Porous Pave, based in Grant, Mich., introduced eight custom colors for Porous Pave, a porous, flexible and durable pour-in-place surfacing material. The custom colors are gray-black, tan-black, brown-black, cypress-black, red-black, brown-tan, green-brown and blue-grey. Porous Pave colors are permanent and fade resistant, according to the company.
“Our custom colors offer the eight combinations proven best for harmonizing permeable paved surfaces with a variety of landscape and hardscape designs,” said Porous Pave President and CEO Dave Ouwinga.
Discarded tires, diverted from landfills and recycled, are shredded and processed into the one-quarter-inch rubber chips incorporated into Porous Pave. The material is engineered with 29 percent void space, allowing water to permeate through the surface, filter down through a compacted aggregate base and then seep into the soil below, the company says.
