The Alkern 2024 regional catalogs reveal a host of new products for exterior design

By advocating this offer, with references more adapted to local architectural styles and climatic conditions, Alkern also ensures to favor short circuits since remember that the industrialist has 55 production sites on the national territory.

If these three new 2024 works (North-Central-East, South-East and Grand-West) display the same organizational logic with chapters devoted in turn to the garden, the swimming pool, decoration and accessories, let us specify that Alkern has initiated real work on the quality of the images staged. A bias which also allows us to expose the breadth of the ranges, the harmony of textures and styles so that everyone can find inspiration for the creation of their exterior. Note, moreover, that these new editions are also intended to be didactic and educational, thanks to the valuable advice distilled in the “technical”, “implementation and maintenance” pages, but also via the integration of a double-page dedicated to the albedo effect. A pictogram has also been created to find, throughout the catalogs, Alkern products with an albedo value, ensuring walking comfort and a reduction of up to 5°C in the temperature felt. Finally, let us mention that the manufacturer also wanted to strengthen the promotion of new products and that they are still proving to be plural for 2024, of which here is a selection.

Multifunctional, the Aquafil permeable paving stone is particularly ecological and aesthetic. Its specific formulation ensures, in fact, in situ and almost immediate infiltration of rainwater, thus avoiding the formation of puddles such as saturation of the networks, while reducing the risk of falling (measured permeability coefficients of K > 17.700 l /s/ha or 1,77*10^-3 m/s). Traffic class T3- (between 50 and 100 heavy goods vehicles per day), it can therefore be implemented on roads and parking areas for light vehicles, pedestrian zones, esplanades, public squares, sidewalks, schoolyards. Let us also mention its small joint width (2-4 mm), perfectly suited to the circulation of People with Reduced Mobility. Aquafil is available in two colors: Gray and White (which, in this version, ensures light reflection to generate less heat on the roads, especially since it can be associated with an irrigation system, water stored in the pores participating in the cooling of the soil by evaporation).
