THE SYSTEM
Rotate the model, separate the layers or hide the paving to see how the filler sits within the frame.
Uniform cells with shared walls form the foundation of the system.
A mineral filler made from pumice, sand and selected additives. Initial mixtures are ready for further development and testing.
Paving slabs form the top layer. The model illustrates a possible construction beneath a paved surface.
