KBI FlexiPave
Flexible. Porous. Sustainable.
What is KBI FlexiPave?
KBI Flexipave is an innovative flexible porous surfacing system designed to provide a durable, attractive and environmentally conscious solution for pedestrian areas and outdoor spaces.
Made from a 50/50 blend of recycled vehicle tyre rubber and natural stone aggregate, the materials are bound together using KBI's unique polyurethane binding system.
The result is a strong, flexible and highly porous surface that can adapt to movement and changing temperatures while allowing water to drain naturally through the surface.
Where can KBI Flexipave be installed?
Flexipave is a versatile surfacing solution suitable for a wide range of pedestrian and recreational environments.
Common applications include:
-
Footpaths – attractive, accessible and durable pedestrian routes.
-
Nature trails – a natural-looking surface that works well within outdoor environments.
-
Cycle routes – providing a smooth and comfortable surface for users.
-
Equestrian access – suitable for paths and access routes in equestrian environments.
-
Tree surrounds – flexible surfacing that can work particularly well around established trees.
-
Golf course paths – a durable and attractive solution for pedestrian routes.
-
Parks and public spaces – ideal for improving accessibility while maintaining the character of the surrounding environment.
Why choose KBI Flexipave?
Flexipave offers a combination of performance, sustainability and flexibility that makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of outdoor applications.
Key benefits include:
-
Highly porous – allows water to pass through the surface, helping to reduce standing water and improve drainage.
-
Flexible – the surface can gently flex with changes in temperature and minor ground movement, helping to reduce cracking.
-
Made using recycled materials – incorporates recycled vehicle tyres, giving waste tyres a new purpose.
-
Durable and hard-wearing – designed to withstand regular pedestrian use and demanding outdoor environments.
-
Low maintenance – a long-lasting surface requiring minimal ongoing maintenance.
-
Slip resistant – provides a practical and safe surface for pedestrian areas.
-
No traditional edging required – helping to simplify installation and reduce unnecessary excavation.
-
Versatile installation – can be installed over a range of suitable sub-bases and can also be used as an overlay on existing hard surfaces.
Sustainability is at the heart of KBI Flexipave.
By incorporating recycled vehicle tyres into the surfacing system, Flexipave helps divert waste tyres away from disposal and gives them a useful second life.
Its highly porous construction also allows rainwater to pass through the surface, supporting effective surface-water management and helping to reduce issues associated with standing water.
Flexipave can also be installed using simplified sub-base solutions, including suitable no-dig systems, making it particularly useful for projects where excavation needs to be minimised.
