Product code: ESC-HUELLA
Footprint-shaped concrete pavers for permeable paving with grass or sand gaps.
Huella (Spanish for “footprint”) takes its shape from the human footprint – the mark left by someone passing by. The broad edges allow the pavers to interlock, and spacing them out creates a graduated grid of paving and grass in which the pavers cover from 100% to 60% of the area. This lets you tune the surface that absorbs rainwater and create soft transitions between paving and grass or sand.

School yards, parks, parking bays and paths where green space should be preserved and rainwater allowed to soak in.
In transition zones, gradually space the pavers further apart – from solid paving by the building to an open grid with grass – for a natural, attractive edge to the lawn.
