Porous Pave Adds Three Distributors

Porous Pave Inc. has added three new distributors in the U.S. and Canada for Porous Pave, the company’s porous, flexible and durable pour-in-place pavement material. The new distributors are Napa Valley Materials (California), Brico Services (British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan), and J&J Porous Pave (Ontario).

“Our distributors are committed to training and certifying installation contractors,” said Dave Ouwinga, president and CEO of Porous Pave Inc. “To help ensure excellent results, they also provide expert technical support during project planning and installation.”

An eco-friendly green building product, Porous Pave infiltrates storm water on site, reduces the volume and slows the velocity of peak storm water flow into storm drains and storm sewers, decreases erosion from runoff, filters out water pollutants, and recharges groundwater. Engineered with 29% void space, Porous Pave allows water to permeate through its surface, filter down through the compacted aggregate base on which it is poured, and then seep into the soil. Porous Pave XL consists of 50% recycled rubber chips and 50% stone aggregate with a moisture-cured binding agent. Porous Pave XLS is 100% recycled rubber chips with a more elastic binder.

“There is a strong demand in Western Canada for permeable and pervious paving surfaces for retaining storm water,” said Brian Pirot, owner, Brico Services, Calgary, Alberta. “As a supply and distribution company specializing in landscape and building supplies and equipment, we offer products that provide superior performance. Porous Pave is engineered to achieve greater permeability than other paving products.”

“I found out about Porous Pave when I was looking for an alternative to concrete and asphalt for my own driveway. We installed Porous Pave in September 2014, and it came through one of the coldest Canadian winters in a long time in great shape,” said Jim Roth, president, J&J Porous Pave, Stratford, Ontario. “I was so impressed, I started a company to distribute Porous Pave.”
