SF-Sand
What is SF-Sand?
SF-Sand is a mixture of soils (sand, granite soil) and urethane resin binder, a natural colored landscaping pavement material taking advantage of soft coloring of soil.

Promenade in the remains of Jyohmon era in San-nai Aomori->
Features
  • As the color is just like the used soil, a pavement of matching the natural environment is realized.
  • As some free soil grains remain after opening for use, appearence is just like natural soil.
  • As it is water permeable, no puddle is generated in the time of rains.
  • Pot holes in winter season are hard to be generated. Moreover, almost no corrosion of soils occurs.
  • With adequate hardness, feeling of foot touchs is soft.
Where to use?
  • Walking lanes
    foot paths, lanes in parks and garden.
    courses for jogging
  • Peripherals of Buildings
    Peripherals of
    schools, residences and housing-developments.
