Outdoor living has never been so desirable. The scarcity of outside space has given way to an increase in roof terraces, balconies and podiums.  

In years gone by, roofs were underutilised as a place to store ventilation equipment and other bulky plant. Now property developers are looking at their rooftops in a whole new light.  

Roof terraces provide much sought-after additional space to relax or entertain. Roof gardens offer residents valuable communal areas that can champion a community ethos. Developers can increase the value of their homes by adding desirable outside space. 

Tobermore offers many beautiful paving products that are suitable for roof terraces, roof gardens, balconies, and podium decks.
