Calstar Permeable Pavers

Noah Kalina

CalStar Products’ permeable pavers manage stormwater runoff and are also suitable for vehicular applications. The sustainably manufactured masonry incorporates 40% post-industrial recycled material in the binder and is made with a process that uses 50% to 85% less energy and generates 85% less carbon dioxide as compared to traditional manufacturing. The ASTM C936–compliant permeable pavers are 5″ by 10″ by 3.2″ and feature large lugs, which provide 5.9% open area to accommodate stormwater runoff and to prevent flooding. The pavers are suitable for parking lots, alleys, crosswalks, and plazas. They come in 11 colors and can be packaged for mechanical installation. calstarproducts.com
