Our aim is to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date
information on all aspects of paving for the widest possible
audience. The Interpave section will tell you more about
our work as a trade association, our members and other partner
organisations.
This website is organised to help you find the right type
and level of detail of information for your particular needs.
There is a special Domestic Paving section for homeowners
and contractors, concentrating on drives, patios, paths and
other paving around the home. The Topical Issues section
will be of interest to a particularly wide variety of professional
disciplines and the press, offering guidance in downloadable
brochure form on matters of particular importance today.
Of major interest to all those involved with commercial
projects, Interpave’s Design and Construction Information
Documents - or DACIs - combine to provide the definitive,
authoritative information resource on precast concrete paving.
Block Paving, Permeable Paving and SUDS, Flag Paving and
Kerbs & Channels are dealt with in separate sections
of the website. For each, separate DACIs ranging from initial
design, through construction and handling, to maintenance
- or complete DACIs covering all topics - can be downloaded
easily in PDF format.
All PDF files on this website are available for download free of charge: simply complete the registration form to enable you to download all the information you need.
