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

Permeable paving blocks designed to provide a source control sustainable urban drainage system (SuDS) in combination with a designed sub-base specification.


Surface water flows through the joints and is absorbed into the underlying voided sub-base where the water is treated, stored and slowly released into the ground (infiltration) or the surface water drainage system (attenuation). 


Features and benefits:

  • Designed to allow an initial surface infiltration in the order of 2000 L/s/ha.
  • 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).
