For the past several years, the MN Pollution Control Agency has presented the Eco Experience at the Minnesota State Fair. An Eco House is built within the exhibit each year, using a variety of green building techniques and materials.

Borgert Products had the pleasure of donating and installing the permeable pavers for the 2009 Eco House patio.

A permeable paver installation is one of the most effective and economical ways to provide a solid surface while letting water through. Rainwater flows through the void openings between the pavers, eliminating the runoff problem associated with regular pavement types.

Borgert's Aqua-Bric pavers are not only water-friendly, but pedestrian-friendly as well. The smooth, flat surface created using Aqua-Bric meets ADA standards and is a superior choice for areas with high foot traffic – even for pedestrians in high heels or wheelchairs. Aqua-Bric also has the strength to stand up to heavy vehicular traffic and outperforms other systems in the freeze/thaw cycles of our region's harsh climate.
