Yes.

COREgravel provides a porous paving solutions which returns water back to the environment where it belongs, instead of pooling or causing the flooding problems of traditional pavement installations. In addition COREgravel is recyclable virgin Polypropeline which is UV and heat resistant thusly not easily broken down so will not leak toxins into the environment.

Yes.

While you do not have the rutting and aggregate migration of traditional gravel installations, you still need to occasionally rake the gravel. If you can see the COREgravel structure, you should rake the gravel to completely cover the honeycomb, thus preventing damage.

Virgin Polypropylene, which means this product is recyclable and will not leak any toxins into the environment.

Slopes are okay, but no more than 20° for best results.

We have a unique interlocking system which makes installation of our sheets a "snap". Installation conditions vary and may require some engineering or other professional input, so we recommend our product be installed by professionals.

We recommend gravel 10mm or below, such as pea gravel or crushed angular gravel, to be used to fill the 38 mm cells. We also have 50mm cells for larger size gravel or aggregates.

We often sell our COREgravel stabiliser panels in 2 sizes:

• BIG – 31.5 x 47.2 inches (800 x 1200mm)
• JUMBO – 47.2 x 94.5 inches (1200 x 2400mm)

Custom sizes are also available.

Yes.

Our products are compatible with Sustainable (Urban) Drainage Solutions. Core6™ Landsape Systems are porous surfaces. SUDS can be either porous or permeable. The important distinction and advantage between the two is:  Porous surfacing is a surface that infiltrates water across the entire surface.

Yes.

Water runs through the gravel and geotextile membrane across the ENTIRE surface so this is a true porous paving product.
"Pervious surfaces can be either porous or permeable. The important distinction between the two is:

• Porous surfacing is a surface that infiltrates water across the entire surface.
• Permeable surfacing is formed of material that is itself impervious to water but, by virtue of voids formed through the surface, allows infiltration through the pattern of voids."

Yes.

Soft surfaces are difficult for people with mobility impairments to negotiate and therefore should be avoided. COREgravel allows a natural look, yet still able to be navigated by road bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs not designed for outdoor terrain. The ADAAG states, "materials stabilised and retained by permanent or temporary geotextiles (mesh), gridforms, or similar construction may perform satisfactorily for persons using wheelchairs and walking aids."

No.

The geotextile membrane material that is fused to the bottom of COREgravel prevents weed growth.
