Alphington Retail Park in Exeter is a 23,500 sq ft development of retail warehousing and trade counter units recently constructed by Henry W Pollard & Sons. The scheme benefits from 74 shared car parking spaces and the completion of a new link road which transforms the retail park into a prominent and highly accessible area.

Designed by CAD Architects, the retail park is hoped to bring more investment to the local area. A variety of Tobermore’s world class paving and walling products have been installed on the scheme, including the incredibly popular Fusion block paving in the classic colour of Graphite. Fusion block paving is a contemporary style product with a stunning granite aggregate surface layer which produces an appearance similar to natural granite. This has helped achieve a stylish, pristine look at Alphington Retail Park.

Tobermore’s Secura Grand walling in the subtly blended tones of Slate is installed along the outer boundary of the site. Secura Grand is a mortar-free retaining walling system, suitable for any size of project. Not only does this retaining wall offering guarantee a more efficient use of land, but the dry building product promises a straight-forward installation process. In addition, Tobermore’s Secura Grand is a cost-effective solution for architects, contractors and house builders.

Tobermore’s Garden Stone walling is also featured at this site in the beautiful shades of Slate. Garden Stone is a tapered block and is faced on both sides which make it ideal for creating curved features, planters or for separating areas. This product provides the additional benefit of being mortar-free, thereby allowing a fast and simple installation process.
