What is Permeable Flooring and What are its Advantages?

Permeable floor applications offer great advantages in terms of stormwater management and environmental sustainability. In this article, we will explore what permeable paving is and its advantages.

Permeable paving or permeable ground is a specially designed type of ground that can filter rainwater thanks to its porous structure, allowing water to pass from the surface to the underground. This type of pavement allows natural rainwater to meet the soil to feed underground water resources and prevents water accumulation on the surface. It helps the water cycle to continue naturally and nourishes underground water resources.

Permeable floors offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to the environmental problems of modern urbanization. Permeable floors will be an indispensable element for the cities of the future with their water management, reduction of the heat island effect and aesthetic design advantages. It supports water management, erosion control and protection of green areas.

BASF Elastopave is a durable, water and air permeable surface obtained by bonding specially processed aggregate (natural stone) mixtures with polyurethane. Thanks to the selected resin and stone mixture, a surface with many interconnected pores is obtained.

With the appropriate infrastructure in the substrates, water is effectively drained.

Our Isopave stone carpet applications are environmentally friendly: resins and natural stones that are compatible with nature are used. With its porous structure, you can filter excess water and transfer it to the rainwater tank, thus saving water. Due to its structure, it prevents the growth of weeds and plants.

Isopave stone carpet applications can be easily used in parking lots, walkways or gardens. With its highly durable structure, there are no openings between the stones. It does not slip or icing with its rough structure.
