FIAMMA’S FLAMED FINISH PROVIDES EXTRA SURFACE DURABILITY The top mix optimisation process directs more cementitious material into the top of the flagstones (a unique blend of cement and AG’s cement replacement material).

Finer aggregates give a tighter, crisper and more robust surface layer that stands up to heavily trafficked areas in a wide range of applications.

Densely packed aggregates for a more robust surface layer

Improved durability

FIAMMA HAS A LOW TO EXTREMELY LOW POTENTIAL FOR SLIP

Laboratory testing confirms that Fiamma will withstand heavy loads for commercial areas. Vehicular traffic including forklifts, cherrypickers, ambulances and other vehicles up to 5 tonnes can be accommodated.

Fiamma’s unique finish delivers significant advantages, marrying the aesthetics of natural flamed granite with the performance of a more textured flag. Slip skid testing rates Fiamma between low and extremely low potential for slip. This outperforms town centre planning requirements to ensure public realm areas have sufficient safety on paths and walkways.
