Why Artevia™ Exposed

Artevia™ Exposed provides a permanent, monolithic construction, ensuring both structural integrity and a decorative effect without the issues associated with paving slabs or segmented hardscaping. The range offers superior durability and low maintenance, which is crucial for public and commercial areas.


The product conforms to the European standard BS EN 206:2013+A2:2021 and the complementary UK national standards BS 8500-1:2023 and BS 8500-2:2023. It is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management). It is important that particular care is taken during compaction to ensure a dense mix with consistent aggregate distribution, as excessive vibration will affect the appearance.
