INSTALL GUIDE
INSTALLATION GUIDE DRY LAYING ON GRASS 1. Preparing the substrate 2. Laying surface • Arrange the slabs on the ground to decide the layout, and for “stepping stone” walkways, the pace length, so that the slabs are placed at regular intervals. • Add a layer of gravel to provide an even, stable substrate. A layer of at least 3 cm of gravel with particle size over 4 mm is recommended. • Mark out the edge of each slab with the aid of a spade.
INSTALLATION GUIDE DRY LAYING ON GRAVEL 1. Base preparation 2. Laying surface • Excavate to a depth of 7 ¾" to 9 ¾" for sandy soil or 9 ¾" to 13 ¾" for clay soil. • Compact the base material to ensure void space has been minimized to prevent future settling. • Ensure the perimeter of the excavated area extends 6"-8" beyond the perimeter of the final pavement and that the excavated area is sloped at least 2% (1/4" per 12") away from structures.
INSTALLATION GUIDE DRY LAYING ON SAND 1. Preparing the substrate 2. Laying surface • Create a layer of sand at least 5-10 cm deep and level it carefully. • The tiles are laid on the substrate. 3. Laying the slabs 4. Joints • Arrange the slabs in the chosen layout. • The gaps between the slabs should be chosen depending on the overall appearance required.
INSTALLATION GUIDE LAYING ON SCREED WITH ADHESIVE Instructions for laying with adhesive Non-waterproofed outdoor pavings. 5. Preparing the substrate 3. 4. For paving areas for use by vehicles: • Create a substrate of compacted hard core followed by a layer of gravel, with the addition of lean concrete if wished - Loose stone foundation • Add a levelling layer of concrete of suitable thickness. A gradient of between 1.25 and 2.
INSTALLATION GUIDE LAYING WITH ADHESIVE 1. Laying the slabs 2. Joints Install the slabs using an outdoor adhesive, following the specific instructions for the adhesive used (C2S2 under EN 12004). To ensure that the laying material is evenly compacted, the double coating method should be used (this method is necessary for pavings exposed to high levels of stress). Slabs must be laid with open joints of variable width of no less than 5 mm. 3 .Structural joints 4.
INSTALLATION GUIDE RAISED PAVING SYSTEM Paver tile applications on raised pedestals comprise the following basic components: 2CM porcelain paver tile, pedestals and various additional parts (edging profiles, anti-fragmentation systems and others). Raised paver tile assemblies on pedestals can be installed in a variety of applications including on and above grade concrete floors, over roof decks in conjunction with certified roofing membranes, plaza decks, pool decks and a variety of other possibilities.
INSTALLATION GUIDE RAISED PAVING SYSTEM Instructions for installing raised pavings Over existing living areas, assure waterproofed roof assembly has been constructed as per building code (a link to our Mapei instructions for waterproofing would be good here) Place pedestals directly on to the waterproof layer and place tiles with appropriate joint spacers on to pedestals. 1. 20mm porcelain paver tile 2. Pedestals 3. Waterproofing layer 4. Substrate 1. 2. 3. 4.
