What are Priora Chippings?
Priora chippings, also known as Aquaflow chippings, are precisely graded limestone or granite aggregates engineered specifically for permeable paving and SUDS applications. Available in multiple size grades (2-6mm, 4-20mm, 10-63mm), these angular chippings provide optimal void space for water infiltration while maintaining structural stability, making them the specified choice for leading permeable paving manufacturers.
