Permeable paving, also known as porous pavement or pervious pavement, is a type of surface material used in roads, parking lots, sidewalks, and other paved areas that allows water to pass through it and infiltrate into the ground below.
As long as the culture of modern conveniences, functionality, and sustainability moves and changes – as it is constantly being challenged to do – there will always be updated solutions for the home, modern buildings, and the way people co-exist. Roof decks are an ideal modern extension of the home; elevated sanctuaries in the concrete jungle. This article takes a closer look at a particular type of permeable roof decking material, and the potential it has to completely transform rooftop leisure spaces while also complementing and enhancing modern eco-consciousness.
Sustainability in home design has never been so prevalent, and one trend which epitomises this shift is permeable paving: surfaces which allow water to pass through them instead of producing runoff as traditional pavement does; this innovative solution benefits both the environment and homeowners alike.
