The Berding Riva Nova soft standard paving stone 33/27.5 in nuanced slate/beige is the medium format of the three-format Riva Nova soft system. Technically, it is a 7 cm thick concrete slab according to DIN EN 1339 with a facing, a slightly wavy, silky-glossy soft surface, and a textured chamfer. The nuanced slate and beige tones lend patios, seating areas, and garden paths a natural character. The stone can be laid in strips or combined in a random pattern with the 16.5/27.5 and 49.5/27.5 cm formats.
The standard paving stone is ideal for builders and homeowners planning a patio, seating area, or garden paths with a natural-looking surface. Landscaping companies, pavers, and outdoor design firms benefit from the coordinated format system. This allows for the creation of both uniform patterns and vibrant, random designs. Experienced DIYers can also lay the stone themselves, provided the substructure and bedding are prepared correctly.
Berding Beton offers Riva Nova soft as a decorative paving material for homes and gardens, and also provides the series for landscaping and garden design in public areas. The 33/27.5 cm format can be laid alone or in combination with the other two formats in the series, for example for:
The nominal dimensions of this series are cumulative. Two stones in the 16.5/27.5 format correspond in length to one standard stone in the 33/27.5 format, and three stones correspond to one stone in the 49.5/27.5 format. All formats are 27.5 cm wide and 7 cm thick. This simplifies the planning of courses and random patterns, and all formats can be laid on a common bedding. The soft surface is created through a special finishing process. It is very dense, has a silky sheen, and is pleasant to walk on. According to the manufacturer, slight color variations between and within formats are due to the production process and emphasize the natural character. Therefore, mix stones from several layers when laying. The product is supplied in layers of 0.83 m². Divide your area by 0.83, round up, and allow for a reserve for cut pieces. If the surface is intended for vehicular traffic, such as a driveway, please clarify its suitability with us beforehand.
