Laying of Paving
The area should be leveled to approximately 80mm below the required finished level. If crusher run is required, further excavation must be done to allow for this. Where the area was previously planted or grassed, a proprietary weed killer should be applied.
The sub-base must be compacted by means of a roller or plate compactor.
A 25mm layer of river sand, laid and screeded to receive the paver. It is preferable to mix cement into the dry sand at a ratio of one pocket to 30m2.
The paving is laid close but joint using rubber mallet to bed the pavers.
The underside of the Hexagonal pavers has a patented recess to allow even bedding of the pavers. It is not recommended to use plates compactor over the finished pavers as this may cause damage to the topping.
The perimeter of the paving should be retained by means of a concrete beam and haunch.
When laying hexagonal pavers in areas that are not regular or parallel it is advisable to use an elite brick border on a concrete bed to retain the edge.
