At Premier Pavers, we’re proud to be the largest paving manufacturer in New Zealand—and there’s a very good reason for that.
We don’t just supply product—we educate, guide, and empower you to make the smartest possible decision for your home or landscape project.
Whether you’re upgrading your steps or building a dream pool area, selecting the right coping paver is critical. It’s about safety, style, durability, and long-term value.
And for those looking for a cost-effective, stylish entry point, our Italia Range Concrete Bullnose Pavers are a smart choice—if you understand what to expect.
The Italia Bullnose Range – Great Looks at a Great Price
Crafted from wet cast concrete (reconstituted stone), these pavers offer:
- A traditional rounded bullnose edge – ideal for steps and pool surrounds
- A convex surface to help shed water
- A natural stone-like finish at an affordable price
They’re a popular choice with homeowners, builders, and landscapers who want great results on a reasonable budget.
What You Should Know
As with any entry-level product, it’s important to understand the characteristics:
- ✅ Great value and timeless look
- ⚠️ Natural colour and size variation from paver to paver
- ⚠️ Winding, bowing, and slight thickness variation may occur
- ⚠️ Small air voids and edge imperfections are normal on the bullnose
- ⚠️ No warranty on this range
- ⚠️ Susceptible to chemical etching over time from your pool chemicals unless sealed every 1–2 years (pool jobs only)
🔧 These should always be laid on a full mortar bed by a qualified installer for best results.
