  • Which side up should the boards be installed?
At planted areas the diffusions holes should point upwards. Under paved or boarded areas the diffusion holes should be pointing downwards.
  • Why do you recommend a draining layer shaped on both sides?
A double moulded layer ensures that there are two ways for air to get in and water to get out enhancing the efficiency of drainage and ventilation.
