Thankfully though, that just means you get to spend even more time outside rectifying the situation and surprisingly, there\u2019s a relatively easy method. April has seen our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/21-permeable-paving\">X-Grid panels<\/a> flying off the shelves, not only to rectify the wrongs of winter, but also to improve outside spaces in preparation for summer evenings outside and the numerous family get-togethers that sunnier climes entail.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps our most common X-Grid projects of the last month have been domestic driveways \u2013 you may have noticed our case study section of the blog growing significantly thanks to the hard work of our customers, returning photos of their fantastic homes and gardens.

It\u2019s manufactured in the UK using 100% recycled plastic and it can be fully recycled again in the future, making it a super green solution for your garden.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 X-Grid is SUDS compliant and comply with all of the latest water management laws. This means the risk of flooding is significantly reduced as the open-cell design of the panels maintains and encourages natural drainage routes which consequently reduces the chances of surface water build up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 X-Grid can be used to create a unique patterned driveway (as can be seen below) just as easily as it can blend right in with the surrounding environment, which is why it\u2019s available in three colours \u2013 green, black and white \u2013 so whatever outdoor area you\u2019re looking to transform, X-Grid will fit right in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 X-Grid is a great alternative to tarmac and concrete, it\u2019s strong and durable, bearing weights of up to 420 tonnes per square metre and is resistant to chemicals, UV exposure and weather damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Finally, the list of applications is almost endless but perhaps the most popular are driveways, car parks, emergency access routes and pathways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/IMG_2508.jpg\" alt=\"X-Grid Product of Month2\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/IMG_2508.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/IMG_2508-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.matsgrids.co.uk\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/10\/IMG_2508-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There you have it, all the reasons our X-Grid has been April\u2019s best-selling product.
