EXCAVATION 1.1

If pipes or wires are located in the area to be excavated, contact the representatives of the company concerned before the work is started.

1.2

To ensure sufficient drainage, excavate the soil to obtain a minimum incline of 2 % (20 mm/m or 1/4 inch per foot).

1.3

1.4

The excavation contour should extend beyond the surface to be paved by at least 300 mm (12”). Ideally, this distance should be 1 to 1 1/2 times the thickness of the foundation. The stability of the project depends on this measurement, which ensures that the paving stones at the edge will be as well supported as those in the centre. Level the bottom of the excavation with a rake and if the soil is sandy, compact it with a vibrating plate or roller. It is preferable not to pack clay soil at this stage. in this case, the use of a geotextile membrane placed between the natural soil and the foundation is recommended to prevent foundation contamination by clay and ensure greater stability. Refer to the chart “Excavation depth and minimum foundation” to get the minimum excavation required (Ref: photo #1).

LAYING THE PAVING STONES 5.1

Arrange the paving stones according to the pattern chosen with a 90° angle if possible. Proceed by walking on the paving stones (Ref: photo #6). Fill the holes left by the pipes.

5.2

Paving stones are manufactured with side spacers that will set a space of 3 mm (1/8”) between each paver. A space of 2 mm must be allowed for paving stones without spacers.

5.3

To obtain an even distribution of colour and texture, it is recommended that you choose paving stones from more than one cube at a time. Moreover, working across each cube always gives the best results.

5.4

Check the alignment of the pavers (after every five rows installed) and adjust them, if necessary, using a screwdriver.

5.5

Install paving stones up to the last row. To avoid having to cut paving stones later, determine the position of the curbs to finish with a complete paving stone.

5.6

If necessary, you can cut the paving stones using a cold chisel or specialized tools such as guillotine or a concrete saw (Ref: photo #7). It is recommended that you use a chalk line to mark the paving stones to be cut. If you have to use a guillotine to cut the stones, make sure that the cut is at a slight angle as pavers cut this way are much easier to install. If you use a concrete saw, keep away from the paving stones already installed, since the dust and dirt from the sawing will permanently stain them. Wear safety glasses when cutting concrete products.

5.7

On both sides of the paving surface, proceed with installing the Celtik curb, the Celtik Mega curb, the Anglia curb and the Melville curb (Ref: photo #8). You can also use Permapro Plastic Curb for small installations.

FOUNDATION 2.1

Spread and compact the 20-0 mm (0-3/4”) stone in 100 mm (4”) layers. Lightly water the 20-0 mm (0-3/4”) stone to make tamping easier. To ensure an adequate foundation, compact the stone several times with a vibrating plate, roller, or a jumping jack (Ref: photo #2). Once this stage is completed, you will be able to see what the final result will look like. You can verify the final level of the pavers by placing a paver on a guide. (Ref: photo #3) Refer to the typical installation drawings (see page 6).

CURB 3.1

Installing Universal® curb: Before you finish the foundation, proceed immediately with the installation of the Universal curb. Begin by installing the curb on one side. Before installing the curb on the other side, temporarily place a row of paving stones in order to determine the ideal distance and thus to determine the position of the other curbs and avoid having to cut pavers later. Installing Celtik curb, Celtik Mega curb and Anglia curb: To install these types of curbs, see step 5.7 of section 5 – Laying the paving stones.

FILLING THE JOINTS 6.1

INSTALLATION BED 4.1

Spread between 15 mm (5/8”) and 25 mm (1”) of concrete sand or screening (Ref: photo #4). Bear in mind that a 25 mm (1”) bed will be reduced down to 15 mm (5/8”) in thickness once compacting is completed and after the paving stones are installed.

4.2

Level the concrete sand using two (2) 25 mm (1”) diameter pipes and a straight plank (Ref: photo #5). Any significant variation in bed thickness may cause irregularities in the paved surface.

4.3

Once you have finished laying the paving stones, stabilize them using a vibrating plate (Ref: photo #9). This operation will settle the stones into the bed while levelling the surface. Begin by brushing a thin uniform layer of joint-filling sand over the paving stones and into the joints (Ref: photo #10), and then use a vibrating plate. For best results, run the plate two or three times in each direction. This operation will allow the sand to penetrate suitably into the joints and the paving stones to settle approximately 10 mm (3/8”) into the bed. (For improved performance, use Permapro polymeric sand in accordance with the instructions provided on the bag). Installation of a detachable neoprene sole (or layer) has been proven to be an additional protection against the risk of concrete spalls when installing certain types of paving stones (Amalfi, Canvas, Greenwich, Mega-Arbel, Trafalgar and Mega-Trafalgar, Vendome and Mondrian paving stones).

THE

6.2

Repeat the sand-spreading and vibrating procedures until all of the paving-stone joints have been filled. Remove the excess sand with a brush. The final level of the sand in the joints should be about 3 mm (1/8”) lower than the level of the paving stones.

6.3

If, after a few days, some joints are not properly filled, repeat the procedure. It is recommended to perform an annual maintenance of the joints between the paving stones.

6.4

We suggest setting aside a number of paving stones for replacement.

Make sure you do not compact the screenings or the sand before laying the pavers on the installation bed.

STEP 1 Place 3 pavers together in order to form a cloverleaf.

STEP 2 Add more sets in multiples of 3 pavers (cloverleaf) to fill in the surface to be covered.

STEP 3 Complete the balance of the surface to be covered with a single paver for the final result.

STRAIGHT BORDERS In order to achieve a straight border for a patio and/or sidewalk, you must install the pavers in such a way that it surpasses the surface completely. Saw cut the excess pieces. Tighten the pavers together using a few rows of Mega-Trafalgar or Vendome pavers sealing them with Permapro Plastic Edge.

22/10/14 2:56 PM

EXCAVATION 1.1

If pipes or wires are located in the area to be excavated, contact the company representative concerned before the work is started.

1.2

To ensure sufficient drainage, excavate the soil to obtain a minimum incline of 2% (20 mm/m or 1/4 inch per foot). The slope may be further reduced to as little as 1% if there is good overall drainage on the site. When in doubt, obtain a detailed analysis of the site drainage (slopes, soil type, layout, etc.) from an expert.

1.3

1.4

The excavation contour should extend beyond the surface to be paved by at least 300 mm (12”). Ideally, this distance should be 1 to 1 1/2 times the thickness of the foundation. The stability of the project depends on this measurement, which ensures that the slabs at the edge will be as well supported as those in the centre. Level the bottom of the excavation area with a rake and if the soil is sandy, compact it with a vibrating plate or roller. It is preferable not to pack clay soil at this stage. in this case, the use of a geotextile membrane placed between the natural soil and the foundation is recommended to prevent foundation contamination by clay and ensure greater stability. Refer to the chart to get the minimum excavation required (Ref: Photo #1)

LAYING THE SLABS 5.1

Arrange the slabs according to the pattern chosen with a 90° angle if possible. Proceed by walking on the slabs (Ref: photo #6). Fill the holes left by the pipes.

5.2

Slabs are manufactured with side spacers that will set a space of 3 mm (1/8”) between each slab. A space of 2 mm must be allowed for slabs without spacers. The use of a bricklayer’s line, a level, a square, and a specialized handling tool (possibly including vacuum lifting equipment) will be required.

5.3

To obtain an even distribution of colour and texture, it is recommended that you choose slabs from more than one cube at a time. Moreover, working across each cube always gives the best results.

5.4

Check the alignment of the slabs after every five rows installed and adjust them, if necessary, using a screwdriver. Also, check the uniformity of the surface regularly, and use a soft-head mallet to correct any units which do not meet the required degee of uniformity.

5.5

Install slabs up to the last row. To avoid having to cut slabs later, determine the position of the curbs to finish with a complete slab.

5.6

If necessary, you can cut the slabs using specialized tools such as guillotine or a concrete saw. It is recommended that you use a chalk line to mark the slabs to be cut. If you have to use a guillotine to cut the slabs, make sure that the cut is at a slight angle as slabs cut this way are much easier to install. If you use a concrete saw, keep away from the slabs already installed, since the dust and dirt from sawing will permanently stain them. Wear safety glasses when cutting concrete products.

5.7

At the perimeter of the slab-covered surface, proceed with installing the Celtik curb, Celtik Mega curb, Anglia curb,Melville curb or a plastic curb (Ref: photo #7). The curbs should be installed directly on the compacted granular foundation.

FOUNDATION 2.1

Spread and compact the 0–20 mm (0-3/4”) stone in 100 mm (4”) layers. Lightly water the 0–20 mm (0-3/4”) stone to make tamping easier. To ensure an adequate foundation, compact the stone several times with a vibrating plate or a jumping jack (Ref: photo #2). Once this stage has been completed, you will be able to see what the final result will look like; the surface should be uniform, with no bumps or depressions greater than 13 mm (1/2”) in 3 m (10 ft). You can verify the final level for the slab installation by placing a slab on a guide (Ref: photo #3). Adjust the surface, if necessary, with compacted 0-20 mm (0-3/4”) stone.

CURB 3.1

Installing Universal curb: Before you finish the foundation, proceed immediately with the installation of the Universal curb. Begin by installing the curb on one side. Before installing the curb on the other side, temporarily place a row of slabs in order to determine the ideal distance and thus to determine the position of the other curbs and avoid having to cut slabs later. Installing Celtik curb, Celtik Mega curb, Anglia curb or even a plastic curb: to install these types of curbs, see step 5.7 of laying the slabs.

FILLING THE JOINTS 6.1

Spread concrete sand over the slab, let dry. If necessary, then work it into the joints by brushing in all directions (Ref: photo #8). (For improved performance, use Permacon’s Polymeric sand)

6.2

Remove the excess sand. Repeat steps 6.1 and 6.2 if necessary. Do not use a vibrating plate on the slabs once they have been installed. However, for certain types of slab, it may be possible to use a small vibrating plate placed over a protective rubber membrane or plywood sheets. This method must be used with care to protect the units against breakage.

6.3

If, after a few days, some joints are not properly filled, repeat the procedure.

6.4

We suggest setting aside a number of slabs for replacement.

INSTALLATION BED 4.1

Spread the first layer of concrete sand between two 25 mm-(1”-) diameter steel pipes placed parallel to each other on the granular foundation (Ref: photo #4). Level the material by sliding a straight plank across the two pipes (Ref: photo #5). Compact the layer between the two pipes using a vibrating plate, without moving the pipes. Spread a second layer of uncompacted sand between the pipes to fill the space left by the compaction (approximate depth of 6 mm or 1/4”) and level once again using the straight plank. This method will facilitate the subsequent installation of the slabs. Fill the spaces left by the pipes which were used as levelling guides. Repeat the same steps for the entire surface of the work. Any significant variation in the bed thickness may cause irregularities in the paved surface. Never use installation-bed material to make important corrections to the compacted granular foundation.

INSTALLATION OF AN IRREGULAR PATIO OR SIDEWALK — WITHOUT CUTTING

STEP 1 Begin by laying 3 slabs at the centre of the surface to be covered. Place 3 slabs together to form a cloverleaf.

STEP 2 Add more sets of 3 slabs (cloverleaf) to fill in the surface to be covered.

STEP 3 Complete the balance of the surface to be covered with single slabs for the final result.

INSTALLATION D’UN PATIO OU D’UN TROTTOIR – POURTOUR DROIT

STEP 1 Begin by laying half a slab at the left-hand side.

STEP 2 Continue by fitting more sets of 3 slabs (cloverleafs) against the others. The cutting will be done when the entire surface has been covered.

STEP 3 Keep the cut-off pieces of slab to fill in the empty spaces. For some width increments of 40” the loss can be limited.

It is also possible to create patios, pathways, sidewalks or stepping stones with wider joints. Use the same technique described above by leaving an average 50 mm (2 in) space between stones.

GENERIC INSTALLATION GUIDE / RETAINING WALLS – 29

GuideAme_Eng15.indd 29

22/10/14 2:56 PM

EXCAVATION 1.1

Dig a trench. The excavation depth must allow for a granular foundation of a minimum thickness of 150 mm (6”), as well as the buried depth of the first rows of modules of the wall being built. Also calculate that 10% of the total height of the wall (150 mm or 6” minimum) should be buried in the ground. The width of the trench will depend on the type of block selected. You should also leave a space of at least 300 mm (12”) at the back of the wall to build a drainage system. (See photo #1).

PREPARATION OF THE BASE 2.1

Cover the rear and bottom of the trench with a geotextile membrane to prevent soil from blocking the drainage system (see illustration section). The membrane should project about 300 mm (12”) beyond the top of the slope so it can be folded back on the drainage system when in place. The geotextile membrane can sometimes be placed right behind the wall (to be undertaken following step 4).

FOUNDATION 3.1

BACKFILLING THE WALL 5.1

Fill in the space behind the wall. The backfill can be composed of 20 mm (3/4”) clean stone as shown in the illustration section, or of draining sand (see photo #6). The geotextile membrane must be installed at this stage (behind the wall as shown in photo #6 or at the rear of the trench as in the illustration section).

CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION OF THE WALL 6.1

Lay the next rows and backfill the space at the back (step 5) approximately every 200 mm (8”). (See photos #7 and #8). Use capping modules to top off the wall if available for your selected type of wall (see photos #9 and #10). We recommend using Permapro concrete adhesive to secure them.

*NOTE

: This guide describes the installation of a standard gravity wall of a given maximum height. (Consult the table of wall specifications on page 33 to check the approved height of wall selected). Some walls can be made higher with geogrid reinforcement. Consult a specialized engineer or Permacon’s engineering department to find out more on the design specifications for your wall.

Prepare a 150 mm (6”) foundation of 0-20 mm (0-3/4”) stone (see photo #2). in the case of clay soils, we strongly recommend increasing the excavation depth. Compact with a jumping jack or vibrating plate (see photo #3). Level the surface.

FIRST ROW 4.1

Lay the first row of blocks, level them on the compacted foundation according to your layout (see photo #4). On this foundation, at the back of the wall, install a 100 mm (4”) diameter perforated drain and connect it to the existing drainage system. The drain can be wrapped in a geotextile membrane. (See photo #5). The drain should be covered with 20 mm (3/4”) clean stone or sand during step 5.

CELTIK® WALL DESCRIPTION

With a maximum height of 42 inches, the Celtik wall is considered the standard in the landscaping market. Celtik is reminiscent of old stone structures typical of the Irish and Scottish countryside. Its rich texture and variety of modules gives you a choice between the uneven look of cut stone and the more linear look of a brick. Benefits •

Patented anchor pin system located at the back of the block makes it possible to: –

Build sloped or vertical walls with minimum cutting, chiselling or using a guillotine

–

Easily create a radius or curves

ANCHOR PIN SYSTEM

The Celtik Wall anchor pin system is designed to facilitate the construction of walls with a maximum height of 42 in (1.1 m). The special pin system is designed to stabilize the overall structure and guide the installation of modules. The dual-position system allows for the construction of vertical or 9° sloped walls. Modules are delivered with two different anchor pins: a regular pin with blades (C1) and a second pin without blades (C2), designed for the construction of corners.

CONSTRUCTION OF A CELTIK® WALL WITH THE 225 mm MODULE

It’s easy to give your Celtik wall a more natural look by combining three different module sizes that break up the horizontal lines as much as possible.

UNITS The Celtik wall is made up of blocks, namely modules. The Celtik module is available in

225 mm

three thicknesses: 90 mm (3 9/16 in), 135 mm (5 5/16 in) and 225 mm (8 7/8 in).

(8 7/8 in)

the 90 mm modules are available in four lengths: 175 mm (6 7/8 in), 265 mm (10 7/16 in), 345 mm (13 9/16 in) and 435 mm (17 1/8 in)

STEP 1 – SIMPLE BUILDING PROCEDURE FOR THE CELTIK WALL (225 mm MODULE). Calculate the length of the wall in multiples of 610 mm (24 in) and the height of the wall in multiples of 225 mm (8 7/8 in). Foundation layer: Start the installation by arranging one layer with modules of the same thickness (90 mm or 135 mm) on the compacted foundation.Installing the first layer: Place the combinations of modules in the following manner: a) Place a 225 combination followed by a 90/135 combination and a 135/90 combination. b) Alternate the 90/135 and 135/90 combinations to break up the horizontal lines as much as possible.

225 mm (8 7/8 in)

610 mm (24 in)

STEP 2 – INSTALLING THE SECOND LAYER: a) Start the second layer with a single I or J module in order to break up the alignment of the vertical joints. b) Set aside the other part of this combination module for completing the other end of the wall. c) Place the balance of the second layer according to the regular instructions.

610 mm (24 in)

STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE THIRD LAYER: You can vary the vertical lines even more by separating the 225 mm I and J modules within the same layer of blocks (see illustration).

CELTIK® BEVELLED CAPPING MODULE DESCRIPTION

LAYING IDEAS

Celtik bevelled capping modules are designed to offer greater flexibility for straight walls, S-curves and regular curves, while keeping cutting to a minimum. Our system includes three modules of various dimensions (A-B-C). Each module is reversible and treated on both sides, which means more possibilities in terms of bent radius. Always lay the curved portions of the wall first and keep the remaining modules for straight wall portions. We recommend properly securing the modules with adhesive to ensure wall stability. STEPPED WALL CAPPING WITH 90° CUT

1. Installing the first row. Lay a 10 cm x 20 cm x 40 cm (4 in x 8 in x 16 in) solid block or universal curb so that it will be flush with the interlocking paving stone. The solid block will support the concrete riser. Insert the anchor pin C1 in this position

2. Installing the second row Lay a Celtik riser 225 mm (8 7/8 in) on top of the 10 cm x 20 cm x 40 cm block. Make sure that the anchor pin C1 is inserted in the right position (see illustration). Fill in the space behind the riser with 20-0 mm (0-3/4 in) crushed stone and compact. BACK OF BLOCK

3. Fastening the step Lay a 385 mm (15 in) Celtik step module on top of the Celtik riser. Make sure to insert the square anchor pin C3 (see sketch and cross section). 4. Installing additional rows Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until desired height is reached. Note: We recommend the use of Permacon Permapro concrete adhesive to secure the Celtik concrete riser and the Celtik step module. Note: Celtik steps and risers give a step height of 180 mm (7 in). If the height of the wall and the step must be the same, you must ensure that the height of the wall containing the C3 ANCHOR PIN

steps is in multiples of 180 mm (7 in).

The installation bed must be placed on a layer of adequately compacted and levelled granular material. Furthermore, the pavers must be held in around the edges with an appropriate curb (ref.: Photo No. 1). The pavers must be dry before the polymeric sand is applied. Spread sand over the pavers, then work it into the joints with a stiff-bristled broom to fill them completely. Then pass a vibrating

PERMAPRO POLYMERIC SANDS DESCRIPTION

The Permapro polymeric sands are joint fillers for concrete pavers and slabs made of calibrated sand and polymeric binder materials. Once the sand has been applied, it is sprayed lightly with water. It then becomes very hard and literally locks the concrete pavers together, whether the surface is horizontal or not. The principal use of the Permapro polymeric sands is to make the paver or slab joints much more resistant than traditional sand joints. Permapro offers polymeric sands, either grey, beige or ivory in 30-kg bags.

All Permapro polymeric sands have the following advantages: •

Help prevent weeds and damage due to insects and erosion

•

Can be used for pavers with or without false joints

•

Do not stain concrete pavers or slabs

•

Can be stored outside on a pallet (original packaging intact)

•

Effective for joints up to 25 mm (1 in) wide

•

Sold in plastic bags to withstand rain and humidity

Note: The use of Permapro polymeric sands is not recommended for clay pavers such as the Greenwich paver.

PERMAPRO SEALANTS WITH WET, SATIN OR NATURAL FINISH

Permapro sealants have been specially formulated to provide pavers three different looks: wet (wet and shiny look), satin (wet and dull look) and natural (maintains the original look of the pavers). Furthermore, they provide additional protection to pavers likely to be stained by grease, oil or even dead leaves. Permapro wet- and satin-finish sealants are acrylic polymerbased products that cover the concrete of the pavers to form a protective coat. The natural-finish sealant is a fluorochemical polymer-based product and penetrates the concrete pores without leaving a film on the pavers. All of the sealants are available in two sizes: 3.78-litre or 18.9-litre containers. Benefits •

Reduce penetration of dirt, oil and grease

•

Withstand ultraviolet rays and therefore last longer
