Permeable Pavements

Leading the way in ecological pavement engineering

Unilock pioneered the concept of permeable paving in North America before it was even fashionable to be "green". Our international alliances in Europe have been actively using permeable pavements for over 20 years. Unilock eagerly embraced this new concept and began to introduce this to North American designers, planners and engineers. To date, Unilock has had more that 12 million square feet of permeable pavers installed into commercial and residential applications, making them the uncontested leader in permeable paving. The environmental benefits are so significant that residential applications of permeable pavements are being promoted by municipalities and government officials. Permeable pavements in residential applications can easily be combined with rainwater harvesting systems for outdoor seasonal uses as well.

One of the most popular permeable paver systems for residential use is Eco-Priora™ because of its sleek contemporary design. Eco-Priora™ is available in several finishes and colors.

Giving back to the earth. One paver at a time.

The Effects of Urban Development

Traditional urban construction has diverted rainwater into storm sewers and ultimately into streams, rivers and lakes. This diversion of rainwater has resulted in over-taxed sewer systems, as well as chemically and thermally polluted waters.

The Benefits of Permeable Pavements

Reduces stormwater load

Eliminates thermal pollution of streams and rivers.

Naturally filters contaminants and replenishes the water table

Enables rainwater to be easily harvested

Look for the mark.
