Pratopratico® represents an ingenious system to make a lawn treadable, protecting it from damage caused by the transit and parking of vehicles, including heavy vehicles, in any kind of atmospheric conditions. The essence of Pratopratico® is very simple: it’s a question of “arming” the natural soil surface with a modular flooring made up of a grating with a highly robust cellular structure where the turf, which remains a few millimitres below the higher limit of the flooring walls, is protected from squashing or stress. The grating is made of a particular plastic material with high quality...

Advantages Functional and aesthetic viewpoint: The base module of this revolutionary flooring system presents a cellular structure that is prevalently trapezoidal and with curvilinear walls. This conformation, manufactured ad hoc, offers numerous advantages. • It respects the soil’s vital structure and protects the lawn in a non-invasive way. • It favours drainage and the exchange of nutritional elements that benefit a rapid and solid root growth. • It acts as a surface stabilizer; that is why Pratopratico® can be used to contrast soil wash away and erosion phenomena on slopes. • It gives...

Applications • Access areas for cars and motor vehicles; • Public and private parking areas in residential, directional, commercial, sports, industrial areas, etc: for example: schools, condominiums, banks, trade centres, companies, hotels, hospitals, etc.; • Bicycle tracks and pedestrian walkways; • Paths in golf courses and sport plants; • Equipped areas (gazebo and barbecuae areas, etc.); • Ornamental gardens; • Gravel paths. (Pratopratico®, prevents waste of crushed stone, makes maintenance elimination and definite reintegration possible); • Pool borders and beach paths (not presenting...

Dati prestazionali Material: Virgin heterophasic PP of excellent quality adapted to UV rays. Mechanical properties: Resistant to atmospheric agents: Excellent elastic qualities in the material, which guarantee resistance over time to temperature ranges. Excellent product response, when used in extremely rigid environmental conditions (-20°C); the grating does not lose its shape when used in the presence of very high temperature ranges. Reversibility: The grating presents a double and interchangeable profile: • thinner on one side destined to be treaded; • more prominent and ornamental on...

• Signalling elements (white, blue, yellow) to delimit parking and transit areas; These are available in the catalogue in the classic 3 colours provided by the Highway Code: white (free parking area), yellow (reserved parking area, for ex. parking spaces reserved for invalids) and blue. It is possible to manufacture colours ad hoc on request. • Deeply penetrating stakes to anchor the grating on slopes. Virgin Polypropylene adapted to UV rays; Signalling element dimensions Top: 8 cm 0 - Soil penetration: 10 cm Signalling element pieces per box 15 pz or multiple - weight 0,5 Kikg Anchorage...

Laying for treadable surfaces with lawn finishing Any kind of intervention should be carried out after preparing a suitable design. The factors that are taken into consideration during this phase are: • The site of intervention under a geological, morphological and geotechnical profile; • the use the product is destined for in terms of intensity and frequency of loading to which the flooring will be subjected (destined for pedestrians; light, medium, heavy traffic; other); • the exposure and climatic conditons of the site. With reference to the nature of the site, it is important to have a...

Laying for treadable surfaces with lawn finishing About 4 cm of soil About 5 cm of Pratopratico® About 3 cm of sand (optional) Permeable layer of about 5-7 cm. Supporting foundation Instead of the normal sedimentary dormant components referred to in the preceding paragraphs, it is sometimes possible and even suitable to improve the foundation’s water supply using inert volcanic material such as pumice sand and volcanic lapillo. The great advantage of these materials, which can be used in variable percentages, is that while they provide excellent drainage,they also guarantee high water...

The first example in the graph regards the most common case, that of creating a grassy path. The flooring must be developed in such a way so as to face the vehicle transit with the lower surface: thin ribs facing upwards in direct contact with the vehicle wheels. PHASES: 1. Face all the gratings in the same way, with the female hook in the upper left-hand corner; 2. The first grating is placed in the upper left-hand corner of the surface in need of flooring; 3. Proceed with the assembly of the various gratings according to the direction that is normally used for writing: from left to right...

Maintenance Once prepared, the treadable lawn surface needs periodic maintenance. Necessary interventions: irrigation, fertilization and cutting, no different from classic grass maintenance. Immediately after sowing and subsequent to it the soil must be watered regularly. For an excellent outcome and duration of the grass it would be best to provide a suitable automatic sprinkler irrigation system. With regard to mowing for the first time, it is best to wait until there is a consistent integration of the seedlings. While waiting for the lawn to grow to 6/7 cm, remove cut grass after mowing....
