FILTERPAVE® POROUS PAVEMENTS: ARCHITECTURAL-AESTHETICS, ECO-FRIENDLY

Design pavements that exceed your clients' expectations. Create colorful, low-environmental-impact pavements to complement landscape or building designs. Contribute to a greener earth by using recycled materials that reduce stormwater runoff.

CREATE INSPIRING PAVEMENTS WITH RECYCLED GLASS

The Presto FilterPave® system is a highly attractive hard-surfaced porous pavement made from 100% post-consumer recycled glass. Designed for light-to-heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic loads, FilterPave pavements offer architectural aesthetics, design flexibility, and environmental benefits that surpass standards for pavements of its kind. (See specifications, case studies, and other design and constuction tools on right side bar)

• See research results from University of Florida (UCF) Stormwater Management Academy for 1) infiltration rate, 2) water quality improvement, 3) compressive strength and 4) sustainable void space (porosity).

REFLECT YOUR DESIGN VISION

The 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 made by BASF.
• Surface is as safe as any traditional pavement on which to walk or drive. The high-strength natural binder is also safe for plant and marine life.

STORMWATER & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

FilterPave pavements can help you meet environmental goals and earn LEED® credits.

• Reduce Stormwater Runoff: 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.
• Conserve Resources: Comprised of ~96% recycled materials makes constructive use of abundant materials that are typically landfilled. About 90 beverage bottles are used in just one square foot of FilterPave pavement.

INSTALLATION

FilterPave Material: Poured-in-place mix of recycled 100% post-consumer recycled glass, bonded with an elastomeric binder. Installed by a nationwide network of contractors. Contact Presto to locate a contractor in your area, or if you are interested in becoming a contractor.
