Evidence Base

Category estimate

No product evidence is attached to this generic material, so nothing on this card is numerical. The guidance below is qualitative — an AI-assisted category profile — for early design discussion, not for figures.

Next step: request a current product EPD or manufacturer carbon declaration, or swap in a branded product that holds one.

What's missing (3)

•No current product EPD is recorded.
•No quantified carbon result is recorded.
•No product-specific circularity or material-health claims are recorded.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

40 years · basis not recorded

≈2 installations over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.

Design & Specification Notes

Durable concrete paving for paths and hard standing; versatile and cost-effective.

Typical Uses

•Paths & paving
•Public realm surfaces
•Permeable groundworks

Key Performance

Durable external surface with slip resistance.

Specification Actions

•Provide an EPD (EN 15804) or verified embodied carbon figure (A1–A3), and state the life-cycle stages covered.
•Use lower-cement blocks where possible
•Confirm slip rating and drainage falls

Indicative Health & Indoor Air

low Risk

Inert material. External use means no indoor air quality impact.
