Strength And Beauty In Belgard Pavers
Oldcastle manufacturing facilities have grouped together nationwide since 1999 to produce an innovative stone landscaping material called interlocking Belgard pavers. The paver has a variety of applications that enhance, add value and beauty to any landscape or outdoor space. Some applications for Belgard pavers include:
• Driveways
• Retaining Walls
• Decks and Patios
• Swimming pool patios
• Outdoor rooms
• Boxed in planting boxes
• Perimeter walls to enclose and divide outdoor spaces
• Sidewalks
• Roadways to maintain esthetic qualities and environmental or historic values
Design possibilities are possibly infinite due to the wide array of colors, shapes and stone types Belgard concrete pavers are manufactured into.
Architectural stones available are:
• Natural Pavers
Natural occurring stone meets the durability of concrete with pavers in granite, sandstone, limestone, terra cotta and old world (mixed) finishes available. Roadways and walkways never looked more stunning than when created out of Belgard natural pavers.
• Classic Pavers
Classic pavers are available in traditional brick and limestone looks
• Antiqued Pavers
Made to have the look and feel of years old cobblestone pavers; antiqued pavers give an old European flare to your landscape. Perfect for framing your rose and perennial gardens as well.
• Retaining Walls
Belgard retaining walls create stunning visual and functional barriers for separating spaces from each other and keeping them separate. Just like all Belgard concrete pavers, they are manufactured according to strict quality standards that are monitored constantly.
Research and development is a key part of Oldcastle’s manufacturing process for Belgard pavers. Thousands of hours are spent researching and improving the products they produce. Products are evaluated continuously for improvement and better performance. No product reaches the consumer without thorough performance testing.
Comprehensive testing occurs daily on products to check for:
• Climate tolerance and product reaction to changing environmental elements.
• Resistance of the product to salts and chemicals.
• Concrete mixture consistency and set up strength.
Quality control is primary with Belgard products. Customer satisfaction is very important to the product manufacturer and customer service complaints and feedback is encouraged to assist the company in the development of their products.
Belgard University is one way product consistency is maintained. Manufacturers who wish to make Belgard pavers attend the university to learn the exact techniques for production. This assures the paver will be of the same high quality whether you purchase it in the United States or Canada.
Pricing is determined by local Belgard distributers. Depending on the local area, supply and demand issues, and cost of shipping the product all will play into the Belgard price list. Consumers should research local distributers and possibly leverage the best possible price.
Belgard pavers have helped set the industry standard for concrete pavers and interlocking stone systems. They have delivered innovation and technology into the construction and home improvement industry adding unique design elements in stone that previously may not have been achievable due to geographical location or cost effectiveness when using all natural stone. The concrete paver versions add a level of durability not available with many types of natural stone (such as sandstone).Adding Belgard products to your landscape is a cost effective way to add beauty and value to a building project.
