Sudstech Permeable Paving

No. Sudstech is fully Suds compliant and is classed as a soak away.

Sudstech’s patented design utilises a recycled tyre sub base that is slightly flexible. This allows water to naturally return to the water table. With a resin system that is laid on to concrete or Tarmac water flows through the resin but cannot pass back in to the ground. Should water freeze between the permeable top course and the impermeable base delamination and subsequent breaking up of the surface can occur.

Yes, in most cases this can be achieved by adapting the existing surface We would be happy to advise you.

No, the rubber sub base is combined with stone and special resins and while the surface is flexible enough to withstand freeze thaw conditions and prevent clogging it will feel no different to any other surface in use.

Very little. As we have already mentioned the surface will agitate grit and dust through the surface. Should soil be spilt on an area that has very little foot traffic it can be vacuumed or power washed on a low setting. Other resin manufacturers require the area to be treated with salt in frosty conditions and cleaned off as soon as the weather improves.

Yes. Sudstech has been tested by BRE The British research establishment for impact resistance and freeze thaw safety.

Sudstech is installed on to a preprepared base of 200mm of type 3 aggregate with ridged edging of your choice cemented in to place. We are happy to advise your contractor.

Trailflex uses natural stone sourced in the UK. While we will endeavour to match the colour of your sample exactly, our stone may vary. In some circumstances, stone colour may vary from mix to mix, this is a common occurrence and variances in the surface will settle over time due to the natural weathering process.

No, Trailflex can process 50,000 litres of rain water, per meter per hour ensuring puddles never form on the surface.

No. We use stone mixed with our specialist tyre rubber and although flexible to 90 degrees Trailflex provides a solid surface to walk or drive on.

Very little. Brushing occasionally with a stiff broom will be enough to keep the surface looking pristine.

Within 16 hours

Trailflex is installed on to a pre-prepared base of 200mm of type 3 aggregate for driveways. Please seek advice for other applications such as patios and pathways

No. The rubber tracks can cause damage to the surface.

The flexibility of the surface allows small particles of dirt to agitate through the surface as it is used, because of this weeds have no growth medium in which to establish themselves.

The flexibility of the Trailflex surface allows water to freeze and thaw without causing damage to the surface

No. Trailflex can process 50,000 litres of rain water, per meter, per hour

Yes. We can offer specifications to deal with heavy clay soils.

No. Trailflex is fully Suds compliant. With every m2 soaking up rain water, the whole area is effectively a soak away.

Unlike standard block pavers, Cerama pave has a porous structure. Water can pass through the body of the block instead of relying on the channels which are created between them.

Yes, our pavers can take vehicle weight apart from our largest block 600x300x55mm

To lay Cerama Pave over an existing tarmac or concrete base, the existing base must be in acceptable condition (No cracks, Free from spalling, No breaking up). We do however recommend laying Cerama Pave as stated in the installation guide to take full advantage of its permeability.

We do recommend some type of edge restraint (kerb) is installed, especially for areas which will be exposed to movement. For example, Driveways, Access Roads etc.

Yes. If you can drive up it, you can pave it!

Yes, Cerama Pave is suitable, however consideration must be given for loss of sand.
