TrafiDal - Grass pavers for heavy and intense traffic - MatGeco

TrafiDal 50 is the ideal alternative to concrete grass pavers. Visually, it resembles BG pavers and offers similar resistance, making it suitable for heavy and intense traffic.

Made from recycled plastic , it offers higher impact resistance while being much lighter than its concrete equivalent. A slab weighs only 5.3 kg and has a resistance of over 500t/m² .

Thanks to its light weight, installation is much easier , faster and can be done entirely by hand .

The interlocking sides allow the slabs to be joined together for straight alignment . Once joined, they offer lasting resistance to intensive vehicle maneuvers .

The slabs are open over approximately 53% of their surface , which allows for rapid penetration of rainwater into the ground without overloading the drainage system.
