Tobermore, one of the UK & Ireland\u2019s leading construction manufacturers, has rebranded its City Pave block paving as Tetralock<\/a> and added three new colours to the range.<\/p>\n

The new name reflects Tetralock\u2019s unique five-side interlock which provides exceptional stability under heavy trafficking and directional loads, as well as its suitability for applications beyond city and urban environments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere most paving interlocks on the four vertical sides, Tetralock has a special bottom profile that \u201cclaws\u201d into the bedding layer,\u201d explained Craig McBride, Product Development Manager at Tobermore. \u201cThis increases frictional resistance by 54% compared to non-profiled stones and provides superior anti-shift performance, alongside heavy-duty strength and durability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChanging its name highlights this innovative feature and broadens its appeal to clients working on a diverse range of schemes. Large attractions and amusement parks, for example, welcome thousands of visitors each day while supporting constant operational and maintenance traffic behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese environments require paving solutions that do more than perform under pressure. They need surfaces for car parks, transport hubs and public spaces that complement the overall design aesthetic, create a smooth and safe user experience, and deliver the heavy-duty strength and durability needed to withstand continuous vehicle use.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to city centres, pedestrian precincts and plazas, the product is ideally suited to high-use commercial and civic spaces such as bus stops, transport interchanges, industrial or service yards or accessible routes and streetscapes. In short, it\u2019s designed for environments that demand both visual appeal and reliable performance under frequent vehicle and pedestrian use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Blocks are 300mm x 150mm x 100mm dimension. The range comes in textured granite finishes with six long-lasting colour options, including bracken, charcoal, and natural which have been added for summer 2026. This allows designers to create contemporary laying patterns and subtle colour mixes for urban design. The narrow joints give a comfortable, wheelchair-friendly surface and a clean visual finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expanded range of colours together with the fact that Tetralock is suitable for use in Traffic Category Nine in a herringbone pattern or Category Six in a stretcher bond pattern gives architects and specifiers greater design freedom for their projects,\u201d added Craig McBride, Product Development Manager.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tetralock is produced to recognised BS EN 1338 paving standards and has an engineered surface layer with a minimum 4mm wearing layer with binder content to ensure high wear resistance and good skid resistance.<\/p>\n

The product has been subject to rigorous deformation testing and under a simulated 1m axle loads, experienced just 0.2mm of surface compared to 2.69mm with standard block. It is also manufactured to high strength standards with some lines providing \u22658000 psi \/ ~55 MPa, alongside low water absorption and freeze-thaw resistance, making them suitable for vehicle loads and long service life.<\/p>\n

Tetralock is supported by full product data, including a specification sheet<\/a>, an installation guide<\/a> which has been produced in accordance with relevant codes of practice (e.g., BS 7533 guidance for flexible pavements) and an environmental product declaration (EPD)<\/a>. Tobermore also offers installation support and advice regarding the correct sub-base, bedding sand, and compaction, all of which are critical to unlock the product\u2019s interlock performance.<\/p>\n
