Pebia - striking pavers for arranging space around the house

The space around the house, where we relax and spend time with loved ones, should be aesthetically pleasing and functional. This is important, because once arranged the surroundings will serve us for many years. For the development of the surroundings of the house we recommend paving blocks from the Decorativo line, in particular the Fijo and Tarso products. They are characterized by minimalist design and simple lines, ideally suited to modern architecture. Fijo paving is available in three sizes and 11 color versions, allowing for a variety of arrangements. It is an excellent solution for sidewalks and driveways, as the pavers can withstand the load of larger vehicles thanks to their 8 cm thickness. Tarso paving blocks, which resemble paving slabs more, will in turn prove useful as an element of garden paths or terraces, giving the space elegance and order. Both pavers are available in four overlapping colors, making it possible to create cohesive and creative compositions. Investing in the aesthetics of the home's surroundings not only increases the value of the property, but also enhances the comfort of daily use of the space. So it's worth investing in Fijo and Tarso pavers to enjoy a beautiful and functional environment for years to come.

JONIEC® - arrange your garden with concrete blocks

Concrete elements, such as canopies and blocks, were created for the construction of fences, but their use is much broader. Depending on our ingenuity, they can serve as decorative elements of the garden or complement independent structures. ROMA Horizon® fence blocks can be used to make retaining walls that protect slopes while maintaining aesthetic qualities. KOMBO® concrete elements offer many design possibilities thanks to their various shapes and sizes. They are ideal for creating unusual architectural solutions, such as balcony railings, walls or edging. The KOMBO® system consists of three elements: SEA, TIDE and canopies, which can be combined to create unique compositions. Concrete blocks can also separate outbuilding spaces, such as garbage cans, sheds and gazebos, providing an aesthetically pleasing and consistent look to the surroundings. The blocks can also be used as gazebos and flower pots. All these solutions allow you to create a unique backyard space that is not only functional, but also pleases the eye with its appearance.

Cemex - durable and aesthetic paving around homes

Leading trends in the design of spaces around residential buildings are concern for aesthetics and durability of paving. Cemex offers two types of pavements that respond to these challenges. PERVIA paths are modern water-permeable pavements, created as cement-aggregate mixtures, with high mechanical strength and excellent frost resistance. Used for paths, bicycle paths and pavements for cars up to 3.5 tons, they are characterized by porosity, which allows rainwater to quickly pass through to the ground. PERVIA pavements increase rainwater retention and protect trees from drying and overloading. Their aesthetics and ability to be colored in different shades make them an attractive choice. The second type of paving is DECO STONE, concretes with exposed aggregate, which are distinguished by their unique appearance, durability and functionality. DECO STONE, popular in Western countries, is gaining more and more followers in Poland. It combines functionality with an original appearance, perfectly harmonizing with modern and traditional facades. It is durable, easy to keep clean and resistant to atmospheric factors, which guarantees long-lasting aesthetics. Cemex offers pavements that, in addition to their practical functions, can decorate the surroundings of buildings and promote water retention, contributing to environmental protection.
