Each lightweight slab covers 1.5 square feet and locks securely into place, creating a stable surface suitable for both temporary and permanent use. With the ability to bear loads of up to 100 tons per square foot, Eco Slab is strong enough for driveways, parking areas, patios, walkways, and event flooring. Only the slotted (permeable) version is available, ensuring excellent drainage and long‑term performance in all weather conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFast Installation for Temporary or Permanent Projects\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEco Slab installs quickly and dismantles just as easily, making it ideal for exhibitions, fairs, and short‑term events. On firm, level ground, the tiles can be used immediately; on soft or soggy soil, a roll‑out geogrid is recommended beneath the slabs. For permanent applications such as driveways or amenity areas, Eco Slab performs best when installed over a compacted stone base with a geotextile separation layer and a 1‑inch bedding layer of sharp sand or grit. The interlocking hooks ensure a secure fit, and the hexagonal shape allows for easy trimming with standard woodworking tools when edge adjustments are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOrdering, Coverage, and Freight Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll orders require a minimum of 72 tiles (108 sq ft), with optional add‑on packs of six tiles for additional coverage. One full pallet includes 354 slabs and covers 531 square feet. Shipping costs shown at checkout are estimates; your actual freight cost will be calculated after purchase. We will contact you to adjust the difference by crediting or debiting your card. If you prefer an exact freight quote before ordering, you’re welcome to call us at (231) 399‑0700 Ext. 7.

Machining generally leads to higher tool wear, so carbide‑tipped tools are recommended. Because recycled profiles have a closed surface, machining may reveal a honeycomb‑like core structure, which is normal for this material. Some products are reinforced with steel and are labeled accordingly; these should not be cut or sawn to length or width. Any chips produced during machining should be collected with an appropriate extraction system so they can be reused.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- END tabs --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hahn Plastics","offers":[{"title":"Brown - Base Pack of 72 Tiles (108 SF)","offer_id":50993232642354,"sku":null,"price":810.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray -  Base Pack of 72 Tiles (108 SF)","offer_id":50993232675122,"sku":null,"price":755.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown - Add On Pack of 6 Tiles (9 SF)","offer_id":50995242664242,"sku":null,"price":67.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray - Add On Pack of 6 Tiles (9 SF)","offer_id":50995242631474,"sku":null,"price":62.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown -  Full Pallet (1-4 Pallets) 354 Tiles\/Pallet; 531 SF\/Pallet","offer_id":51035877048626,"sku":null,"price":3701.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray -  Full Pallet (1-4 Pallets) 354 Tiles\/Pallet; 531 SF\/Pallet","offer_id":51035877081394,"sku":null,"price":3448.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown -  Full Pallet (5-9 Pallets) 354 Tiles\/Pallet; 531 SF\/Pallet","offer_id":50995250823474,"sku":null,"price":3455.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray -  Full Pallet (5-9 Pallets) 354 Tiles\/Pallet; 531 SF\/Pallet","offer_id":50995250856242,"sku":null,"price":3219.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown -  Full Pallet (10+ Pallets) 354 Tiles\/Pallet; 531 SF\/Pallet","offer_id":50995250889010,"sku":null,"price":3239.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gray -  Full Pallet (10+ Pallets) 354 Tiles\/Pallet; 531 SF\/Pallet","offer_id":50995250921778,"sku":null,"price":3017.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/7897\/6562\/files\/eco_slab_image4.jpg?v=1773934863","url":"https:\/\/eco-buildingproducts.com\/products\/hanit-eco-slabs","provider":"Eco-Building Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
