What Capillary Concrete does

Capillary Concrete, operating as CapillaryFlow, is a privately held building-materials and subsurface irrigation technology company founded in 2003. It produces a patented pervious concrete material, branded as Capillary® Concrete, that moves water bidirectionally through a combination of capillary action and gravity by combining macropores with micropores in a polymer-bound binder. The company also sells Capillary® Hydroponics, a subsurface irrigation and drainage system that delivers water and air directly to the root zone, along with add-on products including Wash Box, Bunker Edge, Geothermal heating, Pervious Concrete, Turnouts for equestrian use, and the FlowTrack monitoring platform. The technology is engineered to regulate moisture in sand, soil, and turfgrass across climates, withstand pressure exceeding 1,000 PSI with a G-MAX safety rating of 90-115, and eliminate freeze-thaw damage and surface settling.

CapillaryFlow serves four primary end markets: golf courses (bunkers, greens, tees, fairways, cart paths) as the dominant segment; equestrian arenas (grass and sand arenas with irrigation and dust control); sports grounds (baseball, football, American football, tennis, training fields, arenas, stadiums); and green city/urban infrastructure projects. The company sells through direct website inquiries and a global certified partner network of architects, contractors, materials suppliers, and resellers, with all sales handled on a quote-based, contact-required basis. The company maintains dual headquarters in Loxahatchee, Florida (US) and Gothenburg, Sweden (Europe), and claims more than 1,000 installed venues worldwide. Named reference customers include Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri, Ozarks National, and the Ångfärjeparken Helsingborg municipal project in Sweden.

The company rebranded from Capillary Concrete to CapillaryFlow in 2023 to better represent its expanded product portfolio beyond concrete material into broader moisture-management solutions. Ownership structure, institutional investors, revenue figures, and funding history are not disclosed in available data, and the business operates with 11-50 employees. No public filings, M&A activity, or external financing events are present in the source material.

Core offering

CapillaryFlow manufactures and sells a patented pervious building material called Capillary® Concrete, which moves water bidirectionally through capillary action and gravity by combining macropores and micropores. The material is sold to golf courses, equestrian facilities, sports grounds, and urban green infrastructure projects, supported by complementary subsurface irrigation (Capillary® Hydroponics), geothermal heating, edge/wash-box add-ons, and the FlowTrack monitoring platform.

Product overview

CapillaryFlow (formerly Capillary Concrete) offers a platform of proprietary material science and irrigation solutions. The core product is the Capillary® Concrete Material, a patented building material that manages water through capillary action and gravity. This core technology is complemented by the Capillary® Hydroponics subsurface irrigation system and various add-on modules including Wash Box, Edge, Geothermal, Pervious Concrete, and Turnouts. The company also offers FlowTrack monitoring technology. Solutions span golf courses (bunkers, greens, tees, cart paths), equestrian arenas (grass and sand arenas with irrigation and dust control), sports grounds (baseball, football, American football, tennis), and green city infrastructure. The company rebranded from Capillary Concrete to CapillaryFlow in 2023 to reflect the broader portfolio.
