Key
Advantages:
* No skilled labour needed for module laying
* Substantial reduction in laying time and consequently in overall costs
* Perfect trading surface, immutable in time
* Adaptable to the ground morphology
* Suitable for “do-it-yourself” paving
* Aesthetically excellent final result; the joints between the modules
remain invisible and the paving looks as if laid by skilled stonemasons
* The finished paving will be stable, self draining and self-locking
Areas
of application:
OUTDOOR DÉCOR
Boulevards and squares with light vehicle and pedestrian traffic, parking
sites, parks and gardens, industrial areas.
BUILDING INDUSTRY
Residential and commercial building industry: courtyards, drive ways,
paths, car parks
INTERIOR USES
Residential and commercial building industry: interiors, garages and
common areas, entries, porches, stairs and entrances
Technical characteristics:
MESH
* Flexible and adaptable to the ground morphology
* Resistant to temperature changes
* Resistant to chemical substances
* Ability to re-lay the paving modules both temporarily during maintenance
and/or for other applications and usage
* Disposal as for normal plastic materials. The characteristics of the
mesh change according to the specific application and use.
ADHESIVE
* Synthetic adhesive, flexible and with a strong anchoring power
* Stable against climate changes
* Ecological, disposal as for normal inert, without particular environmental
issues
Laying
method:
SUBSTRATE
The substrate must be structurally stable and conform to standards for
conventional paving. Using split 5mm rock/sand grain to a depth of 10-15
cm.
The layer should have the same slope as foreseen for the finished paving
layout having a sufficient height for the bedding layer and the paving
itself.
The surface where the paving is to be laid must have adequate edging
(kerbs, binders, etc) with gaps to allow water flow.
The bedding is the stratum on which the modules are laid.
On the base layer spread a bedding layer of thickness 5/6 cm of sand
grain size 0/7 mm and carefully level maintaining the appropriate slope.
LAYING THE PAVING MODULES
On the levelled bedding layer, place the modules according to the prearranged
layout (traditional or customized). Once the installation is completed,
fill the gaps (grout) between the units with a suitable type of sand.
Tamp and level the modules with a lightweight compactor machine using
sufficient water to enable the sand to fill the gaps.
INTERNAL APPLICATIONS
For internal paving the module can be laid using regular ceramic systems
and adhesives.
