Key Facts

  • Excellent water permeation through the surface
  • LID compliant
  • Durable, non-rotting and weather resistant
  • Low maintenance and cost effective throughout the product life
  • The lightweight interlocking design enables ease and speed of installation
  • Ground Reinforcement reduces the carbon footprint of a project and it is completely recyclable

Features

  • Permeable design: LID compliant – offers excellent water permeation through the surface.
  • Load capacity: 50,000–70,000 lbs/ft2 on a correctly specified and compacted sub-base – DIN 1072 and ISO604 certified.
  • Quality design: Curves in the design allow for absorption of heat expansion.
  • Application options: Open cells can be filled with either gravel or soil and seed depending on your application.
  • Environmentally friendly: Manufactured from 100% recycled plastic.
  • Stable: Connection fit improves stability once units are in position.
