BG-FILCOTEN light mini

Robust, dimensionally stable and yet still light enough for urban green and open space construction – the FILCOTEN light. Our compact and cost-effective channel system for versatile applications offers you all of the advantages of FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) material. It can be laid with paving stones, tiles and other surfaces and is resilient up to class C 250 (in accordance with EN 1433). This system is also available in a shallower construction height as the FILCOTEN light mini.

BG-FILCOTEN

when opposites

attract great things

 

FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) is a material that unites outstanding technical properties with ecological sustainability. The optimised high-density structure of HPC makes it possible to construct extremely stable lightweight drainage channels – but it’s the idea behind it that makes it unique. 

Unique concept, revolutionary results. 
Our engineers wanted to bring together two extremes:
maximum performance with minimum environmental impact. 

Maximum performance, minimal environmental impact. 
After intensive development, they finally achieved their goal. FILCOTEN HPC
embodies these opposites, making it unique in the market.
