The Benefits of PurePave Permeable Pavement

Installing a Dream Pave permeable driveway offers a highly durable and porous way for residential, commercial, and municipal stormwater management. Dream Pave’s resin bound aggregate is ideal for driveways, walkways, patios, pool areas, and tree surrounds.

Dream Pave uses locally sourced (Ontario) granites to deliver our environmentally conscious, resin-bound aggregate pavement, creating a modern and sustainable surface to endure the North American climates. So, let’s discover a few of the benefits of a Dream Pave resin bound pavement!

The Benefits of a Dream Pave Resin Bound Aggregate Surface

Incredibly Permeable

A resilient landscape functions naturally by allowing rain to permeate back into the soil. Permeable Pavement has a permeable sub-base that allows water to drain 30 cm below the surface back into the soil. Therefore, an enormous amount of water per second can drain through the Permeable Pavement surface.

Sustainable

It has the lowest carbon footprint of any surfacing material to produce. This Earth Conscious Surfacing™ uses 5.4 kg of recycled plastic per square meter and has zero VOC emissions. Moreover, DreamPave prevents stormwater pollution from running into the sewers and into rivers, streams, and our water supply.

Low-Impact Development (LID)

DreamPave can mitigate flooding and circumvent the need for traditional stormwater infrastructure, saving developers money as a Low-Impact Development (LID) strategy.

Strong and Flexible

DreamPave is 6X stronger than asphalt and 1.6X stronger than cement. Moreover, it’s the first pavement not to lose strength from frost/thaw simulations performed by the University of Ottawa. Additionally, it’s flexible and doesn’t crack! DreamPave has a 6.1 mpA of flexural strength.

Comfortably ‘Cool’ to Walk on in the Summer

In the summer, the Dream Pave surface is noticeably more excellent to walk on than asphalt, concrete, and interlock surfaces. So, it’s ideal for pool areas. Moreover, heat buildup in and around cities is a problem. This heat buildup is called the urban heat island effect. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “Although originally designed for stormwater control, permeable pavements are emerging as a potential cool pavement.” Permeable surfaces, like Dream Pave, enhance water evaporation. In turn, this cools the pavement surface and surrounding air.

Winterized

Dream Pave is practically immune to the cracking and buckling caused by our harsh Canadian winters. Plus, snow melts 50% faster. Therefore, 50% less salt is required to melt ice.

Anti-slip and AODA Compliant

The Dream Pave surface is slip-resistant and can be upgraded to anti-slip. Plus, Dream Pave is AODA compliant. So, this is ideal for wheelchair access. Also, faster snow melt in the winter, with minimal ice build-up and extra grip, makes Dream Pave an excellent safety surface.

It Sparkles

Dream Pave’s attractive natural granites literally sparkle in the sunshine. In fact, your neighbours will think you’ve sprinkled Swarovski crystals on your driveway. Additionally, it’s made of 100% Canadian granite and available in an array of naturally designed colours.
