The advantages of draining outdoor flooring

When creating or renovating external flooring such as squares, pedestrian avenues or external paths of residential complexes such as courtyards, villas, condominiums a fundamental aspect of design is choose the most suitable material taking care of drainage or filtering of rainwater thus avoiding as much as possible the creation of new impermeable surfaces such as asphalt and concrete or such as self-locking paving and loose gravel.

The draining flooring for outdoors are certainly an excellent technical and aesthetic solution since they offer numerous advantages including the guarantee of avoiding humidity stagnation by keeping the surface as dry as possible.

The draining floor is also made with a mix of marble chips (flakes) and resin that give the surface a natural, valuable appearance and enhance the environment in which it is placed.

Realize marble chip flooring (graniglia) for outdoors allows you to obtain a draining action in outdoor areas such as courtyards, squares, parking lots with multiple advantages.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING A DRAINING FLOORING?

The interesting advantages are:

• improve the distribution of rainwater , draining floors release water causing it to flow into the underlying substrate, increasing the supply of water aquifers causing hydrogeological mitigation,
• a draining pavement is  safer to be used during storms and rains because it breaks down the normal layers of surface water that can form on surfaces.
• mitigation of the heat island effect, the physical structural characteristics of draining pavements allow for a more rapid dissipation of temperature, helping to create a better microclimate,
• they do not require any particular maintenance,
• guarantee excellent durability over time,
• can be placed both on new surfaces be on pre-existing external flooring,
• High climatic resistance to temperature changes and freeze-thaw cycles.
• Possibility of customization thanks to the wide availability of selectable materials, natural geometric shapes and the variety of colours of the natural aggregates that can be used,

• Pedestrian and vehicular,  the coating thickness can vary from 8, 12 or 18 mm,
• Reduced execution times with cold working.

For these reasons Federchemicals has created Drenafloor  transparent one-component aliphatic polyurethane resin NON-YELLOWING, solvent-free, odorless, ideal as a binder for the creation of decorative draining floors

Drenafloor thanks to its formulation it hardens with the humidity in the air giving rise to a binding structure with excellent resistance to atmospheric agents and wear resistance.
