ACO launches new GravelGuard eco gravel stabilisation tiles

02 Jul 2021 | BALI Member News

Manufactured from 100% recycled polypropylene, ACO GravelGuard Eco tile stabilises gravel for pedestrian and vehicle access making the system ideal for driveways, paths and shed bases. 

ACO talked with Ulli Becker Instagram home design influencer about the need for gravel stabilisation tiles around her home and how the ACO GravelGuard Grey Eco option worked for her.

Outside we want it to be very natural.

Ulli says she opted for a natural garden for her modern house. A highlight is the terrace, which is not made of paving stones or tiles, but consists of an loose gravel surface:

At first we didn't have a honeycomb under the gravel. That didn't work for us as it feels like walking through the soft sand on the beach. With the honeycomb it is now much more stable and everything doesn't slide away any more. 

With more and more home owners seeing the value of the outdoors and even more conscious on how their actions can affect the environment around them, a porous solution like the ACO GravelGuard, can help allow water on site to soak into the ground, rather than being sent off into the sewers. At the same time being made from 100% recycled content is helping preserve natural resources.

The incorporated geo-textile helps to reduce weed growth and speeds up installation.

Correctly installed, ACO GravelGuard is suitable for loads up to 300 tonnes per square metre when filled, more than enough for its applications.

The ACO GravelGuard is designed to be installed with gravel 3-16mm in diameter, thanks to its large 47mm mm diameter honeycomb modules.

The huge tile size is 1176 x 1535 mm, which means one tile is 1.8 m², 10 m² can be covered with 5.6 tiles, or a pallet of 17 tiles will cover 30.68 m².
