What is Permeable Concrete?
Permeable concrete differs from standard concrete as it contains less aggregates in the mix. Additionally, it only uses coarse aggregates such as gravel and crushed stones, making it less dense and more porous, as the name suggests.
This type of concrete is often used for driveways, as the material's structure facilitates drainage to prevent water pooling on the surface and flooding.
Often, a thin layer of cement paste holds the coarse aggregates together, helping to maintain its strength.

Pay for what you lay
We will produce your concrete in our mix-on-site trucks at your project site, meaning we will only make as much as you need.
Our operators are experts at helping you work out how much concrete you will need for your space, so we will never generate too much concrete. This means you will never have extra material or face disposal charges.
Additionally, because permeable concrete uses a lower amount of aggregates, it can be cheaper than other concrete mixes.

Durable and long-lasting
Permeable concrete can be incredibly strong because it doesn’t shrink as much and is more malleable. This reduced shrinkage minimises the risk of cracks and structural weaknesses, while its malleability allows it to better absorb and distribute loads and stresses.
As a result, no-fines concrete not only maintains its structural integrity under various conditions but also exhibits enhanced durability, making it a very long-lasting material that can withstand the test of time.

Reduced environmental impact
Permeable concrete uses a small amount of coarse primary aggregate. The reduced amount of material going into the mixture means that fewer primary aggregates are mined.
This means habitats aren’t destroyed to get these natural resources, and we reduce the amount of fossil fuels that aren’t burned in machinery used in mining the materials.
Overall, the production of permeable concrete produces less carbon emissions, keeping your carbon footprint down and reducing your environmental impact.

Primary aggregates and cement used
In any of our concrete, we only use primary aggregates and cement, meaning we don’t use recycled materials.
This allows us to provide pure, clean concrete mixed with materials of the same shape and size. This can often improve the quality and strength of the concrete as a uniform mix is poured.

Permeable Concrete FAQs
Like standard concrete, permeable concrete consists of cement, coarse aggregates and water.
The coarse aggregates allow small gaps to form in the concrete, which enable water to pass through.
Permeable concrete is made using coarse aggregates specifically, which creates voids that allow water to run through.
The biggest benefit of no-fines concrete is that it allows water to soak through, meaning there is a lower risk of surface flooding.
No-fines concrete is often used for the following:
- Car parks
- Driveways
- Pathways
- Hard shoulders on roads
- Playgrounds and sports courts
