Also referred to as an arris or square, a bevelled edge is a specific angle detail found on the sides of square-edged pavers. It is typically a 5mm 45-degree angle but can vary depending on your chosen product. The bevelled edges help define the shape of the paver and the pattern as an architectural/design feature. The LeMode Paving Range includes the bevelled edge on all the pavers within this range.
