Two methods can be used when laying pavers:
- Rigid Base: bedded on a sand and cement mortar bed up to 30mm thick, or glued down using a suitable flexible adhesion agent, taking care to ensure there are no voids which could cause drumminess or structural cracks.
- Flexible Base: Evenly spread a layer (approx. 100mm thick) of roadbase or manufactured sand over the required area. Compact this material using a plate compactor.
