Chartres is manufactured with an olden finish and has been specifically designed for use in conservation areas or on projects where architectural heritage is a major consideration. Chartres Traditional paving faithfully reproduces the mixture of colours and maturity found in the city. It is a blend of 3 colours; golden brown, mid brown and charcoal. Olden finish Olden finish In addition to the Traditional colour, Chartres is also available in Vendage; a blend of charcoal, burnt red and autumn yellow. Chartres comprises of 3 module sizes. Each module size of block comes in a separate pack, enabling the specifier to create a variety of laying patterns from strict coursing in one or more sizes to a totally random pattern. One of the features of the product is the very attractive joint lines which can be achieved. Spacer nibs are incorporated on each block to ensure regular width joints. Chartres edging is specifically designed to provide a compatible edge restraint.
