The urban tile Trébol interprets nature with a highly poetic intentionality in a hexagonal tessellation. The pavement made of Vibrazolit® concrete is used to pave sidewalks with extraordinary versatility. The low relief in the form of ribs, which entirely covers the surface of the leaves, as well as the curvature acquired from the limbus part to drain the water, provide excellent anti-slip conditions, as well as a comfortable footstep.
Designed to integrate into public parks and urban gardens, the Trébol design ensures good performance and proper aging.
Connecting three tiles through the central vein creates a clover (trèbol, in Spanish), and this pattern can be repeated to cover an area with a botanical-inspired design. This innovative tile is the evolution of the trilobed leaf tile made of UHPC, deserving of the 2018 Gold Delta Award from ADI-FAD.
Relief and texture are achieved with an elastomer mould bottom, while colour and tonality are achieved by the combination of aggregates, inorganic colourants, additives, and high strength white or grey cement.
The tiles sit on a rigid concrete slab of 15 to 18 cm, designed for pedestrian use with ocasional vehicle traffic service, poured on a soil sub-base.
