Dekkflis and Dekorflis

Nature-based cover for traffic-adjacent environments.

Ecostrada™ Dekkflis and Dekorflis combine natural raw material, visual quality and dust-absorbing function in green areas, roundabouts, road shoulders and urban spaces.

Nature-based biomass and chip material from Norwegian spruce
Dekkflis™
Dekkflis™

An aesthetic and beneficial alternative to traditional cover bark.

Provides a natural, muted expression suited to road cuttings, shoulders, roundabouts and other traffic-adjacent green surfaces.

Use cases
  • Road cuttings and shoulders
  • Roundabouts and verges
  • Sloping terrain and robust green surfaces
  • Forest-floor plants, heather and low planting
Benefits
  • Gradually shifts from golden to weathered silver-grey color.
  • Has natural variation and movement in the biomass.
  • Retains moisture well in the soil and can reduce weed growth.
  • Lies stable, also on relatively steep slopes.
  • Produced from Norwegian spruce and developed for long durability.
  • Well suited to forest-floor plants such as bilberry, honeysuckle and different heather varieties.
  • Biodegradable ground cover with documented environmental benefits.
  • Refers to testing and documentation work from NIBIO.
  • Competitive on price and delivery models.
Dust-absorbing function

The biomass contains resin and other natural binders. With Dust-Binder™, the material gains better adhesive properties for traffic-related dust close to the road. The function is developed to capture and store airborne dust and microplastics near the source.

Lush natural surface with plants and biomass
Dekorflis™
Dekorflis™

Nature's most beautiful cover.

Gives outdoor areas a more lush and decorative expression, with colors, structure and natural materials that can be combined with heather, berry bushes and low ornamental plants.

Use cases
  • Selected road stretches and roundabouts
  • Decorative fields in infrastructure environments
  • Traffic-adjacent outdoor areas with high visual value
  • Combination with heather, berry bushes and low ornamental plants
Benefits
  • Creates a unique, lush expression with decorative colors.
  • Adds texture and aesthetics in hard traffic environments.
  • Preserves moisture and can help suppress weed growth.
  • Stable cover developed to keep structure over time.
  • Stable and low-maintenance cover that retains color and structure season after season.
  • Often combined with heather, berry bushes and other low ornamental plants for a living environment.
Dust-absorbing function

The biomass contains resin and other natural binders. With Dust-Binder™, the material gains better adhesive properties for traffic-related dust close to the road. The function is developed to capture and store airborne dust and microplastics near the source.

Shared properties

Cover with more than one function.

The chip products should provide a natural expression while also forming part of the environmental work in traffic-adjacent projects.

Particulate capture

Dekkflis and Dekorflis contain resin and other natural binders. With added Dust-Binder™, the biomass gains better adhesive properties that can capture and store traffic-related airborne dust and microplastics near the source.

Nature's cycle

The raw materials are natural by-products that are otherwise used only to a limited degree. By refining them into cover for roadsides and urban spaces, the material enters a more circular, nature-based value chain.

Tenders and environmental value

The materials can be included as relevant environmental measures in projects where aesthetics, maintenance, particulate handling and documentable sustainability are assessed together.

Price and delivery

Raw material, processing, logistics and establishment are set up for favorable total prices and competitive delivery models.

Comparison

Traditional cover bark versus Dekkflis and Dekorflis.

Editorial draft

Raw material

Traditional cover bark

Traditional natural cover, often used as passive ground cover.

Dekkflis™ / Dekorflis™

Nature-based by-products from Norwegian spruce, refined for traffic-adjacent environments.

Visual expression

Traditional cover bark

Dark, familiar expression with limited variation.

Dekkflis™ / Dekorflis™

Dekkflis develops a golden to silver-grey patina; Dekorflis adds more color and texture.

Particulate capture

Traditional cover bark

Not assessed as an active particulate capture material in this basis.

Dekkflis™ / Dekorflis™

Natural binders and Dust-Binder™ are developed to bind traffic dust.

Moisture and weeds

Traditional cover bark

Can contribute as ground cover, depending on quality, thickness and maintenance.

Dekkflis™ / Dekorflis™

Retains moisture well and can contribute to reduced weed growth.

Terrain

Traditional cover bark

Stability depends on slope, substrate and execution.

Dekkflis™ / Dekorflis™

Developed to remain stable, also on relatively steep terrain.

Documentation

Traditional cover bark

Standard reference product, without Ecostrada-specific technical basis.

Dekkflis™ / Dekorflis™

The input refers to testing and documentation from NIBIO for Dekkflis.

Durability and maintenance

Traditional cover bark

Depends on selected quality, exposure and maintenance regime.

Dekkflis™ / Dekorflis™

Developed for long durability, stable structure and limited maintenance in traffic-adjacent environments.

Price and delivery

Traditional cover bark

Cost and delivery depend on standard product flow and local availability.

Dekkflis™ / Dekorflis™

Competitive on price and delivery models through nature-based raw materials and adapted establishment.
