Character with ‘old world charm’, flexible and durable. These are some of the best words used to describe the Roadstone Castlestone paving range.
The aged appearance we have mastered over time gives Castlestone paving its unique character that blends into all situations. From a period building to a modern house, Castlestone’s beauty and character enhances all. The variety of sizes and thickness, combined with the range of different colours available ensures that Castlestone can enhance any project.
From the home to the patio, the office block to the industrial estate, Castlestone is ideal for just about any situation. Typically 80mm thick paviors are suitable for commercial and roads use, while 60mm Castlestone is ideal for driveways, footpaths and patios.

While maintaining the “granite effect”, Verona provides greater flexibility in its use for most applications. Verona Flags are ideally suited for patios, courtyards and balconies, while the Verona Paving range expands into all residential and lightly trafficked areas. There is also an 80mm (240x160mm size only) thick option available for commercial applications.

Bergerac adds elegance and style to any project. Cobblesett is one of the original paviors first produced by Roadstone in Ireland.
This exciting product allows the freedom of design while recreating the timeless elegance of an authentic cobble finish. As with traditional cobble, Bergerac sizes come pre-mixed within the pallet, allowing the freedom to create your own random pattern. Using wider joints gives the final touch of authenticity. When using Bergerac, Roadstone recommend the use of our Stabilising Sand in the joints.
Its simplistic rectangular shape, with its chamfered edges, offers flexibility in any design option. From straight patterns, to herringbone designs, parquet style, to curved paths, the options are endless. Combined with a Circle Set and coloured kerb blocks, every detail is covered from residential driveways and patios to shopping centres.
Cobblesett is available in 60mm for domestic and residential applications and 80mm thick for commercial designs.
Roadstone’s range of Cobblesett concrete paviors are manufactured as a hydraulically pressed composite unit. This creates a very fine face to the pavior with good colour intensity, while keeping the strength in the back of the block. The result – a beautifully finished hard wearing decorative surface.

Castlestone and Cobblesett Circles – circular patterns made easy.
Roadstone manufactures two complete “circle” sets to complement our Castlestone and Cobblesett product ranges. They are available in 60 mm thickness and have a diameter of approximately 2 metres (3.1 m2 approximately).
Maintaining the “Old World” Castlestone look, our range of Setts are ideal for adding that extra detail.
Not just for use with Castlestone, Castlestone Setts paving can also be used to contrast with Bergerac, Allenstone or Thomond paving. In fact, the Castlestone Sett can be used with any of the Roadstone range, or even as a complete area on its own.

With the changes in our weather, and the increased density of housing, the drainage systems where we live can find it very difficult to deal with sudden and intense downpours of rain.
With this in mind, Roadstone promote the Aquaflow Permeable Paving System. Our system is designed to meet the requirements of both the home owner and local authorities who require a specific discharge rate. Aquaflow Permeable Paving with a tanked sub base, provides the ideal opportunity for Water harvesting.
What is SUDS?SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System), is the practice of controlling surface water run-off as close to its origin as possible, before it’s discharged to a watercourse or to the ground. In simple terms, minimising the water run-off and where it goes, storing the water on site for passive treatment, and controlling its discharge rate.
How does it work?Aquaflow paving blocks have small channels around the block. It is these channels that allow water to drain though the surface of the paving into a specially designed sub-base. This sub-base consists of particular components and aggregates that each performs a different task.
What type should be used?Both the Aquaflow Infiltration and Tanked System provide excellent water attenuation.
An infiltration system, allows the water to soak back into the surrounding soil. Care should be taken to ensure that the soil can sufficiently deal with “soaking” the water away.
A tanked system, does not allow the water to enter into the surrounding soil. It contains the water and then lets if flow back into the main drainage system after it has rained. This is used where there is poor soakage in the ground.

The defining quality of granite is the texture with the depth of colour that’s provided by nature.
The versatility of natural stone allows it to be used in conjunction with our range of paving products as a design feature, or as a striking statement of its own natural beauty.
The smoother surface of Limestone creates a different “appearance” than that of Granite cubes. Ideal for that border detail or to provide that statement on its own.
NoTE: As this is a natural product, it is not possible to portray accurately colours, textures and sizes. Samples should always be viewed prior to purchasing.
Natural Stone at its best, means durability without question. Roadstone has sourced its supply of granite from quality managed quarries.
Rich in colour with the natural characteristics of Limestone.

Jointing Sand
Ideal for any regular paving application. This sand is available from Roadstone in 25kg bags. Jointing Sand is available in Natural and Granite sand.
Stabilising Sand
Specifically designed for use with Urbana and Bergerac paving and any paving with wide joints. The natural organic properties of this sand offers greater protection and support against erosion.
Application
Ensure that any surfaces that the jointing sands are to be applied to, are fully dry. Brush the sand into the joints and then vibrate in if you are laying new paving. If reinstating existing sand, just brush the sand fully into the dry joints.
Joining Compounds
An alternative to traditional mortar joints typically used with natural stone paving. Roadstone Retail provides a range of easy to use, self stabilising jointing compounds. Joints from 2mm to 25mm can be easily filled and can provide more effective approach to the traditional mortar system.
Please contact our experienced staff for further advice and always follow the manufactures recommendations.
Cleaning and Sealant Agents
Protecting your finished paving is as important as maintenance. Roadstone Retail locations offer a range of easy to use cleaning and sealing agents for all paved surfaces. Cleaning agents may be required to remove any existing surface dirt. Sealants are then used to protect against dirt, grime and stains.
Please contact our experienced staff for further advice and always follow the manufactures recommendations.
Getting the appropriate jointing sand is almost as important as selecting the paving itself.
Jointing sand is used to fill the joints between the paving and to enhance the interlock between the paving bricks.
other Accessories
Roadstone doesn’t just supply paving products. Our retail locations are designed to supply all your paving and building needs. From various sub base materials and paving sands, to bags of cement and mortar, for collection or delivery.
Visit www.roadstone.ie or contact your local Roadstone Retail Outlets.
Weathering and time will almost “seal” the joints, reducing the amount of moisture reaching the sub-base.
Roadstone has developed two types of kiln dried jointing sand, to specification, to ensure that the joints are filled completely when properly applied.

Manhole covers are an essential ingredient of any paving layout as they provide vital access to underlying services and must be clearly identifiable within your garden or driveway design.
However, with recessed Manhole Covers from Roadstone, there’s no need to sacrifice anything in terms of visual appeal. This means that you can maintain the integrity of your paving patterns, textures and colour schemes.
The result is a manhole cover that will blend perfectly with the surrounding paved area and the natural environment.
From Urbana Paving to Cobblesett, all of the Roadstone Paving range can be laid within the manhole cover to provide continuity of colour, texture and pattern.
Roadstone’s selection of traditional Irish and European decorative stones are ideal for any driveway, footpath or flowerbed. Ideal for use with Core Gravel Sheets.
Here are a selection of some of the more popular ranges. Please call in to your nearest Roadstone Retail Outlet to see the full selection or visit www.roadstone.ie

Core Gravel sheets are light weight (1.8 Kg per sheet) and easy to install (1200mm x 80mm x 40mm and 30mm) and require low maintenance. Manufactured from recyclable white Polypropylene, the honeycomb cells, along with the factory fitted geotextile, allows the Core Gravel sheets to be laid on slopes up to 22.5°.
The geotextile reduces the weed growth and also prevents the stone from going underneath the sheets. The simple interlocking between sheets ensures that they stay locked together. Core Gravel sheets can be easily trimmed with a knife, jig saw or con-saw.
DRAINING AND GRAVEL STABLISIATION
From garden paths to driveways, car parks to roof top gardens, Core Gravel Sheets provide structure and drainage.
Simple drainage solutions that, while keeping the beauty and character of natural stone, reduce the rutting and maintenance.
With a compressive resistance of 100Tn when filled, Core Gravel sheets are suitable for most applications. Depending on the sub base design and requirements, Core Gravel can be used for footpaths and driveways to Porous paving solutions.
Once the panels are laid on a suitable sub- base, the select stone, between 10 mm and 18 mm approximately in size is then applied to the sheets, brushed in to fill the Honeycombs and filled 1 cm to 2 cm above the sheets. The natural weight of the stone holds the sheets in place. Ensure that suitable edge restraints are in place to hold the Core Gravel sheets and stone in-place.

CLEANING AND SEALING OF CONCRETE PAVING UNITS
All surfaces require some element of cleaning and maintenance, and paving is no different. Regular maintenance and cleaning will maintain the surface appearance and overall performance of both concrete paving and concrete paving flags.
Initial maintenanceDuring the very early life of the paving, the joints between the units should be regularly “topped up” with jointing sand. The paving should only be brushed by hand. Mechanical sweepers and sweepers with high suction forces should not be used, since there is a risk of loss of jointing sand from between the units which will cause the loss of interlock and failure of the paved surface.
Cleaning of pavementsThere are four levels of cleaning that can be carried out on a paved area:
Prior to undertaking any maintenance/cleaning, it is advisable to carry out a trial area in a small inconspicuous area to ensure there are no adverse effects on the paving.
1. General dirt should be removed by regular dry brushing.
2. Where the paving has become dull showing a loss of colour, a wet wash with a stiff bristle brush and garden hose can be adequate.
3. For more stubborn areas a power washer can be used, taking care not to remove the jointing materials (sand or mortar). The washer should be on a medium pressure setting or lower, and should NOT be aimed directly at the paving surface, but at an angle of 30° approximately.
4. Cleaning detergents can be used, some detergents are acidic and overuse can damage some paving products. It is advisable to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and rinse the areas fully. The resulting runoff should be carefully channelled to either drainage points or containers from where it can be safely disposed of.
Replace any washed out jointing sand with new dried sand (available in 25 kg bags from Roadstone) once the paving has dried.
WeedsAvoid the re-occurrence of weeds by removing them once they appear. If a weed killer is required, test in a small area prior to use. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Mosses & LichensMosses & lichens will grow on most surfaces, particularly in shaded and north facing areas. There are several treatments that will deal with these growths on the market. The use of sulphate of iron is not recommended as it will stain the paving.

EfflorescenceThis is a naturally occurring phenomenon, which occurs to a varying extent on all cement/lime based products, for which Roadstone cannot be held responsible. Efflorescence is not a manufacturing fault and in no way affects the structural integrity of concrete products.
Efflorescence, also known as lime bloom, can appear as a white deposit covering part or the entire surface. Except in very severe cases, the phenomenon disappears completely when the blocks are wet and reappears as the blocks dry out. The phenomenon is temporary, and will with time disappear as a result of normal traffic and weathering.
Efflorescence can be removed using an acidic washing agent. The area should first be thoroughly soaked with clean water and a commercial acidic washing material (available from Roadstone and most builders’ merchants) should be immediately applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
To avoid colour variation of the washed surface, equal amounts of washing agent should be applied to all areas of the pavement.
As the efflorescence dissolves, there will be some frothing (effervescence) and once this has finished the whole surface should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water, taking care to dispose of the run-off safely. In some cases, more than one treatment may be required.
oil stainsOil penetrates readily into most concrete paving, therefore any spillages should be removed promptly with an absorbent material, e.g. paper towels, cloth or granules to prevent staining.
Do NoT wipe the oil - this drives it into the concrete and spreads the spill over a larger area.
A degreaser should be applied as soon as possible to break down the oil. Washing up liquid used neat is a good starting point while a suitable degreaser is being sourced. If the stain persists, then an emulsifying degreaser should be brushed onto the affected area, and left for a period of time, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The emulsified oil should be washed away with plenty of water. (Degreasers are available from your local Roadstone outlet and hardware stores)
SealingThe use of certain sealers can prevent most stains occurring on the surface and aids cleaning. Sealants may require further applications depending on the frequency of use on the paved surface. Where the surface has been treated with a specialist prepolymer urethane sealer and stabiliser, it should be cured in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations before allowing trafficking.
Permeable Paving Maintenance (Roadstone Aquaflow)The surface blocks have a design life equivalent to standard block paving. The surface blocks require routine maintenance and the surface should be brushed at least twice a year, either with a mechanical brush, ensuring that the vacuum is switched off, or by hand. It is recommended that this should be carried out in the spring and after leaf fall in autumn.
After the brushing, the 3mm grit should be re-applied to the surface where appropriate (available from Roadstone) and brushed back into the joints.
