Hazard Paving
Hazard Paving
Forest Pennant offers three types of hazard paving; barface, blister and corduroy. Tactile paving is a ground surface indicator aiding those who are blind or visually impaired to navigate an urban environment. Barface tactile paving provides an excellent anti-slip surface and is ideal for areas with an incline or access ramp. Corduroy tactile paving alerts the blind and visually impaired that a hazard is nearby and is most commonly used at the top and bottom of a flight of steps.

Steps & Treads
Steps & Treads
Forest Pennant steps are created to bespoke dimensions and specification requirements; cut using our profiling saws and shaped by our skilled banker masons – available as straight or radial units, in a choice of our Pennant colours and surface finishes and edge detailing. Commercial steps/treads and risers designs are becoming bolder with the inclusion of anti-slip strips, lighting recesses and even artwork, we can accommodate it all, the sky really is the limit with Pennant steps/treads and risers. An alternative to our solid steps, treads & risers can be produced separately for a cost effective solution, and all of the above applications are available in this format.

Kerbs & Edging
Kerbs & Edging
Forest Pennant kerbs are a versatile product suited to both commercial and domestic projects. With each kerb stone, set or edging piece made to order we can tailor the product to suit the application. Like our paving, all of our kerb stone products are naturally hard-wearing with non-slip properties. As they are bespoke we can also apply a textured finish for added aesthetics.
