FIRMAPAVE® POROUS PAVEMENTS:

PERMEABLE ARCHITECTURAL STONE

Design naturally-attractive pavements that reflect your design vision and provide substantial environmental benefits for your clients.

NATURAL STONE ELEGANCE

Made with bonded architectural stone, the Presto Firmapave® system offers a porous hard-surfaced pavement that handles pedestrian and vehicular traffic loads. Variant-colored natural stone will define, enhance and differentiate your landscape designs with classic colors and rich tones.

ENVIRONMENTAL & STRUCTURAL BENEFITS

Along with architectural aesthetics and design flexibility, highly-porous FirmaPave pavements offer environmental benefits that help manage stormwater on site.

• 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).
• highly porous surface reduces stormwater runoff, contributes to environmental goals and LEED® green building 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.
• high-porosity structural matrix and high-strength flexible binder minimizes the effects of expansion/contraction and offers forgiveness to imperfect base preparation.
• natural binder is safe for plant and marine life.

FirmaPave Applications

Pavements for parking areas, trails, walkways, pedestrian courtyards & landscape features.Porous subgrade layer for stabilizing golf course sand bunkers, with more consistent coverage, less maintenance and less cost than sprayed on products.

Firmapave Material: Poured-in-place mix of architectural stone aggregate bonded with an elastomeric binder. (See specifications, case studies and other design and construction tools on right side bar)
