 100mm to obtain the best results. Allowing 10% for settlement. The 25-45 mm grade is highly decorative and provides a good middle ground between the uniformity of the 15-25mm and the larger, long lasting particle range of the 45+ grade. Our Bark Nuggets should be handled using good working and hygienic practices. Store in a cool dry place, preferably covered and protected away from chemicals and pesticides. Other products can still be split down for you, but cannot be calculated online. For these, follow the on-screen prompts. In summary: The flexural strength is important as it ensures the paving is not overly brittle which would cause difficulties when handling and laying. Compression Limits (BS EN 1926

As well as being 100% recycled, our AHS Paving Grid is a durable, permeable, alternative surface for paving, walkways, car parks, cycle routes, verge stabilisation, private driveways, emergency access routes and even landing strips. Frost resistance testing is called the Freeze/ Thaw test and is conducted by repeatedly freezing the paving to -40 Fahrenheit and then thawing it, before repeating the cycle again. During this process the paving will lose some of its flexibility and the key to good quality paving is that it does not lose a high level of resilience during the test cycle. Losses in Mpa should not exceed 5 Mpa

The reduced dust and white wood enhance the products appearance and also maximises the lifespan of this decorative bark. Our products are delivered in convenient bulk bags being able to fit 750litresor 1 cubic metre depending on the product. Fire resistant characteristics, confirmed by testing in accordance with BS 4790:1987, make Bark Nuggets particularly useful in areas of potential fire risk, e.g. car parks, vehicle fuel filling stations, adjacent to offices and pedestrian walk ways, housing estates etc

Due to the fines being removed during the manufacturing process, and only the chunkiest of nuggets selected this bark product has an approximately 50% extended lifespan improvement over the Pine Nuggets, and 100% lifespan improvement over spruce based barks. Over time, bark may become compacted and prevent water and nutrients from reaching plant roots. It will need digging into the soil where it can break down gradually. Insulates the soil, helping to regulate soil temperature and protect plant roots from extreme temperatures. A slightly smaller same high quality nugget is available in small bags which is also suitable for play areas, please see our Deluxe Pine Play Nuggets 45Step 4 -Once you are on our quote system, simply complete the form on the right hand side and send over your request. The water absorption test measures the amount of water a stone can hold when fully saturated. This is expressed as a percentage of the total weight. So, a result of 1% means that when fully saturated, 1% of a stone’s weight will be water. As a guide, paving such as porcelain is usually less than 0.5% porosity, granite is around 0.5%, sandstone and limestone are in the region of 1-3% and concrete, 6% Please Note: Due to the nature of this product and the screening process, oversized pieces of wood may occur. However, these can easily be removed at the time of installation.
