The Berding Riva Nova® soft standard paving stone 16.5/27.5 in slate/beige nuances is a concrete paving stone with a silky-glossy, soft surface. With manufacturing dimensions of 164 x 274 x 70 mm, a facing, a rusticated chamfer, and spacers, it is suitable for patios, paths, and courtyards around the house. The slightly textured surface and gently wavy edges give the stones a natural character, while a special finishing process ensures a very dense and pleasantly walkable surface. Together with the two larger formats in the series, both linear and random patterns can be created.
The Riva Nova® soft standard paving stone (16.5/27.5 cm) in slate/beige nuances is designed for homeowners and builders who want to create patios, garden paths, or courtyards with a natural-looking, silky-glossy surface in a vibrant, nuanced interplay of colors. Landscaping companies and planners appreciate the series because the three formats allow for both orderly laying patterns and lively, random patterns. Experienced DIYers can also work well with the stone, provided the substructure, bedding, and edging are professionally constructed.
With its pleasantly walkable soft surface and natural appearance, the Riva Nova® soft is suitable for areas around the house that are to be designed individually and comfortably.
The defining feature of Riva Nova® soft is its three exceptional formats: The standard 16.5/27.5 cm stone, together with the 33.0/27.5 cm and 49.5/27.5 cm formats, offers a wide variety of laying patterns, from neat strips to random bond. The subtly textured surface and gently undulating edges with a chamfered edge create a natural character, while the finishing process results in a very dense, silky-glossy, and pleasantly walkable surface in a nuanced slate/beige color. According to DIN 18318, a joint width of 3–5 mm must be maintained for stone thicknesses up to 10 cm; the spacer blocks facilitate this. Plan for approximately 21.6 pieces per m² of laid area, plus waste; delivery is provided by the manufacturer on loan pallets. For trafficked areas such as driveways, the installation and suitability should be professionally planned on a case-by-case basis.
