without permapave permeable paversPermapave Permeable Pavers are natural stone pavers which have a flow through rate of up to 30 litres per second.

Permapave Permeable Pavers are an effective filter, removing 100% of gross pollutants from stormwater as it passes through the substrate.

Permapave Permeable Pavers provide the hard surface required for urban living, yet allow storm water to pass freely through the substrate to return to the water source, much as it did before urbanisation.

Permapave Permeable Pavers are an effective filter, removing 100% of gross pollutants from stormwater as it passes through the substratePermapave Permeable pavers are trafficable, and comply with Australian Standard AUS4455. 300mm x 300mm flag pavers can be manufactured with a transverse breaking strength exceeding 6Kn.

Clogging is no problem. Pavers are easily cleaned whenever necessary, using the Permapave cleaning machine or mechanical vacuum. Depending on the area of catchment and the local contaminant profile, pavers may need cleaning each 2 years.

permapave permeable paver sample coloursPermapave Permeable Pavers are safe and non-slip for pedestrians, bicycles, and motor cars. Even for high heel shoes. Australian Standard test AS4586, Rubber type 4S (automobiles) classifies the surface as "W" and AS 4586, Rubber Type TRL (pedestrians), classifies the surface as "V". Both results indicate a very high non-slip level.
