Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm

Versatile and load-bearing aggregate Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm is a durable and versatile crushed aggregate, particularly suited for subsurface drainage, yard construction, and as a load-bearing layer for roads and yards. Its coarse and angular structure ensures good water permeability and durability, even in demanding conditions. Applications Subsurface drainage and drainage solutions Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm is an excellent choice for subsurface drains and stormwater systems. Its coarse and angular structure creates ample air space and allows water to move quickly and efficiently from the soil into drainage pipes. This prevents moisture from accumulating around structures and protects them from moisture damage. The gravel size is ideal, as it does not clog easily and ensures long-term performance in drainage systems. Load-bearing layer for yards and roads Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm works excellently as a load-bearing layer for yards and roads. Its coarse and angular structure binds well and forms a stable and durable base for surface structures such as asphalt, concrete, or paving stones. As a load-bearing layer, it distributes loads over a wider area, which improves the durability of structures and prevents settling over time. The good water permeability of the gravel also helps keep structures dry. Building foundations Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm is well suited as a load-bearing material beneath building foundations, especially under footings and plinths. Its durable and load-bearing structure ensures that the weight of the building is evenly distributed to the ground, preventing settling and other structural problems. The good water permeability of the gravel also helps keep foundations dry and protects them from moisture damage. Landscaping and green construction Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm is a versatile material for landscaping and green construction projects as well. It can be used as decorative stone in flower beds, planting areas, and garden paths to create a natural and finished look. Its coarse structure also prevents weeds from growing. Gravel is also well suited for creating natural-looking surfaces, for example as a covering for paths and seating areas. Playgrounds and sports areas Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm can be a suitable option for playgrounds and sports areas. Its durable and natural surface withstands wear and weather variations well. The good water permeability of the gravel ensures that the area stays dry even after rain. However, it should be noted that the coarseness of the gravel may affect comfort of use, so its suitability should be assessed according to the specific needs of the site. Features Grain size: 8–16 mm The grain size of Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm is optimal for many uses. This size range is large enough to function effectively as a drainage material while also being suitably sized for load-bearing layers and decorative use. It is not so small that it could easily sink into the ground or become muddy, nor so large that it would be difficult to handle. Coarse and angular structure The coarse and angular structure of Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm is one of its most important properties. Angular stones bind well to each other, making it an excellent material for load-bearing layers. This structure also prevents the gravel from shifting and settling under load. In addition, the rough surface provides good grip and traction. Excellent water permeability The coarse and open structure of Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm provides excellent water permeability. Water flows easily through the gravel layer, which is essential for effective subsurface drainage and keeping structures dry. Good water permeability also helps prevent puddles from forming on surfaces. Natural grey color The natural grey color of Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm is neutral and fits well into various environments and landscaping projects. It is a common and accepted color in building and yard construction. Tip! Use Kalliosepeli 8-16 mm around drainage pipes to ensure effective water removal and prevent moisture problems in structures. Spread the gravel evenly around the pipes in a sufficient thickness so that water can flow freely into the drains. Product number: Kalliosepeli KaS 8-16 mm
