Product Description

For innovative, cost-effective, long-term solutions to modern horticulture and landscape design challenges, design professional Sustainable building practices and environmentally sound designs have become an increasingly important part of landscape design. For innovative, cost-effective, long-term solutions to modern horticulture and landscape design challenges, design professionals have turned to Light Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA). WHAT IS LECA? is lightweight, porous ceramic material produced by expanding and vitrifying select clay in a rotary kiln. The process produces a high quality ceramic aggregate that is structurally strong, physically stable, durable, environmentally inert, light in weight and highly insulative. It is a non-toxic, absorptive aggregate that is dimensionally stable and will not degrade over time. HOW CAN LECA ADD VALUE TO A LANDSCAPE DESIGN? Whether it is creating an ideal planting media for a rooftop garden, designing a soil for an athletic field or improving an existing soil to sustain a plant design, is the logical solution. DESIGN APPLICATIONS FOR LECA ROOFTOP GARDEN PLANTING MEDIA Combining with varying amounts of organic matter creates a lightweight planting media for intensive and/or extensive rooftop gardens. DESIGNER SOILS With soils can be created or altered to meet design specifications or address precise project requirements. Designer soils are often required for rooftop gardens,raised planters, containers and urban tree plantings. SOIL AMENDING Incorporatinginto heavy clay soil can provide permanent aeration and drainage within the root zone. can improve the properties and qualities of existing soils to meet the requirements of the landscape design. TURF is combined with peat, sand and other amendments to form root zone soil mixes for golf courses, athletic fields and related turf surfaces. It is also applied as topdressing over established turf. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT amended soil reduces surface runoff by permitting storm water to percolate and infiltrate the soil surface. Rain gardens, vegetated filter strips and turf pavers are examples of storm water management tools that benefit from. INFIELD CONDITIONER FOR BALL FIELDS Adding to the infield mix prevents the skinned surface from becoming hard and compacted. It also improves drainage, allowing the infield to dry out quickly after inclement weather, reducing down time. LIGHTWEIGHT FILL At nearly half the weight of common fills, LECA provides an ideal lightweight fill for backfilling retaining walls, reducing loads over structures or insulating thermally sensitive elements. Leca are produced from 0 to *5 mm and divided as these grade usually (**4) mm, (***0) mm, (****5) mm and mix grade ***5 mm which has **0 kg/m3 maxdensity, LECA boulder is a the bigger size of LECA with ******0 mm size and less than **0 kg/m3 density. ECA Limestone Sand Compare Equal Weight of Different Materials Light Expanded Clay Aggregate is available throughout the United State, Canada, Europe and ... is sold under various trade names, But the only producer in Middle East is LECA that is ready to any support.
