WIENERBERGER New Shape Aquata Paver Launched By Wienerberger
All the benefits of SUDS with a traditional edge
The new shape Aquata paver has been unveiled by Wienerberger. This
traditionally styled paver forms part of the sustainable urban
drainage system (SUDS), which gives extra credit under the Code for
Sustainable Homes and has a demonstrable impact on effective
dissipation of surface water.
Aquata is a uniquely shaped clay block which provides the wearing
course over the system’s permeable bedding aggregate, through which
surface-run off can drain into the natural rainwater systems.
Wienerberger has revamped the external edge of the block so it
resembles the traditional paver shape, by lowering the position of
the specially engineered interlocking nibs so they are no longer
visible from the surface once the jointing material is laid.
The new Aquata will provide customers with a more traditional
aesthetic which offers all the benefits of a SUDS system. The Aquata
range also features a new colour, multi-brindle, giving customers
more choice than ever when it comes to designing their external
spaces.
Mark Morris, sales and marketing director for Wienerberger, said the
paver demonstrates how design and sustainability can work together.
He said: “The lack of natural drainage in urban areas, due to hard
landscaping and the loss of green space, has contributed to the
increased incidence of flooding over recent years. More than two
million properties in the UK are located in flood risk areas with up
to five million people potentially affected. The devastating impact
of flooding has meant government agencies and local authorities are
demanding higher standards from developers who in turn are turning
to manufacturers for solutions.
“Sustainable urban drainage systems are a fantastic method of
ensuring surface run off can be dissipated effectively without any
adverse impact on the natural environment. In the past there has
always been a compromise for designers in terms of the aesthetic of
the paver but now, with this new shape block, they can achieve clean
lines and traditional styling while also doing right by the
environment.”
Wienerberger, the world’s biggest brick manufacturer and a market
leader in clay pavers, is committed to sustainable solutions across
its portfolio of products and in its manufacturing techniques. A
series of eco-alternatives were on display at Ecobuild including a
cross section of the Aquata SUDS which demonstrated how water is
filtered, cleaned and stored within the voids in the component
layers before being discharged through the subgrade into the
drainage system.
The use of SUDS is encouraged by local authorities in their planning
guidance PPS25. In addition, incorporating SUDS in new developments
ensures compliance with the water management element of the Code for
Sustainable Homes and Part H of the Building Regulations. The
Wienerberger SUDS can also be linked to grey water recycling systems
in order to make new home developments even more sustainable.
