Recycled plastic grass tile for heavy traffic

With more than thirty years of experience, MatGeco brings a new innovation to the market with the TrafiDal 50 grass tile. This grass tile combines the strength of concrete with the pleasant lightness of a synthetic material. The low weight makes laying, entirely by hand, much easier and faster, and physically less demanding.  

The TrafiDal 50 grass tile is the ideal alternative to concrete turf slabs. With a unit weight of only about 5.3 kg, this grass tile made of recycled plastic weighs five times less than its 8-centimeter-thick concrete equivalent. This means no lifting equipment is needed for installation. And it can be laid much faster and by hand with less physical discomfort than conventional concrete alternatives.

Specially designed for heavy and heavy traffic

The TrafiDal 50 grass tile is specially designed to withstand heavy and heavy traffic and offers a compressive strength of 500 tons per square meter. Made from recycled plastic, the grass tile has a higher impact resistance than concrete. Moreover, this recycled raw material also allows for subsequent reuse or recycling. With its thick, robust appearance, it is an attractive addition to MatGeco's thin structure solutions and inspires immediate confidence in specifiers, who may have been deterred by previous bad experiences with inferior competing solutions. Applications for TrafiDal 50 include car/truck parking lots, driveable paths, fire lanes, relocation zones and rest and parking areas along highways.

Perfectly interlocked and self-draining

The TrafiDal 50 grass tile (standard size 60 x 40 cm) has lateral interlocks, allowing the tiles to be laid together in a perfectly straight line. Once locked together, the grass tiles can withstand intensive vehicle maneuvers. And of course, the quality of the tiles ensures that they are highly resistant to aging. In addition to the undeniable aesthetic benefit of this grass tile, there is also a clear ecological advantage. Since the underside of the tile is largely open (53%), the tile has a self-draining function by allowing water to seep into the underlying soil. In fact, this permeability is an aspect that appeals to cities and municipalities in their efforts to use as little paved surfaces as possible in the future and give preference to draining pavements to relieve the burden on existing sewage systems.  

A nice addition to the existing range

MatGeco, a division of the Insulco Group, has a solid reputation with garden contractors, government agencies and outdoor designers. Its product portfolio includes synthetic turf and gravel tiles, drainage solutions, green roof products, weed cloths and non-woven geotextiles. 

In particular, the range of fine-textured tiles includes several specific products. For example, RitterDal Grass slab was the very first grass slab with a honeycomb structure, which makes it unique: the joints are invisible thanks to the open edges. It is also available in an XXL version. RitterDal gravel is the gravel version. GravelGrid is the large plate with closed bottom used to stabilize gravel. RoadEdgePave is a reinforcement plate for roadsides, both in straight lines and curves. All products are made in Germany, an unmistakable guarantee of quality. 

To enable the craftsman to choose from the wide range of quality grass and gravel tiles the solution that best meets the specifics of his project and guarantee perfect execution, a team of competent specialists is available to provide assistance and sound technical advice.
