AQUATA

The new shape Aquata paver, available from Hardscape and manufactured by Wienerberger, is a traditionally styled paver forming part of the sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS), which gives extra credit under the Code for Sustainable Homes and has a demonstrable impact on effective dissipation of surface water.

It is a uniquely shaped clay block which provides the wearing course over the system’s permeable bedding aggregate, through which surface-run off can drain into the natural rainwater systems. The manufacturer has revamped the external edge of the block so it resembles the traditional paver shape, by lowering the position of the specially engineered interlocking nibs so they are no longer visible from the surface once the jointing material is laid.

The new Aquata paver provides customers with a more traditional aesthetic which offers all the benefits of a SUDS system. The Aquata range also features a new colour, multi-brindle, giving customers more choice than ever when it comes to designing their external spaces.

The use of SUDS is encouraged by local authorities in their planning guidance PPS25. In addition, incorporating SUDS in new developments ensures compliance with the water management element of the Code for Sustainable Homes and Part H of the Building Regulations. This specific SUDS system can also be linked to grey water recycling systems in order to make new home developments even more sustainable.
