Supports sustainable construction practices by reducing waste.
High durability and strength, suitable for heavy traffic areas.
Things to consider:
Recycled type 1 may contain foreign debris of rubbish, wood, metal, plastic and more due to the recycled nature of the source material e.g demolition sites.
Recycled type 1 may contain larger fragments due to certain debris angle may fall through the jaws or the mesh of the processing plant and machinery.
Coverage Guidance:
A bulk bag of Recycled Type 1 (850kg) typically covers:
8.95 m² at a depth of 50mm
4.47 m² at a depth of 100mm
For best results, we recommend compacting in layers of 50mm to 100mm during installation.
