The system is also an ideal solution for municipalities, parks and other government porous surface projects as well as stone-scaping applications in residential areas. Combine natural pebbles with a polyurethane binder. The mixed formula is troweled in place creating a durable, decorative, eco-friendly porous surface. -
Porous Pave
Introduced in 2006, Porous Pave is a highly porous, durable and flexible pour-in-place permeable paving material consisting of recycled rubber, aggregate and a urethane binder. Porous Pave allows large amounts of water to drain through it, thereby minimizing the amount of volume directed to storm drains, basins and other areas of drainage. Porous Pave is made from recycled tires. The shredding process removes all steel fragments and produces approximately 1/4" - 3/8" rubber “chips”. The use of Porous Pave keeps thousands of tires from going to the landfill. Resists cracking and heaving commonly found on concrete sidewalks. Reduces the chance of slip & fall accidents. Low impact installation - no heavy equipment needed. Ideal for use in existing landscapes. -
