The Original
Snap Edge® Paving Stone Edge Restraint

To All Specifiers:

Our industry appreciates your interest and confidence in segmental paving systems. When you specify segmental paving systems, you can rest assured you are getting one of the best paving alternatives available today. It offers superior performance and aesthetics in any application.

The interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute of North America (ICPI), has been formed to promote the use and proper installation of segmental paving systems. The ICPI recognizes the importance of pavement edge restraint and they strongly recommend that an edge restraint system be specified on every project.

Snapedge Canada Ltd. hopes to make this process easier by supplying to you a specification sheet for Snap Edge® that can be inserted into your project construction documentation. Snap Edge® is suitable for any residential, commercial, or municipal application and is readily available in North America throughout quality paver manufacturers everywhere.

Thank you for your interest in Snap Edge®
