Application

  • Suitable for permeable paving block systems for all applications from domestic to commercial schemes.
  • Appropriate for all types of loading from pedestrian to heavy duty traffic.

Description

Increased rainfall and unchecked urban development frequently leave conventional storm water drainage systems unable to cope – resulting in severe surface flooding following periods of intense rainfall.

SuDS (sustainable drainage systems) such as AG’s Xflo Permeable Paving Solutions® are designed to mimic the natural movement of storm water and replace conventional storm water drainage systems.

Our Xflo permeable block paving range has been specially developed to provide specifiers with the drainage performance required without compromising on aesthetics – Xflo is available in a range of paving finishes and unit sizes.

Features and benefits:

  • Manufactured from premium quality selected granite and other natural aggregates.
  • The textured washed surface gives the appearance of natural granite stone.
  • The enlarged spacers on the sides of the block create 7 mm wide joints which allow surface water to pass through the paving. Enlarged spacers are dropped (invisible on the surface).
