FILTERPAVE® POROUS PAVEMENTS: ARCHITECTURAL-AESTHETICS, ECO-FRIENDLY
Design pavements that exceed your clients' expectations. Create colorful, low-environmental-impact pavements to compliment landscape or building designs. Contribute to a greener earth by using abundant recycled materials that reduce stormwater runoff and exhibit a low carbon footprint.
CREATE INSPIRING PAVEMENTS
The Presto FilterPave® system offers a greener, highly attractive hard-surfaced porous surface designed to handle light-to-heavy pedestrian or vehicular traffic loads. This unique pavement has architectural aesthetics, design flexibility, and environmental benefits that surpass standards for pavements of its kind.
REFLECT YOUR DESIGN VISION
The colorful mosaic of specially-processed, recycled variant-colored glass is enhanced with five colored pigments to complement, contrast or enhance your landscape designs.
- A hardened surface with porosity comparable to open-graded base course (OGBC). Its better-than-asphalt flexibility and higher compressive strengths are a result of the elastomeric binder.
- The FilterPave surface is as safe as any traditional pavement on which to walk or drive. The high-strength natural binder that bonds the pavement is also safe for plant and marine life.
STORMWATER & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
The FilterPave system's highly porous surface reduces stormwater runoff and the use of recycled materials conserve resources. It's a pavement solution that will help you meet environmental goals and earn LEED credits.
- Twice as porous as other hard-surfaced porous pavements (38%) results in a greater reduction of stormwater runoff and better resistance to clogging and maintenance requirements.
- Comprised of ~96% recycled materials including 100% post-consumer recycled glass; allows the constructive use of abundant materials that are typically landfilled. About 90 beverage bottles are used in just one square foot of FilterPave pavement.

FilterPave Material: Poured-in-place mix of recycled 100% post-consumer recycled glass, bonded with an elastomeric binder.
