3. Baked solid in color and shape

The combination of different types of clay gives clay clinkers their unique color. They are dye-free, mass colored, and 100% colorfast. Because they are shaped, dried and fired under pressure, they are also extremely dimensionally stable.

They are also easy to break up and lay again. Very convenient when works are carried out after they are laid.

5. Water leveling function

Passaqua clay clinkers combine natural aesthetics with intrinsic durability and an ecological asset. By installing lateral spacers, you can create a larger joint between these special clinkers. This allows rainwater to slowly soak into the soil. The system reduces the volume of water going to the sewer system, and thus the risk of flooding. At the same time, it promotes the stability of the groundwater table. Last but not least, it also reduces the chances of algae, mosses and weeds growing in the joints.
