CEMEX UK PRESENTS TWO NEW DOMESTIC PERMEABLE PAVING RANGES
Building materials provider CEMEX UK has launched two new concrete
block permeable pavers aimed at the domestic market, Chelsea
ReadyflowTM 60 and Barbican ReadyflowTM 60, complementing the
existing ReadyflowTM 80 commercial range.
In October 2008, new legislation will mean that this type of
permeable paver is the preferred option for many consumers, rather
than impermeable materials for which planning permission will be
required.
The two new pavers, Chelsea ReadyflowTM 60 and Barbican ReadyflowTM
60 have enhanced joints created by larger rather than conventional
spacer nibs. This unique design makes the pavers ideal as an
integral part of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS), a
growing solution in the UK to excessive surface water caused by rain
and flooding.
The new paving, which is ideal for driveways, paths and ornamental
gardens, allows surface water to pass through the voids in the block
design in a controlled manner into a sub grade or drainage system,
where it can be effectively managed.
It is estimated that around two thirds of the 55,000 homes affected
by the 2007 summer floods* were flooded from surface water run-off.
It is hoped that the new planning regulations, which require
householders to apply for planning permission if they wish to use
impermeable paving materials, will create a shift in the use of the
more environmentally-friendly permeable solutions.
The two ranges offer consumers a choice of colours and ‘looks’ to
enhance their property. Barbican ReadyflowTM 60 has a contemporary
appearance, with its smooth finish and clean lines in contrast to
Chelsea ReadyflowTM 60 with its traditional-looking tumbled edges.
The pavers come in a choice of 3 sizes to give infinite laying
patterns and 3 colours, Autumn Hue, Burnt Elm and Burnt Ember.
The environmental credentials of these new blocks extend beyond
their usage in pavements as they are made from CEMEX CEM 3 cement.
The factory blended CEM 3 cement is supplied locally and comprises
of 50% Portland cement (CEMI) and 50% ground granulated
blast-furnace slag. This reduces its carbon footprint by up to 45%.
