Welcome to the Interpave website

Our aim is to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on all aspects of paving for the widest possible audience. The Interpave section will tell you more about our work as a trade association, our members and other partner organisations.

This website is organised to help you find the right type and level of detail of information for your particular needs. There is a special Domestic Paving section for homeowners and contractors, concentrating on drives, patios, paths and other paving around the home. The Topical Issues section will be of interest to a particularly wide variety of professional disciplines and the press, offering guidance in downloadable brochure form on matters of particular importance today.

Of major interest to all those involved with commercial projects, Interpave’s Design and Construction Information Documents - or DACIs - combine to provide the definitive, authoritative information resource on precast concrete paving. Block Paving, Permeable Paving and SUDS, Flag Paving and Kerbs & Channels are dealt with in separate sections of the website. For each, separate DACIs ranging from initial design, through construction and handling, to maintenance - or complete DACIs covering all topics - can be downloaded easily in PDF format.

All PDF files on this website are available for download free of charge: simply complete the registration form to enable you to download all the information you need. Download documents afresh each time you want to refer to them to ensure you have the latest versions.
