Polymer v Concrete

So the next question is; should I choose a Polymer or Concrete system? Depending on the application, one may be more appropriate than the other. Here are the benefits for both products.

Polymer Concrete
  • Non-Corrosive: no metal so it won’t rust and is resistant to harmful chemicals
  • Easy to deliver and install: It’s lightweight material means it can be moved around onsite by hand
  • Very resistant to cracking
  • Water tight and non-porous: won’t leak or become contaminated
  • Aesthetically more appealing in a backyard setting
  • Durable and strong
  • Can be installed in trafficable situations
  • Less likely to float
  • Higher effluent levels
  • Better in clay soils where there is a lot of expansion and contractions
  • More resistant to damage
Ideal for:

Rural homes, bed & breakfast, hotels and retail sites, schools, universities and caravan parks

 Ideal for:

Commercial applications, trafficable areas such as service stations, high flood-risk areas, locations where soil will not allow for Polymer
