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 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. 1.4 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). 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 9). 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. 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 Make sure you do not compact the screenings or the sand before laying the pavers on the installation bed.
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 and the Anglia curb (Ref: photo #8). You can also use Permapro Plastic Curb for small installations. 5.8 Once you have finished laying them, stabilize the pavers using a vibrating plate (Ref: photo #9). This operation will settle the stones into the bed while levelling the surface. For best results, run the plate over the pavers two or three times in both directions. The paving stones will settle into the screenings or the concrete sand approximately 10 mm (3/8). The 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 (Canvas, Mega-Arbel, Trafalgar, Mega-Trafalgar, Vendome, Amalfi, Greenwich, Mondrian 80, Bergerac Domino and Subterra pavers). Filling the joints 6.1 Spread concrete sand over the paving stone, let dry, if necessary, then work it into the joints by brushing in all directions (Ref: photo #10). (For improved performance, use Permacons stabilizing sand or Permacon Polymeric sand.) 6.2 Remove the excess sand and work the remainder in by passing the vibrating plate over it. Repeat steps 6.1 and 6.2 if necessary. 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.

Notes:
Trafalgar pavers are designed to give modular or linear patterns. There are four sizes of pavers; dimensions are in proportional multiples, which enables a variety of laying patterns. The utilization of the D pavers or large square pavers gives a more random result. Before ordering, make sure you have selected the correct proportion of large square pavers according to the effect you wish to achieve. Packaging in two separate cubes (A, B, C and D) provides great flexibility in terms of laying patterns and makes it easy to use large square pavers for curbs, pool coping, inserts or accents. To speed up the installation, we recommend you do not follow a preset bond pattern. Avoid long joint lines. These patterns are examples of a laid modular paver. It should not be followed as an exact laying pattern. Permacon assumes no liability for product overages or shortages resulting from the installation of the above pattern.

Laying patterns
Linear pattern (stack bond) 45, 100% large square

Note: Modular bond patterns will, on occasion, result in small holes. These can easily be filled using halves of A pavers once the main pattern has been laid.
Notes:
Mega-Bergerac Plus pavers are designed to give modular or linear patterns. There are four sizes of pavers; dimensions are in proportional multiples, which enables a variety of laying patterns. The utilization of the D pavers or large square pavers gives a more random result. Before ordering, make sure you have selected the correct proportion of large square pavers according to the effect you wish to achieve. Packaging in two separate cubes (A, B, C and D) provides great flexibility in terms of laying patterns and makes it easy to use large square pavers for curbs, pool coping, inserts or accents. To speed up the installation, we recommend you do not follow a preset bond pattern. Avoid long joint lines. Winter conditions: It is recommended that the snow removal equipment is well covered (Teflon blade or other), in order to avoid damaging the paving stones against scratches, spalls or concrete glares. It can be useful to discuss this with your snow removal contractor before signing the contract. Special protection: See the generic installation guide on page 7, article 5.8. These patterns are examples of a laid modular paver. It should not be followed as an exact laying pattern. Permacon assumes no liability for product surplus or shortages resulting from the installation of the above pattern.

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). 1.3 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. 1.4 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) Foundation 2.1 Spread and compact the 020 mm (0-3/4) stone in 100 mm (4) layers. Lightly water the 020 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 is completed, you will be able to see what the final result will look like. You can verify the final level of the slabs by placing a slab on a guide. (Ref: photo #2). 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 or Anglia curb: To install these types of curbs, see step 5.7 of section 5 - Laying the slab. Installation bed 4.1 Spread between 15 mm (5/8) and 25 mm (1) of concrete sand or screening (Ref: photo #4). 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 Make sure you do not to compact the screenings or the sand before laying the slabs on the installation bed.
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. 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. 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 On both sides of the paving surface, proceed with installing the Celtik curb, Celtik Mega curb or Anglia curb. (Ref: photo #7) 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 Permacons Polymeric sand) 6.2 Remove the excess sand. Repeat steps 6.1 and 6.2 if necessary. 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 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 of a patio or a sidewalkWITH CUTTING
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 inches) space between stones.

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 30 cm (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 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.
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 : Note: This guide describes the installation of a standard gravity wall of a given maximum height. (Consult the table of wall specifications on page 64 to check the approved height of wall selected). Some walls can be made higher with geogrid reinforcement. Consult a specialized engineer or Permacons engineering department to find out more on the design specifications for your wall.

Construction of a retaining wall
The Lafayette retaining wall is built while using, in equal proportion, the regular modules 76 mm x 203 mm (3 in. x 8 in.), 76 mm x 406 mm (3 in. x 16 in.), 152 mm x 203 mm (6 in. x 8 in.) and 152 mm x 406 mm (6 in. x 16 in.) according to 2 particular modular patterns for installation which are repeated. In terms of wall area, the 6 inch Block
module (152 mm) will cover the area two times more than the 3 inch (76 mm) Block modules. (Two pallets of 6 inch Block for one pallet of 3 inch Block).

Finishing touch
Finishing touch with Lafayette capping module

Lafayette 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 a bevelled capping module. 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. The Lafayette wall capping module is used to cap both the retaining and double-sided walls.
straight wall Create a straight capping finish by alternating the bevelled capping modules
Notes: The capping module allows the realization of a curve with an approximate radius of 2.317 m (7.6 ft). To create curved walls of a different radius, it will be necessary to occasionally cut certain modules.
Curved wall
Creating a 90 corner Option A with capping module

Use Lafayette capping modules to finish 90 corners. Use a concrete saw to cut the modules at 45 angles. Always start with the corner modules when capping a wall. In either case, always spread a layer of concrete adhesive along the top row of Lafayette modules before laying the capping modules. 300 mm (12 in)

Creating a column
The Lafayette wall lets you build 610 mm x 610 mm (24 in. x 24 in.) columns using corner modules. All you have to do is alternate the rows. The maximum height of a column is 1.5 m (5 ft.). For increased stability, cement the modules together with Permapro concrete adhesive.
The column can be covered with a 711 mm x 711 mm (28 in. x 28 in.) Capita capping module.

Step 2
Installation for the following rows Walls of 90 mm, 135 mm or 225 mm modules: Carefully lay the modules of the following rows, remembering however, to insert a pin in each module before installation. First insert pins in modules to be installed. Use appropriate grooves depending on whether the wall is vertical (maximum 26 in.) or 9 sloped (maximum 42 in.). Lay each row by overlapping joints of the last row installed. Supplied radiuses may be used vertically to give a natural and original look to the layout. Two of the radiuses measures two rows high. Use module A (6 7/8 in.) to match two 90 mm rows (see illustration A) and module F (10 7/16 in.) to cover two 135 mm rows (see illustration B). Combination of 90 mm and 135 mm modules. Carefully distribute different sizes of the modules to give a well balanced, natural look to the layout (see illustration C). To integrate vertical elements into the arrangement, split 17 1/8 in. (435 mm) long modules (90 or 135 mm high) in halves. A split half covers the total height of a 90 mm module plus a 135 mm module. (see illustration D)

Construction of a Celtik wall with the 225 mm module
Its 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 three thicknesses: 90 mm (3 9/16 in.), 135 mm (5 5/16 in.) and 225 mm (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.) 135 mm (5 5/16 in) modules 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.) 225 mm (8 7/8 in) modules The 225 mm modules are available in three lengths: 263 mm (10 3/8 in.), 343 mm (13 1/2 in.) and 606 mm (23 7/8 in.) 263 mm (10 3/8 in) 343 mm (13 1/2 in) 606 mm (23 7/8 in) 225 mm (8 7/8 in) 225 mm (8 7/8 in)
Different combinations
One basic formula The entire Celtik wall system is based on a simple formula. By choosing different modules, you can obtain various combinations. Each combination is 610 mm (24 in.) long and 225 mm (8 7/8 in.) tall. Throughout this technical guide, we will refer to these combinations with the following names: 90/135 combination, 135/90 combination and 225 combination (see illustration). It is important to have a good understanding of the combination principle before going on to the next step. 225 mm (8 7/8 in)

The whole Celtik wall system is based on a grid 225 mm (8 7/8 in.) high and 610 mm (24 in.) long. Before you start to install your Celtik wall, you must calculate its entire length and height. It is important to calculate the height of the Celtik wall in multiples of 225 mm (8 7/8 in.). As for the length, multiples of 610 mm (24 in.) are suggested to save you from having to cut the blocks.

Visualizing the Celtik module combinations

On the basic grid, it is easy to see the combinations of the 225 mm (8 7/8 in.) high and 610 mm (24 in.) long modules. When you see all of the installation options, you will get exceptional results.
Notes: The dimensions of the Imperial system are approximate. To find out about permitted wall heights, consult the Wall Characteristics Chart on page 64
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.

610 mm (24 in)
610 mm (24 in)
610 mm (24 in)
610 mm (24 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).

Step 4 Maximum height for the Celtik wall

a) The maximum height of the Celtik wall with the 225 mm module is 900 mm ( 36 in.), excluding the cap. b) When you build a wall to the maximum permitted height, it is important to fill the 225 mm (8 7/8 in.) module with stones in order to retain their structural value.
675 mm (26 9/16 in)
450 mm (17 11/16 in) 225 mm (8 7/8 in)
Step 5 Adding a cap Option A standard module as capping module

Walls can also be capped using Celtik standard modules, in one of two styles: Flush Overhanging In either case, the modules must be properly secured with adhesive to ensure wall stability. Save straight modules (D or H) for capping the straight portions of the wall. Use bevelled modules for the curved portions; less cutting will be required. Note: Several small modules will give a shorter bend radius, while larger modules will give a larger radius. advantage: A Celtik retaining wall with standard modules as capping modules is economical, easy to install and versatile, offering a number of possibilities. 435 mm (17 1/8 in) 175 mm (6 7/8 in) 345 mm (13 9/16 in) 435 mm (17 1/8 in)

265 mm (10 7/16 in)
225 mm (8 7/8 in) 135 mm (5 5/16 in)
to create curves in a Celtik wall, the minimum radius is 0.9 m (3 ft). Convex curve: Strike the extremities of the module at the back. Concave curve: Modules will have to be cut. after Before

Step 5 Adding a cap Option B Adding a cap to a Celtik wall with Celtik capping modules (straight and bevelled)
Use Celtik capping modules to complete your wall. Refer to pages 85 to 87 to order the selected Celtik capping modules. It is important to cement the Celtik caps with a concrete adhesive.
Notes: The dimensions of the Imperial system are approximate.
pillars
Building pillars
To build a pillar minimizing joint alignment and better stability, be sure to follow the laying order for each step and row, as illustrated. Measure the site for the pillar(s). Each pillar mesures of 734 mm x 734 mm (29 in. x 29 in.). Always secure each row with adhesive to ensure stability. For the corners, cut C and D module as illustrated: Trim the C module in the middle Trim the D module along one of the two grooves (left or right) 1) Installing the first row Lay the first four modules as illustrated (A, B, C and D), followed by the next four. D 2) Installing the second, third and fourth rows For each row, proceed as illustrated. Starting from the fifth row, repeat instruction no. 1 and no. 2, followed by the next ones until the desired height is reached (see illustration). 3) Capping Use Celtik straight capping modules. Step 1 (rows 1 and 5) Note: It is recommended that only 90 mm or 135 mm modules be used. Step 2 (rows 2 and 6) B C A D A C A C B D B C B A

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.

Method for applying Permapro polymeric sand on a new paver surface

Permapro SP, XP and RP polymeric sands Permapro polymeric sand is applied immediately after pavers have been installed. Pavers must be installed according to manufacturers recommendations. They must be laid on a 15- to 25 mm thick installation bed of concrete sand. 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 plate over the pavers in several directions to make sure the sand completely fills the joints. Repeat this step (spreading then compacting the sand) at least two more times (ref.: Photo No. 2). Using a soft-bristled broom, remove any excess sand remaining on the surface of the pavers. Make sure that the final level of the sand is at least 3 mm (1/8 in.) lower than the surface of the pavers. With a leaf blower, remove all of the sand remaining on the paved surface (ref.: Photo No. 3). Using a nozzle attached to a hose, direct a fine spray of water on a portion of the paved surface for 10 to 15 seconds. Wait for 3 to 4 minutes (but no more than that). Repeat this step section by section over the entire paved surface (ref.: Photo No. 4). Next, spray the entire paved surface with a fine mist of water. Spray then rinse simultaneously to remove all of the excess sand from the pavers (ref.: Photo No. 5). Repeat the preceding step, but stop spraying when you notice a minimum of water retention in the paver joints (ref.: Photo No. 6). Using a leaf blower, remove any remaining surface water from the pores and crevasses of the pavers. This operation is required to eliminate any sand remaining on the surface of the pavers once the preceding steps have been completed (ref.: Photo No. 7). Important: The water used in spraying the paved surface activates the adhesion process in addition to packing the grains of sand down into the joints. Too much water will lessen the compaction capacity and decrease the products final density. We strongly recommend that you carefully read the complete application methods printed on the bags of polymeric sand.
Method for applying Permapro polymeric sand on an existing paver surface

Use the same application procedure as for a new paver surface. Before applying the new Permapro polymeric sand, make sure that any old sand remaining between the pavers has been completely removed. A powerful sprayer can be used to remove all of the fill material from the joints. Be careful not to disturb the installation bed material under the pavers.

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 Do
prevent weeds and damage due to insects and erosion
not stain concrete pavers or slabs for joints up to 25 mm (1 in.) wide
Effective Can Can Sold
be used for pavers with or without false joints be stored outside on a pallet (original packaging intact) 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.
116 Descriptive Data Sheet / Permapro polymeric sands
Applications
There are three different types of Permapro polymeric sands: SP, XP and RP. Generally speaking, Permapro polymeric sands can be used on areas such as pool decks, driveways, patios, lanes and sidewalks and for locations with gentle slopes (see the generic installation guide: Installation on a granular foundation).
The following table will help you choose the appropriate sand based on the demands of your project.
type of project SP Slight slope Steep slope 1 in. maximum joint X X X X X X X X X X 1.5 in. maximum joint Humid areas Pavers with false joints Installation on concrete foundation* Installation on granular foundation Light commercial application X Type of sand RP X XP X X X X X X
When you want to cover an existing concrete surface (such as a sidewalk or patio) with concrete pavers or slabs, RP sand must be used (see the generic installation guide: Applying RP sand to a concrete slab).
For light commercial applications, cases where the surface to be paved has a steep slope, or cases in which the joints between pavers are between 25 and 38 mm (1 to 1.5 in.), XP polymeric sand should be considered.
*Calculate a 2% minimum slope and a 25 mm (1 in.) min. laying bed.

Permapro sealants
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 polymer-based 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 ultraviolet rays and therefore last longer
Withstand Give
the pavers a different look and accentuate their colours (glossy and satin finish)
Note: P avers must be clean before using a sealant. Prior clean-up with Permapro cleaning products may be required. We recommend that you use a sealant within a year of installing new pavers.
Important: Follow all instructions indicated on the containers.
