Aggregate Stabilisation Modules

The use of a gravel stabiliser is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended for several reasons:

Prevention of sinking and dispersion: without a stabiliser, gravel can sink into the ground and disperse, creating uneven and unstable surfaces.
Improved drainage: gravel stabilisers, often used with geotextile, allow for better water infiltration, reducing the risk of puddles and erosion.
Aesthetics and maintenance: a stabiliser keeps the gravel in place, maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the landscape and facilitating its maintenance.
Durability and resistance: gravel stabilisers increase the durability of the gravel surface, supporting heavy loads and withstanding harsh weather conditions.
In summary, although not mandatory, their use offers many practical and aesthetic advantages that can greatly improve the quality and longevity of your outdoor landscaping.

To ensure optimal performance of your Jouplast® stabilising slabs, it is essential to choose the right size gravel for the product used.

• Alveplac®: For this model, we recommend using gravel with a grain size of 5/15 or 8/16 mm. Once the slabs are filled, it is advisable to add approximately 2 cm of additional gravel on top of the honeycomb slabs to ensure maximum stability and performance.
• Urbangravel®: To fill the honeycomb cells of this product, choose crushed gravel with a grain size between 5 and 10 mm. Fill the cells to the top to obtain a stable and uniform surface.
• Urbanit®: Similarly, for this model, it is recommended to use crushed gravel with a grain size between 5 and 10 mm. Fill the cells to overflowing to ensure optimal stability.

After installing the gravel, make sure to spread it evenly with a rake to achieve a flat and attractive surface. By following these recommendations, you will ensure the durability and effectiveness of your gravel landscaping.
