Marshalls Standard Pimple Paving: Sizes, Colours & Where It Works Best

Marshalls Standard Pimple Paving is a practical concrete flag range designed for busy pedestrian areas, public realm schemes and functional landscaping where durability and surface grip are important. Its distinctive raised pimple texture is designed to improve slip and skid resistance while keeping the paving robust and straightforward to specify.

What Is Pimple Paving?

Pimple paving gets its name from the raised textured pattern across the surface of the slab. Rather than being chosen purely for appearance, the finish is intended to provide extra traction underfoot, which is why this type of paving is commonly specified for access routes, public spaces, commercial landscaping and other high-footfall areas.

Available Colours

Marshalls Standard Pimple Paving is available in Natural, Buff and Red, although colour availability depends on the chosen slab size and depth.

Natural is the most widely available option across the range, while Buff and Red are available on selected specifications where a warmer or more traditional colour is required.

Sizes and Depths

One of the main strengths of Standard Pimple Paving is the number of size and depth combinations available. Plan sizes range from 300 x 300mm up to 900 x 600mm, with depths from 38mm to 70mm depending on the slab.

Common options include 600 x 600mm, 600 x 450mm, 600 x 300mm, 450 x 450mm and larger 900 x 600mm flags. This makes the range flexible for both larger open areas and more detailed pedestrian layouts.

Where Is Standard Pimple Paving Best Used?

The range is particularly suited to busy pedestrian zones, access routes, public realm schemes, commercial developments, paths and functional landscaped areas. Selected specifications may also be suitable for light-traffic applications where the paving build-up and installation design are appropriate.

It is a strong option where practicality matters more than a decorative premium finish, especially on projects that require a durable concrete flag with added surface texture.

Standards and Specification

Marshalls states that Standard Pimple Paving complies with BS EN 1339:2003. Its brochure guidance also references BS 7533-102:2025 for installation.

Because there are many size, depth and colour combinations, it is important to confirm the exact specification before ordering.

Why Do We Supply It by Quotation?

Availability, pack details and pricing can vary significantly depending on the slab size, depth, colour, quantity and delivery location. We therefore supply Marshalls Standard Pimple Paving on a quotation-only basis rather than using one fixed online selling price.
