Is The Interlocked Pavement (still) a Good Option?
Stone cube, stone slabs, cement blocks are still the most used pavements in the paving of streets. They are at the top of strength and longevity for all types of mobility, they are super resistant.
Unfortunately if used as they are until today, they produce an waterproofing surface, prone to movement of water masses, little or no infiltration in the same place, lack of "breathing" of the floor, thermal uncomfortable, and others that are not worth mentioning.
The industry has realized that it can use the qualities and strength of these pavements and substantially reduce the negative aspects if it can increase the width of the joints between the stones, filling these "free" spaces with permeable materials, preserving the stability of pavement.

Today, cities around the world are using all kinds of constructive solutions that can lessen the harmful eIects on the environment due to the waterproofing of the soil resulting from massive construction. Green Roofs, Flooded parks, Wetlands, Gardens, Rain gardens and Permeable floors and sidewalks as porous surfaces to minimize the necessary mobility impact in modern life.
These porous spaces between the stones allow an exponential infiltration of water, drastically reducing surface runoI, and providing the consistency and stability necessary for the paving stones to maintain the same eIort capacity.
FLOOR JOINTS IN LAGE.
The use of permeable joints sets a new benchmark in the use of slab and cube for exteriors. Used in various types of flooring, it is a more ecological form of construction, providing greater ability to infiltrate water into the soil, forming beautiful designs and providing the comfort, thermal and tactile sensation of stone.
Acorus Engenharia develops and supplies innovative and ecological enginering flooring solutions, in the world-class mineral, chemical and organic trade, where you can find means and resources for the most demanding projects.
