25 CLEANERS & SEALANTS Cleaners are products used in removing stains caused by motor-oil, grease, rust, tar, rubber or paint stains, as well as efflorescence and ground-in dirt. Sealants are specially designed to protect pavers and slabs made of concrete or natural stone. They reduce oil and dirt penetration, and make cleaning easier. Contact Expocrete or a local distributor of these products for advice on what cleaner or sealant would work best for you. POLYMERIC JOINT SANDS Polymeric Jointing Sand is a high-tech mix of graded sand and binder, specially formulated for the filling of narrow or wide joints when installing pavers, slabs or natural stone. This sand remains stable and is effective in resisting water erosion, frost, wind, street sweepers and inhibits weed growth and insect infestation. Polymeric jointing sand is applied dry and hardens after wetting. RG POLYMERIC SAND: Colours: Ochre / Tan & Granite / Grey Bag: 30 kg / 66 lbs Area Covered/Bag: 6-9 m sq ft Required quantity will depend on the shape and size of the pavers or slabs, and on the width of joints. Temperature should be above 15ºC when applying. Granite / Grey HP POLYMERIC SAND: Colours: Ochre / Tan This High-Performance mix made of specially formulated polymers is ideal for heavy-traffic areas such as pool decks, sloped driveways and public ways. It is recommended for the replacement of existing joints. Temperatures should be above 5ºC when applying. Ochre / Tan 25

26 PAVING STONE LIGHT SYSTEMS Paver lights are a safe, economical 12-volt system that can be applied to residential and commercial applications in new or existing interlock installations. See our web site for more details and patterns. 4x8 PAVER LIGHT: 4x8 Lights are sold individually or in kits of 8. Each kit contains paver light fixtures and lenses, sockets, 4 watt bulbs, wire connectors, 50 feet of outdoor wire, transformer and instructions. The transformer can power up to 22 4 watt fixtures. 6x6 PAVER LIGHT: 6x6 Lights are sold individually or in kits of 8. Each kit contains paver light fixtures and lenses, sockets, 7 watt bulbs, wire connectors, 50 feet of outdoor wire, transformer and instructions. The transformer can power up to 12 7 watt fixtures. 26

27 PAVING STONE EDGE RESTRAINTS All paving stone applications require an edge restraint to prevent lateral movement. Even patio slabs need the protection of a secure edge restraint. Paving stone edge restraints are easy to install using a common 8-12 landscape spike. See our web site for more details and patterns.

28 INSTALLATION GUIDE 1. Create Outline The first step is to take your completed design and transfer it onto the ground where you will be installing your patio. You can use spray paint to mark the outline, using a garden hose for guidance on the curved areas and long boards for the straight areas. 2. Set Elevations Next, use a 2x4, stakes and level to set the slope of your patio (a slope of approximately 1 to every 8 ft. is usually ideal.) Now, set your stakes, and string lines to mark the top of finished patio. Please refer to the Depth Estimation Chart. 3. Excavate Using your grid work for stakes and guide strings, excavate material below the string lines to the depth needed. To determine depth, refer to chart. Note: Before any digging, contact your local utility companies for the location and depth of pipes, cables and conduits. 4. Spread Granular Base You are now ready to spread and compact the coarse granular base. 28

29 5. Compact Base The granular base should be leveled and compacted (use a plate compactor) in layers of not more than 4. Wet, but do not soak the gravel base while compacting. Level the base to approximately 3 below the desired surface level. Make sure the base is level and conforms to the shape and elevation of the finished job by measuring down from the string lines. 6. Install Edge Restraint To prevent lateral movement of the pavers, edge restraints should be installed on compacted base along all edges which would otherwise be unrestrained. If possible install edging only on one of two sides of the paving area. After pavers have been placed, install remainder of edging so as to avoid unnecessary cutting. 7. Spread Bedding Sand Begin screeding (spreading) a 1 layer of sand; this layer is called the sand bed. Use a large grained sand such as concrete sand. Lay screed guides (1 pipe, electric conduit or wood strips) onto the compacted base. Now fill the area with sand and slide the 8 and 10 foot screen board along the guides causing the sand to become smooth and level. Once this is complete, pull out the screed guides and fill voids with sand. Smooth out this sand with a trowel or small board. Do not walk on or work from the screeded sand. 8. Lay Pavers After screeding the sand you can begin laying your pavers, using the area s straightest edge as your starting point. Pick a starting point where you can make the pavers fit against the longest straight edge or the longest combination of straight edges as long as they are at right angles to each other. 29

30 INSTALLATION GUIDE 9. Keep Pavers Square Use a string line running in both directions as your guide. This is easily done by measuring out lines in multiples of 3, 4, and 5 with the line marked three remaining stationary during the squaring process. (See diagram below.) Line four should be moved until four and five intersect, causing a right angle in the three-four corner. If your pavers start to get off square, you can get them into proper position by gently tapping them towards the string line. 10. Cut To Fit Many of the pavers that butt into the soldier course (strip of pavers all facing the same direction) will need to be cut to fit properly. Using a concrete saw or guillotine splitter, cut each paver separately marking it, removing it, cutting it and placing it before proceeding to the next one. Install the soldier course as you go along. 11. Compact Patio Sweep off the surface completely and use the plate compactor to tamp the pavers to a uniform level. Run the compactor in a parallel direction, across the pavers, overlapping on each pass. Make a second series of passes in a perpendicular direction. 12. Spread Sand Sweep dry concrete sand* or polymeric jointing sand** into all spaces between the finished pavers, repeating the process until all joints between the pavers are filled. Repeat this process with more dry sand in a few days. *Do not use masonry or fine sand. **Polymeric jointing sand requires a few extra steps. Please contact your local dealer for more information. 30
