BG-FILCOTEN light

Robust, dimensionally stable and yet still light enough for urban green and open space construction – the BG-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 lower construction height as BG-FILCOTEN light mini.

More stability

with the greatest of ease

Smooth surface

The surface of FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) is smoother than concrete, ensuring the best flow and self-cleaning characteristics.
+

Safety seam

A sealable safety seam enables a sealed connection between the individual segments
+

Anchoring pockets

The innovative FILCOTEN HPC production and moulding technology made it possible to design anchoring pockets for a concrete channel body for the very first time, ensuring an even better hold in the concrete bed.
+

Slot top – 2S Heelproof

Its double slot 2x6 mm construction makes the slot top heelproof as well as accessible to foot traffic and wheelchairs. It is available in nominal widths of 100 and 150, made from either galvanised steel or V2A stainless steel. Corrosion resistant and durable, no matter what material.
+

Slot top cover

When the design is as important as the function, the slot top is your first choice. It is ideal for architecturally demanding surfaces and its slot width of 12.5 or 2x6mm –fits perfectly into the alignment of slots on the surface. Suitable for FILCOTEN light and tec channels.

Technology

 

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.
