Flyt's Scandi-Cool Paving System Sparks Ecstatic Joy at Nidagravel HQ
We LOVE Hexagons!

At Nidagravel HQ, our affection for hexagons and sustainable drainage is practically written in the stars. So the discovery of a permeable paving system in Norway that combines both elements left us not just super happy, but downright ecstatic, cue the clapping hands and a collective burst of joy! Hurray!

Enter Flyt, the brainchild of the innovative minds at Asak and Norwegian architects, a permeable marvel that embodies Scandi-cool. Let's not forget to mention its name, FLYT, which resonates with a certain Ikea charm, oh, and the Norwegians behind it. They essentially designed the heck out of it!! Of course, it had to be hexagonal, much like our beloved hexagonal gravel stabilisation range. The brilliance lies in the variable spaces between the blocks, allowing for not just uber cool aesthetically pleasing designs but, more crucially, enhanced permeability tailored to project requirements. Finally, a thoughtful approach to permeable surfacing design that makes us want to star jump at Trolltunga (google it - it's spectacular)!

Imagine the visual spectacle of combining Flyt block paving with Nidagravel and Nidagrass is a recipe for truly stunning landscapes that redefine outdoor spaces. The permeability boost even extends a welcoming hand to street trees, ensuring they receive the water they need. And let's not forget its seamless transition between surfaces is a design aspect that we genuinely appreciate.

Currently, the uber-chic hexagonal permeable block paving is a Norwegian delight, but our hearts are set on a future where it graces the landscapes of the UK. Now why don't you take a second and sit back in your imaginary Scandi armchair and picture landscape architects weaving their magic, creating super permeable outdoor spaces that incorporate products like Flyt, Nidagravel, and Nidagrass grids are the epitome of sustainability in urban design. Fantastisk!

With each remarkable discovery, the thought of relocating to Norway starts to feel like a good idea at Nidagravel HQ. Who wouldn't want to embrace the Disney Frozen-esque Nordic lifestyle, adorned in stylish muted tones, sipping hot chocolate, indulging in daily Hygge rituals, and perhaps commuting to work on a reindeer? In the spirit of our Norwegian counterparts, we might even adopt their wise mantra: 'There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.' Norwegians, you've won our hexagonal hearts!
