Benefits

CORE6 Systems are leading the way in sustainable landscaping solutions.

Our products are compatible with Sustainable (Urban) Drainage Solutions. CORE6ā„¢ Landscape Systems are porous surfaces. SUDS can be either porous or permeable. The important distinction and advantage between the two is: Porous surfacing is a surface that infiltrates water across the entire surface.

Stormwater BMP

These completely porous surfaces allows the rain to drain through, therefore reducing the need for stormwater manage- ment infrastructure..

Valuable cooling effect

Reduce and mitigate urban heat island effects with these low-impact development practices allowing more vegetation and less concrete and asphalt.

Reduce risks of flooding

Flooding risks are reduced with every square foot of porous surfaces, since parking spaces account for over half of all non-porous development.

Improve quality of groundwater

Through bio-filtration these porous paving surfaces are more efficient at removing NPS pollutants and improving the quality of runoff while maintaining infiltration.

Recycled Plastic

Made of recycled polypropylene plastic for sustainability as well as lower costs, our products can also be repurposed and recycled at the end of their life-cycle.

Sustainable Business

Helps businesses toā€œmeet the needs of the present world without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.ā€ā€“ UN General Assembly (1987)

Sustainable Homes

A key in reducing environmental impact with green building, by addressing efficient handling of water, as well as reducing pollution and environmental degradation.

Increase quantity of groundwater

The underlying stone reservoir temporarily stores surface runoff before infiltrating directly into the subsoil, reducing the exposure to the sun and heat, ensuring maximum infiltration.

LEED & SUDS compliant

Used in SUDS and LEED compliant porous paving BMPs for ideal draining and minimal environmental impact.

ADA compliant

Used in ADA disability compliant surfaces for pedestrians, bicycles, & wheelchair traffic.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Dive into the following questions to gain insights into the powerful features that AstroWind offers and how it can elevate your web development journey.

Is COREgravel environmentally friendly?

Yes! COREgravelā„¢ provides a porous paving solutions which returns water back to the environment where it belongs, instead of pooling or causing the flooding problems of traditional pavement installations. In addition CoreGRAVELā„¢ is recyclable virgin Polypropeline which is UV and heat resistant thusly not easily broken down so will not leak toxins into the environment.

Is COREgravel a porous paving solution?

Yes! Water runs through the gravel and geotextile membrane across the ENTIRE surface so this is a true porous paving product. Pervious surfaces can be either porous or permeable. The important distinction between the two is: Porous surfacing is a surface that infiltrates water across the entire surface. Permeable surfacing is formed of material that is itself impervious to water but, by virtue of voids formed through the surface, allows infiltration through the pattern of voids. -CIRIA (the construction industry research and information association)

Can I use CoreGRAVEL for an ADA-compliant surface?

Yes! Soft surfaces are difficult for people with mobility impairments to negotiate and therefore should be avoided. COREgravel allows a natural look, yet still able to be navigated by road bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs not designed for outdoor terrain. The ADAAG states, materials stabilized and retained by permanent or temporary geotextiles (mesh), gridforms, or similar construction may perform satisfactorily for persons using wheelchairs and walking aids.

Does this product meet the requirements for SUDS?

Yes! Our products are compatible with Sustainable (Urban) Drainage Solutions. Core6™ Landsape Systems are porous surfaces. SUDS can be either porous or permeable. The important distinction and advantage between the two is:  Porous surfacing is a surface that infiltrates water across the entire surface.

What are the temperature ranges for the product?

-45°C and +70°C

What about weeds, will they grow through the gravel?

No. The geotextile membrane material that is fused to the bottom of COREgravelā„¢ prevents weed growth.

What is the panel size of COREgravelā„¢?

We manufacture our COREgravel stabilizer panels in 2 sizes:

  • BIG – 31.5 x 47.2 inches (800 x 1200mm)
  • JUMBO – 47.2 x 94.5 inches (1200 x 2400mm)
  • Custom sizes are also available
  • What is the product made from?

    Virgin Polypropylene, which means this product is recyclable and will not leak any toxins into the environment.

    Is COREgravel or COREgrass easy to install?

    We have a unique interlocking system which makes installation of our sheets a 'snap'. Installation conditions vary and may require some engineering or other professional input, so we recommend our product be installed by professionals.

    What is the maximum slope for installation?

    Slopes are okay, but no more than 20Ā° for best results.

    Are COREgravel or COREgrass installations easy to maintain?

    Yes! While you do not have the rutting and aggregate migration of traditional gravel installations, you still need to occasionally rake the gravel. If you can see the CoreGRAVELā„¢ structure, you should rake gravel to completely cover the honeycomb, thus preventing damage.

    Can you drive cars on COREgravel or COREgrass, or is it just for walking?

    Yes! You can drive and park cars and trucks on the COREgravel product. Even without being filled it can withstand up to 40 tons of pressure. After being filled, COREgravel can withstand 100 tons of pressure. Our honeycomb CORE6 design offers superior strength.
