PERMEO : PERMEABLE CONCRETE (CEMENT + WOOD)
PERMEO® is a mixture of engineered wood aggregate and cement which provides porous surface for many different applications. Its implementation is very easy and the result is very aesthetic. It is available in 9 different colours. It will give you a practical and hard-wearing surface with endless design possibilities.
PERMEO® is an alternative to resin bound gravel or other permeable surfaces. It is mixed on site in a concrete mixer and hand laid onto a suitable surface. It provides an attractive, hard-wearing and low maintenance surface. Compared to other porous surfacing materials PERMEO® provides numerous advantages, still it is more economical and easier to implement.
