5. installation mortar set use laticrete 254r platinum rapid or approved alternate. use laticrete 253 in heat over 95 degrees. back-butter each paver to ensure 100% coverage and adhesion. blend pavers from several crates to enhance natural variations. maintain a grout joint no less than 0.5% of long side of paver. grout pavers using quality sanded grout such as laticrete permacolor, an impregnating or grout release prior can help. be diligent in removing any adhesive or grout from surface before drying. also follow adhesive and grout manufacturer’s application instructions. protect floor with ramboard and masonite to prevent damage from site debris or staining. sand set spread the bedding evenly over the base. course the screed to a nominal 1” thickness. do not exceed 1 1/14” thickness. compact the sand bed. rake and re-screed. lay the precast paving unit on top of screed sand in the pattern as specified. use 1/8” spacers to maintain joint. check sand bed for deviations in elevation that exceed +/-3/8” (10mm) over 10’ (3m). any lipping > 1/8” should be addressed prior to vibration/compaction. cover paver with an isolation layer to prevent cracking when compacting. use low amplitude, high frequency plate vibrator to compact the pavers into the sand bed. maintain 1/4” (6mm) joints fill joints with polymeric sand per astm c144. mock-up for large format pavers sand set
