What is PurePave?
PurePave is a permeable paving system made of natural stone bonded with a specialized resin. This combination creates a solid surface that allows water to infiltrate directly into the ground.
Unlike asphalt or concrete, water doesn’t remain on the surface. It penetrates the paving and flows into a drainage base.
This type of paving is used for driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, patios, and commercial projects. The result is a durable, slip-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing surface.
In a climate like Quebec’s, this type of paving reduces water accumulation and improves drainage around buildings.
How does PurePave drainage works?
Permeable surface: Water passes directly through the surface rather than remaining on the paving.
Drainage base: The clean stone beneath the paving acts as a temporary reservoir.
Natural infiltration: Water gradually returns to the ground instead of flowing into the sewers.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
– What is PurePave ?
PurePave is a surface composed of aggregates bound by a resin, 100% permeable, designed to offer exceptional durability and ecological performance.
– How much does an installation cost ?
The cost varies depending on the surface area, soil condition, and base preparation. Although the initial investment is higher than for asphalt, PurePave lasts up to four times longer, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
– Can PurePave be used for a driveway ?
Yes. When installed on a suitable foundation, it can support the weight of vehicles.
– Does PurePave support heavy vehicles ?
Yes, especially the Industrial Composite version, specially designed for commercial areas, car parks and high-traffic areas.
– How long does the installation take ?
For a typical residential driveway, 2 to 3 days are sufficient, including excavation, site preparation and final installation.
– What type of maintenance is required ?
Very little! Occasional sweeping and low-pressure cleaning are all that’s needed to maintain the original appearance. A specialized treatment every three years is recommended. No cracks, no weeds, and no frequent repairs are required.
– Does PurePave cost more than asphalt ?
Yes, the initial investment is higher, but the lifespan is 3 to 4 times longer and maintenance costs are very reasonable.
– Does PurePave hold up to Quebec’s climate ?
Yes. The system is designed to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and northern climatic conditions.
– Does the color change over time ?
The aggregates used retain their natural color. A slight patina may appear, but it does not detract from the aesthetics.
-Can a damaged section be repaired ?
Yes, PurePave is repairable locally, without having to redo the entire surface.
– Can you clear snow from a PurePave surface ?
Yes. PurePave surfaces can be cleared of snow using standard methods.
– Where does the water go after it rains ?
The water infiltrates directly into the ground. PurePave’s highly porous structure allows water to pass through the surface and replenish the groundwater below, reducing runoff and helping prevent flooding.
