Tobermore Hydropave Shannon Duo 60mm Permeable Block Paving

Tobermore Hydropave Shannon Duo 60mm is smooth permeable block paving for a contemporary driveway. The square and rectangular blocks come together in one pack, so you can vary the layout while keeping the colour and finish consistent.

Shannon Duo is a good fit for driveways where you want a clean, even-looking surface and understated joints. Choose Bracken for a warmer blend, Charcoal for a darker drive, Heather for mixed warm tones or Slate for a cooler grey finish.

Key features

• Smooth surface for a clean, contemporary finish.
• Two block sizes supplied together, with 195 of each in a full pack.
• Permeable joints allow rainwater through the paving surface as part of a correctly designed system.

Benefits

The larger blocks create a less busy pattern than traditional rectangular bricks, which works well across a wider drive. For a more weathered look with the same pack coverage, see Hydropave Tegula Duo.

Permeable driveway installation

Use a permeable sub-base, bedding layer and clean jointing aggregate specified for the driveway. The base design depends on your ground conditions and where the water can drain. Follow Tobermore’s installation guidance or ask your installer to confirm the build-up before ordering.

Ordering and delivery

Quantity 1 is one full 12.87 m² pack. A 30 m² driveway needs at least three full packs, before accounting for cuts. Allow for any additional blocks needed at edges and around drains. Bedding, jointing aggregate, sub-base and edging are supplied separately.

If you need help working out how many packs to order, contact UK Building Supplies with your driveway measurements. Browse the full Tobermore paving range.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to order the two sizes separately?

Both sizes come in every Shannon Duo pack, in the colour you select. Order by total driveway area using the 12.87 m² pack coverage.

Can I use ordinary kiln-dried sand in the joints?

Use the clean jointing aggregate specified for the Hydropave system. The joints need to stay open enough for water to pass into the bedding layer.
