The Ursula Polder: A Beautiful Residential Area with White Houses and Varied Streetscape of GeoRetron Pavers
An attractive and elegant paving solution that fits perfectly into the atmospheres of the residential area.
Ursulapolder Amersfoort
The Ursulapolder is a beautiful residential area with white houses and a varied streetscape of GeoRetron pavers in different colors. An attractive and elegant paving stone that perfectly matches the identity of the residential area.
Colorfast, attractive streets
With its classic beauty, GeoRetron is a perfect addition to the typical Dutch streetscape. The Prestige version has a top layer which consists of 100% colorfast natural material with very fine fraction. This gives the stone a velvety appearance with deep color. The color collection of the series is perfectly matched and therefore perfect to combine with each other. At Ursulapolder, three colors were chosen. Oxyd red for the main street; Oxyd yellow for road patterns in the main street, for the sidewalk and for the playground; Dark brown for the parking lots. The result is a calm and authentic streetscape in the residential area.
Edging
In the attractive streets of Ursulapolder, of course, edging should not be missing. There are many different designs and sizes of concrete edging, each with its own function and indispensable for the layout of the street. Edging ensures that paving remains in alignment and does not subside. It also provides traffic control and water guidance. In the Ursula Polder, anthracite sidewalk strips are used as edging in the main streets. Where the load is smaller, such as the playground, smaller curb bands have been used. The curbs are curved and form a circle around the playground equipment. In short, for every application there is a suitable concrete curb.
