A Lasting Relationship
By David Quinn
Exterior pavements - driveways, walks and patios- are often a last thought to the Home Builder and yet they are one of the first items viewed by a potential Home Buyer. As a paving stone manufacturer for more than 20 years in Southern California, Angelus Block Co., Inc. is here to help Home Builders improve that view. Home Builders looking to differentiate their projects, add value, character, curb appeal and offer a 'green' solution, should look at Angelus paving stones.
Using Angelus paving stones allows a Home Builder to extend the living space outside the walls of the home adding function and value. These outdoor spaces can easily be defined by shape, pattern, color or texture with very little added costs versus other paving methods. They can also bring continuity to a site and enhance the design of the home or development. A Tuscan designed project for example would lose its character with gray concrete but with many of the paving stone products offered by Angelus the look and ambiance of the design can be retained.
One of those products is Angelus' new Slate Stone®. Achieving the appearance of natural slate in texture and color, the Slate Stone® line can be installed at a considerable savings compared to natural stone. Available in four different sizes the Slate Stone® product can be installed in several layouts including a random look which is very popular in today's market. These new shapes add to an extensive collection of shapes and colors and expand Angelus' line of tumbled products that offer a variety of natural stone looks.
Angelus not only produces products that mimic nature they are producing 'green' or environmentally friendly products. The SF-Rima® is designed for use in a permeable paver application letting rainwater flow through the pavement and into the ground. A permeable paving stone system also increases water quality by reducing pollutants and lowering water temperature in storm-water that eventually flows into rivers and the ocean.
In addition to manufacturing the SF-Rima® permeable paving stone, Angelus' has began using recycled materials in their manufacturing process. Using recycled materials in their line of paving stones is the start as Angelus' looks at expanding its use into their block products. Angelus' even introduced their newest Paving Stone Catalog and Architectural Binder using paper with 30% post consumer waste and are recyclable.
By creating durable and long lasting products Angelus continues to be a leader in Southern California. Many of the first pavers manufactured by Angelus' are still in use today which is why Angelus Paving Stones is introducing their new tagline "A lasting relationship in every step". Further affirming their commitment in the paving stone market, Angelus' newest paving stone facility in Oxnard is scheduled to start production in 2008. This new facility will allow Angelus to better serve the Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
