1. the material concrete pavers are similar to natural stone tiles (rectified/uncalibrated) to suit our stated caliber and size range which vary less in facial dimension than natural stone. edges are mechanically cut to achieve a more precise rectified dimension. pavers are not calibrated nor fully gauged, requiring system components and setting methods in accordance with ansi a108.1 classified as natural stone tile. tonal variation is inherent and to be expected and should blend like stone tile. 2. handling + storage handle your consignment with care. inspect product carefully upon arrival. store crates indoors or cover to protect from elements. two crate maximum height. acclimate pavers to final installation environment for 48 hours. 3. mock-up per tcna guidelines, prepare a complete installation mock-up of the paver in its final environment. blend pavers from multiple crates to show tonal variations. mock-up should be grouted (if required), wet-scrubbed and sealed. mock-up should be reviewed and accepted prior to full installation.
4. substrate preparation mortar set substrate to be leveled to 1/8’’ (3mm) over 10’ (3m). clean all adhesives, grease, dirt and other contaminates from substrate. slab/screed should be cured to 4 % moisture content–use tramex meter or similar to test waterproofing membrane should be used with slab on grade or where moisture is present. waterproofing membrane should be used with slab on grade or where moisture is present. always follow adhesive manufacturer’s preparation instructions. honor all control joints in substrate. sand set substrate to be compacted to 98% standard proctor density per astm d698. ensure base is dry, uniform and ready to support paver unit. do not proceed with installation until substrate is satisfactory. pedestal set substrate to be properly prepared for pedestal paving units. verify elevations, pedestal heights, unit size and joint placement before proceeding. account for additional load support where items are to be placed on top of deck.
