Tobermore Kerbs & Step Risers
Tobermore’s kerb range — large and small kerbs, textured kerbs with matching radii units, and step risers — declared together per cubic metre. Kerbs are bought by the linear metre but declared by volume, so this figure has to be multiplied by the section area of the profile actually specified before it means anything on a project.
Carbon and evidence
Product Evidence
Evidence currently held for the Tobermore product record.
Recorded Carbon Result
A1–A3 GWP-total per m³ of product (EPDIE-21-65). Declared per cubic metre — do not read it against the per-m² paving figures on this shelf.
Indicator: GWP-total
Tobermore EPDIE-21-65A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

Kerbs, radii units and step risers. The declaration covers 4 products: Kerb Large; Kerb Small; Step Risers; Textured Kerb and Radii. Tobermore publish grouped declarations and surface the same PDF under several product names, so the figure belongs to this group rather than being a measurement of one size alone.
