The Netherlands: a land shaped by water

Water helps make the Netherlands beautiful. We enjoy it, but it also brings challenges. Sometimes there is too much water; at other times, too little. As rainwater finds it increasingly difficult to infiltrate the ground, groundwater levels continue to fall, including in residential areas.

At the same time, heavy rainfall is causing increasing problems. Excess water trapped in the sand bedding beneath paving can make the sub-base unstable. In freezing winter conditions, it can also cause frost heave, resulting in unwanted settlement.

ROMFIX drainage bedding mortar contributes to the solution. Its void content of 15 to 20% ensures extremely high water permeability. Water infiltrates deeper into the ground to replenish groundwater, while the sub-base beneath your paving remains stable, strong and water-permeable.
