Tobermore Tetralock block paving<\/a> is an interlocking paving system which has been used successfully to transform urban spaces and heavily trafficked areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tetralock is manufactured with shift protection on five sides of the block to provide maximum stability. This innovative product incorporates interlocking nibs and a specially profiled bottom surface that claws sand beds, guaranteeing minimal movement.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore our top Tetralock projects!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Glanbia HQ, Kilkenny<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Client:<\/strong> Glanbia<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Products used:<\/strong> Tetralock Mid Grey & Silver<\/a>, Fusion Mid Grey & Silver<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Multinational nutrition group Glanbia transformed the exterior of their Kilkenny headquarters, upgrading the soft and hard landscaping to create a more functional and visually striking layout. The redesign aimed to enhance the connection between parking areas and building entrances, providing a contemporary setting that complements the building\u2019s light-coloured limestone entrance plaza.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To achieve this vision, Glanbia selected Tobermore\u2019s Tetralock<\/a> and Fusion block paving<\/a> for their blend of modern aesthetics and practical functionality. These ranges were specifically chosen for their durability and suitability for both pedestrian and vehicular access, offering sleek granite aggregate finishes.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The paving scheme incorporated a striking pattern: Tetralock in Mid Grey with Charcoal lines set against a Silver background, and a similar design using Fusion in Mid Grey with Silver accents. This integrated design ensured a seamless flow across the entire outdoor area, perfectly complementing the light tones of the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tobermore\u2019s Fusion paving, with its smooth granite aggregate finish, is ideal for contemporary projects, adding vibrancy and elegance. Similarly, Tetralock not only delivers a stylish appearance but also provides exceptional practicality with its interlocking design, making it a robust choice for high-traffic areas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

London Borough of Southwark<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Client:<\/strong> Southwark Council<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Products used:<\/strong> Tetralock Graphite, Mid Grey & Silver<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Southwark Council faced challenges maintaining the attractive paved surfaces in the busy areas of the London borough. To address this, Tobermore recommended Tetralock block paving, a cost-effective and practical solution for high-traffic areas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

David Farnham, Highways Design Quality Manager at Southwark Council, underlined the importance of high-quality streetscapes for the borough\u2019s iconic locations, including London Bridge, Bankside, commenting: \u201cPaved areas at crossings and junctions enhance the area’s appeal and contribute to traffic calming.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, Southwark relied on natural stone sett surfaces, but these proved costly and difficult to maintain. Seeking a durable and visually appealing alternative, the Council opted for Tetralock<\/a> from Tobermore.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The paving, specified in Silver, Mid Grey, and Graphite, recreates the natural finish of stone while its large 300x150x100mm format achieves a striking and effective traffic-calming design. David Farnham noted that Tetralock \u201csignificantly reduced construction costs compared to rigid stone systems while delivering excellent aesthetics and functionality.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With this innovative solution, Tobermore helped Southwark Council create durable, attractive streets that meet the expectations of residents and visitors alike.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

London Borough of Havering<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Client:<\/strong> London Borough of Havering<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Products used:<\/strong> Tetralock<\/a>, Sienna Graphite<\/a>, Pedesta Charcoal<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The London Borough of Havering redeveloped crossing zones on Farnham Road and Hildene Avenue to improve functionality and enhance aesthetics. Tobermore\u2019s block paving products, Tetralock<\/a> and Sienna<\/a>, where chosen for trafficked areas and pedestrian zones for their durability and visual appeal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel Jackson, Engineer at Havering, highlighted the objectives: \u201cWe aimed to improve pedestrian access at the Farnham Road\/Service Road junction, creating step-free access, narrowing the carriageway, and adding features like seating, bicycle parking, and a more versatile pedestrian-friendly area.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tobermore\u2019s Tetralock<\/a> was specified for its interlocking design, durability, and vibrant colour, which enhances safety by signalling crossings to drivers. Sienna and Pedesta block paving<\/a> complemented this with their granite-like finishes, smooth surfaces, and ability to create distinctive patterns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel emphasised why Tobermore was selected: \u201cTheir hard-wearing surfaces retain vibrant pigments over time, unlike many alternatives. The products were a superior option.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Completed in 2017, the project achieved a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality. Daniel concluded: \u201cI\u2019m very pleased with the result and plan to specify Tobermore products in future phases. I highly recommend them to the construction industry.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
