Using local stone, glass or other products, you can create a surface that blends, conforms and integrates more cohesively into your landscape surface. Using the structurally stable honeycomb shaped grid (CORE Gravel), filled with clean gravel and over-topped with resin-bound (SOLUV) gravel, glass or other surface aggregates, you have a surface that is A.D.A., S.U.D.S. and LEED compliant, 100% porous and aesthetically flexible.

The Foundation - CORE Gravel Grid

CORE gravel is a honeycomb shaped, injection molded, polypropylene grid that provides the structural base and compression capability for this aesthetically pleasing SOLEPAVE surface. Go to CORE Gravel for the various grid types available to choose from.

The Surface - Soluv Resin

SOLECOL’s SOLUV binder is designed to bind the aggregate, glass or other surface product together over the top of the plastic grid. This unique binder is UV resistant, solvent-free and clear. It can handle extreme weather conditions. Also offered, SOLAMB, a non-UV resistant binder for applications where additional structural stability is required. For more information, go to SOLECOL.com.

Applications

Public Walkways • Public Parks • Driveways • Patio Surfaces

Solepave Benefits

• High load bearing capacity
• Eco-friendly solution for erosion control, earth retention, slope protection and stability issues
• U.V. stone surface finished top layer provides excellent resistance in aggressive environments
• Long life at low maintenance costs (Cost Liability significantly reduced vs other products such as asphalt and concrete)
• Excellent water drainage capability
• Excellent acoustic dampening properties
• Geotextile backing reduces weed growth potential
• Used in SUDS and LEED compliant paving installations
• Quick and easy to install: no specialist tools or training needed

CORE Gravel is a stabilized gravel system consisting of panels of connected honeycomb cells with a geotextile backing. Made with 100% recycled plastics, the manufacturing process allows the creation of a rigid, uniform hexagon shape while providing maximum load bearing. Ideal for laneways, driveways, and parking pads, the grid is virtually invisible and allows for great water drainage.

Gravel Driveway, Path and Parking Stabilization

CORE Gravel is a stabilized gravel system consisting of a foundation of connected honeycomb-celled panels with a geotextile backing. Once filled with gravel this system is ideal for vehicle or pedestrian traffic with no compromise in strength and durability. This eco-friendly system costs less than asphalt, concrete or block pavers.

Applications

Why choose CORE Gravel over other products on the market?

All of our grids (grass or gravel) are closed cell systems. Meaning all of the cells are attached to the neighbouring cell with no breaks. This ensures an even weight distribution. 

CORE Gravel Benefits

• Gravel Stabilization - Get gravel to stay put, no ruts, no sinking, no problems.
• Low Cost - Because the gravel won't move around you can use less, giving you a porous surface that costs less than concrete, asphalt or block pavers.
• Superior Strength - Enhanced load bearing eliminates rutting, separating or sliding with vehicle traffic.
• Weed Reduction - The geotextile backing underneath each panel prevents weed growth.
• Green Solution - Environmentally friendly porous gravel paving allows the rain to drain over the entire surface.
• SUDS Compliant - Because CORE Gravel is porous it is ideal for solutions requiring a Sustainable Drainage System.
• ADA Compliant - Ideal for pedestrians, bicycles and wheelchair traffic.
• Invisible - When filled the product is practically invisible, leaving you with a stunning surface that is easy to maintain.

CORE Product Features

• All of our grids contain Carbon Black as a UV (ultra- violet light) inhibitor.
• All of our grids are made by Injection Mold, the highest quality process available for creating rigid plastic products. Lower quality 2-part extrusion molded products that come in rolls and have non-continuous surfaces are not uniform and the plastic has the potential to separate with tire turning.
• All of our CORE Gravel and CORE Grass grids have flexibility (resistance to fracture), tensile strength and maximum shearing load (thank the bees for these last 2).
• All CORE Gravel grids come with a geotextile fabric heat-welded to the back of every single honeycomb cell. This saves time and money during installation.

CORE Grass is the ideal green choice for low impact parking. Ideal for overflow parking, public places, access roads, and driveways, CORE Grass is stabilized so turf can grow with no ruts or sinking. The strong honeycomb shapes and interlocking grid provides amazing stability and effective drainage.

CORE Glow is an eco-friendly pebble made out of recycled plastic which gives off lighting that requires no electricity or power. Also available in recycled glass, this renewable light source has no carbon emissions which will not only save money, but the environment as well.
