Basics

Rockpave is a range of contemporary natural stone and coloured recycled glass flooring and paving systems for both interior and exterior applications. It uses unique resin technology to bind specially selected natural and recycled glass pebbles, trowelled to form a seamless durable surface.

Rockpave is available throughout Australia and New Zealand through a network of skilled contractors. Contact MPS Paving Systems for installers in your area.

No. Rockpave is usually installed at similar or lower rates to paving systems such as tiles, pavers, or exposed aggregate concrete. Contact MPS for a budget estimate based on area size, colour choice, and thickness.

Yes. Most installers offer a comprehensive installation warranty based on design purpose and specification. Discuss specific warranty terms with your installer.

All Rockpave systems use the same resin but vary in aggregate type and purpose:
  • FlowStone™ – Larger 6–8 mm pebble for maximum porosity in permeable applications.
  • StoneCarpet – Smaller 4–6 mm pebble for tighter internal floor finishes.
  • SuperStone – Mixed pebble sizes for strength and dense exterior surfaces.
  • CrystalPave™ – Recycled tumbled glass, vibrant colours, can be backlit.

Yes. All Rockpave surfaces are suitable for vehicle traffic when installed to the correct depth and specification.

Yes. Rockpave is permeable when installed over a permeable base. FlowStone™ has the highest permeability rate.

Exterior surfaces: pressure wash. Interior surfaces: vacuum or steam mop. See the Rockpave Care & Maintenance Guide for full details.

No. The cured resin does not soften or re-plasticise in heat like asphalt. Suitable for hot climates.

It can feel cooler than concrete, asphalt or timber due to natural air voids. Lighter colours reflect heat effectively.

Rockpave can feel warmer than tiles or concrete in winter due to insulating air voids.

Yes—glass, crushed brick, recycled plastics, and non-corroding metals can all be used.

Aggregates are locally sourced from Australia and New Zealand under strict environmental regulations. CrystalPave uses 100% recycled glass.

Yes—materials are responsibly sourced or recycled, resins are solvent-free, installation uses minimal water and equipment, and surfaces are permeable.

Installation

Yes. Rockpave can be applied over sound, clean concrete. Cracks or movement joints must be treated appropriately before installation.

It can be applied to asphalt, provided the asphalt is stable and fully cured.

Yes, provided the pavers are stable and well compacted. Any loose or moving pavers should be corrected before installation.

Yes. It provides excellent slip resistance, UV-stable options, and remains comfortable underfoot when wet.

Yes—StoneCarpet is commonly used for internal floors including kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and commercial spaces.

Most domestic jobs take 1–2 days depending on area size, with 24–48 hours curing time.

Typical installations are 8–12 mm depending on system type and usage.

Yes. Rockpave can be laid on slopes, ramps, and gradients when installed correctly.

Substrate must be clean, dry, stable, and free of dust or loose material. Cracks or movement joints must be treated individually.

Expansion joints must remain active. They can be integrated into the design or fitted with compatible joint trims.

Installation should not be completed in rain or extreme humidity. Ideal conditions are dry weather and moderate temperatures.

Aesthetics

Rockpave uses UV-stable aggregates. Some natural stones may slightly lighten with age.

Yes—custom blends can be created using different aggregates or glass colours.

Yes—designs, borders, numbers, logos, and patterns can be installed using divider trims.

The natural finish is semi-matte. A clear sealer can be applied for a glossier finish.

Natural aggregates vary slightly in shade and shape. This is part of the Rockpave aesthetic.

Aggregates are colour-fast. Some natural stones may lighten slightly due to UV exposure.

Yes—StoneCarpet can achieve a terrazzo-like look with smaller stones and tighter blends.

Yes—different sizes and colours can be combined for contrast or design effects.

No—Rockpave provides natural slip resistance due to the texture of the aggregate.

Yes, small areas can be repaired by a Rockpave installer to match the existing surface.

Rockpave surfaces are extremely durable and can last decades with proper maintenance.
