Product code: ESC-XARXA
A two-layer concrete paver with open joints that let rainwater through.
Xarxa is a two-layer outdoor paver for varied compositions with open joints and different laying directions. Its unusual shape, with two sides of 19 and 16 cm at right angles, creates irregular angles that give excellent mechanical performance and load distribution. By varying the joint width you can adjust how much water soaks into the ground, and fill the gaps with grass or sand.
