Product Type: Architectural Products
The challenge
Prerequisite for the contract closing was the fulfilment of a demanding requirement list of high-level material properties. The mix of aggregates and the resulting special colouring of the surface was just as important a criterion as the frost, de-icing salt, and UV resistance as well as the surface finish.
The solution
EHL, A CRH Company, supplied 3,750m² of surface-protected pavers for this project, in colors designed to realize its vivid patterns.
The excellent know-how of the EHL technicians and the partnership with its suppliers enabled the EHL AG to make a “spot-landing” by meeting the high expectations of the landscape planners.
