What Is No Fines Concrete
What is no fines concrete?
A straight answer from the crew that designs, makes and installs permeable concrete across Australia.
Rain goes straight through, not across
What is no fines concrete? Short answer: permeable concrete is poured with 20 to 26 percent connected voids, so water passes through the material itself instead of running off it. That is the whole trick, and it is why councils count it toward permeable area requirements.
The longer answer is on this page: how the surface works, what it can take, and where it makes sense. If you would rather just ask us about your site, the form below goes straight to an estimator.
What the poured surface gets you
The whole surface drains
130 to 170 litres per minute per square metre, through the material itself.
Built for traffic
20 to 25 MPa mixes, trafficable to AS 3727.1, with a P4 slip rating.
Poured in a day
Our crews place 500 square metres and more in a day, as one visit.
Counts as permeable area
A drainage surface that helps meet council permeable area requirements on new builds and extensions.

Common questions
What is no fines concrete?+
Permeable concrete is poured with connected voids through its full depth, so water passes through the material itself rather than running off. That is what separates it from conventional concrete, which sheds nearly everything that lands on it.
How much rain can it actually take?+
The material accepts 130 to 170 litres per minute per square metre. Australian storms do not get close to that, which is why finished surfaces show no puddles and no sheet of water heading for the street.
Will council count it as permeable area?+
Many councils set a minimum permeable area for new builds and extensions, and a permeable concrete surface is a drainage surface designed for exactly that. Requirements differ between councils, so tell us where the job is and we will talk through what yours asks for.
What does it cost?+
It depends on the area, the access and what is there now. Larger areas favour a poured surface because our crews place it in one visit. We quote after seeing the site, and if a different surface genuinely suits your job better we will tell you that.
