Designability

The excellent designability of E-Crete’s multi-layered porous concrete

With multi-layered porous concrete, many surface layers can be customized with various materials (fieldstone, soils, gravel, natural or artificial turf). Also, by combining with natural turf, Zhang stone (natural stone), brick, or a secondary product (block, slab, etc.), you can design landscapes that harmonize with Western or Japanese styles.
Also, as it’s easy to use for construction and furnishings in curved or slanted roads, slopes, and ground installations, it’s practical in various environments, from residential spaces to train station plazas and public spaces. It’s also possible to liven up and improve parking lots’ accessibility, which tends to have poor designability.
Also, when using it around a building or in a front yard, its excellent water permeability and water retention prevent splash-back occurring when it rains, which prevents outside walls from getting dirty, shoes from getting damaged due to gravel, and, as dust doesn’t rise, footwear from getting dirty. Furthermore, moisture can be supplied to nearby trees and flower beds, and weeding maintenance and other work are largely reduced.
The high designability of porous concrete and its reduced maintenance can greatly create more comfortable living spaces and environments.
