What is Porous Permeable Paving?
Porous paving is a paving type product that allows air and water to flow through itself and permits water to soak into the soils.
Allowing water to penetrate the surface and flow through to the ground below will help alleviate current issues such as flooding, pollution and preservation orders on trees. General awareness of the importance of using permeable surfaces in our cities to decrease pressure on our storm water systems as well as improve soil quality is also rising.
Porous paving can be used for a variety of water management objectives to:
- Reduce peak storm-water discharges from paved areas.
- Increase groundwater recharge.
- Improve storm-water quality.
- Reduce the area of land dedicated solely to storm-water management.
Porous paving is:
- Cheaper to manufacture and install than traditional paving.
- Environmentally friendly made from either 100% recycled Rubber or Tree Mulch.
- Long lasting with no maintenance required.
- Flexibility of products depending on location.
- Suitable to use around trees as its flexibility moves with tree roots.
