INTRODUCTION TO WALKWAY PAVER COLOURS
 |
A walkway can be defined as a footpath or pavement used to get from one area to another. Walkways can be designed using different types of pavers, shapes, patterns and colors in order to influence the effect they have on surrounds such as the house, driveway, garden or features close by.

AVAILABLE FINISHES FOR WALKWAY PAVERS
There are 4 different finishes available for stone and brick walkway pavers. These finishes include:
THERMAL: a rough finish created by applying high temperature flames to the surface of the stone. Such a finish is most suitable for walkways and pool decks because of its skid-resistant element.
POLISHED: A shiny gloss finish that is attractive to the eye because it brings out the complete color of the paver.
HONED: Unlike a polished surface, a honed finish brings out the complete color of the stone or brick without adding a shine or gloss. It has a more rustic look.
FLAMED: Involves discharging high temperature & high speed flame onto the stone surface in order to achieve a jagged and uneven shape without sharp edges. The color produced will be less intense and more toned down than the original color.
