Description
Permeable paving block available in three sizes specifically designed to create the appearance of a traditional aged pavement whilst the interlocking nib design provides enhanced permeability rates for use within Sustainable Drainage Systems.
Alpha Flow blocks come with a number of matching products including circle packs and kerbs as well as an impermeable option suitable for both hand or machine lay installation.
When tested to BS DD 229: 1996 for Surface Permeability, Alpha Flow achieved 3386 mm/h.
