String Tight System

Straight and square edges are required when installing paving bricks, kerbs and slabs. Skew plumb lines are often a problem on site. The String Tight system provides a clearance of approximately 4-5mm between pavers and the string line.

This is an essential tool for any contractor who lays paving blocks or carries out repairs to paved surfaces.

It is adjustable to fit any size and shape of paver.

Measuring and Marking Tool

An essential aid for the exact measuring and marking of lengths and angles on pavers.

An alternative to cement grouting

For more than 20 years, Romex has been the world’s leading manufacturer of paving jointing materials. Its high-quality, resin-based grouting solutions have been developed to overcome the shortcomings of cement grouting.

Romex grouts are tried and tested and have been used on paving installations throughout the world.

Romex resin is imported from Germany, but the specially graded silica sand used in conjunction with it is sourced in South Africa. It is therefore more expensive than cement grouting, but – when applied correctly – is guaranteed not to crack or break up.

Benefits:

• It is designed for a single purpose: jointing of paving. • It is reliable and long-lasting. • It does not crack or disintegrate. • It can be used for jointing repair jobs. • It has consistent, compressive, flexural and adhesive strength. • Its installation is fast and simple. • There is no staining. • It is resistant to weeds and digging ants. AVAILABLE AT BOSUN

Romex is easy to install in just a few simple steps:

Pour the two-part mix into the aggregate

Wet the pavers onto which the mixture will be applied.

Pour the mixture onto the area. Sweep the mixture into the grouting gaps. Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed. Wash the excess Romex mixture off the pavers.

Benefits of using Resiblock

• Resiblock stabilises jointing sand and ensures that it is not eroded or washed out from between the joints. • Ensuring the stability of the jointing material will drastically increase the lifetime of paving. • Resiblock is ideal for areas with a steep slope or where joints are susceptible to erosion. • It is resistant to weeds and digging ants. • Its application is fast and simple. • Resiblock is not only a joint stabiliser, but also doubles as a high-quality sealer that will protect your paving from stains and scuff marks.

Reasons for paving failure

• Jointing sand keeps pavers locked. If this sand is washed out, it leaves empty spaces between pavers, enabling them to move and preventing them from remaining firm under traffic. • This leads to the failure of the sub-base. In wet conditions, the sub-base material will therefore be pumped out, as can be seen in the picture below. • Water has penetrated the paver joints and become trapped in both the sub-base and the sand laying coarse material.

• Subsequent trafficking has led to the deformation. • Once saturated, both the sub-base material and the laying course material lost stability and proved insufficiently stable to support traffic. • The pavers have cracked as a result of the surface deformation.

Guard Remover Eco Efflorescence & Cement

Suitable for most paving materials, Guard Remover Eco Efflorescence & Cement brings soiled paving back to its original state of cleanliness. It proves most effective in the rapid removal of cement haze, grout spillages, efflorescence and concrete laitance.

Guard Remover Eco Efflorescence & Cement cleans paving in a minimally aggressive and non-corrosive way, when compared to other products on the market. This product was designed to meet the varying requirements of users applying it, in terms of safety, effectiveness, and the impact on the environment. It is an ideal product to be used in preparation for the application of paving protectors.

Guard Industry Paving Protectors

Bosun supplies a range of Guard Industry paving protectors at various levels of protection to suit your requirements. Guard Industry paving protectors penetrate the pores of the pavers, making them impermeable and limit the absorption of water, oil, fat, grease, soil, and even graffiti. They offer long-lasting protection by slowing down the ageing of your paving and make it easier to maintain.

Suitable applications include: driveways, patios, pool surrounds, walkways, high trafficked commercial areas as well as larger industrial applications.

Guard Industry paving protectors do not go yellow over time and provide the option to enhance the appearance of the paving, or to retain the original colour. All these products are easy to apply with a low-pressure sprayer, a roller or a brush. Contact your Bosun Representative to discuss various protection options.
