Permeable Concrete

Description:

7mm stone set in a grey cement base creates a simple and classic look - also available in different colours.

Pervious concrete is made using single size aggregates with little to no fine aggregates like sand. The cement paste coats the particles locking them together into a stable matrix. The absence of fines creates a void structure that allows water to pass through the concrete structure. Pervious concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with light traffic, residential streets and pedestrian walkways.

It is an important application for sustainable construction and is one of the most effective low impact development techniques used by builders to increase permeable areas in the project.
