Only 38mm thick
Needs clipping together with supplied ‘nails’
Has an integrated ground spike making fitting very difficult, almost
impossible in hard ground or if roots are prevalent
Clip system is non-fixed making vertical lift likely resulting in separation
Ground spike creates lifting in most conditions allowing debris to undermine
the surface causing lifting and deterioration
Needs clipping together
Only 40mm thick
Polyolefin
Only 40mm
Only 4mm wall thickness
Only 40mm
Only 4mm wall thickness
4.14kg/m2
Poor quality locking system
Only 53% void
High installation time/cost
Excessively visible
Needs a retaining edge
Larger tile, rectangular. Less elastomeric surface
Impossible to unclip without full excavation
Needs retaining spikes making installation far more difficult
Only 38mm tile depth available, therefore less gravel or soil compaction
rates.
Wall thickness of 3.5mm.
500mm x 500mm tile, less elastomeric, more prone to lifting
No pads or other accessories.
Clip system not as secure as Ecogrid, poor copy on the original, easily
pulled apart.
Less load bearing capacity than Ecogrid E50.
Only 4 tiles per square metre, less able to settle to ground conditions.
The greatest problem when one chooses to purchase an inferior product
is the fact that there is a strong likelihood of the grid lifting if
not securely ‘locked’ together. If it does lift then the
surface ingresses under the base which further exacerbates the problem.
As the surface lifts, more material is deposited resulting in not only
an aesthetic problem but a practical and health and safety issue. A
lot of tiles cannot be ‘snagged’ and require the lifting
of a large surface area in order to fix what may be a small problem.
