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).
