- Once the geotextile has been laid (compulsory on the underside of PAVÉFAST), prepare two trestles with a tray(see our installation video).
- Place your grid on the tray and your cobblestones within easy reach.
- Using a mallet, lightly tap the PAVÉCARROS into the grid. Take care to place the non-slip side on top.
- Hold the paving stone while nesting. It takes five or six cobblestones to get the hang of it. After that, it’s child’s play!
PAVÉCARROS deliberately protrude +/- 1.5 mm from the top of the grids. The result is as close as possible to traditional joints. They may vary slightly in size by +/- 2 mm. This is what the grid is for. In some extreme cases, you may need to cut the blocking pad slightly with a cutter. Grids stretch slightly as pavers are fitted together; +/- 1.5 cm per Meter.
- Don’t fill the grid with cobblestones around the edges, so that you can easily carry it. (Approx. 20 kg per grid, excluding edge blocks). To be positioned alone or with two people. You can pre-fill the grids with PAVÉCARROS at your own pace, even when protected from the elements.
- After filling, lay and fit the grids, preferably staggered for better hold, starting on the gate side, from left to right and from bottom to top.
- Insert the clips into the stud (only 1 per stud), at the junction of two grids, holding them in place with your hand and pushing the head of the clip into the notch with the nose of a hammer. (Watch video)
- Mallet-tighten the junction blocks between grids. Sit on a wheeled crate during this operation. This way, you won’t damage your knees or your back.
- Peripheral cuts are easily made by slicing the grids with a slicer.
- Cut paving stones using an angle grinder with an all-materials or natural stone disc. Remember to wear gloves and goggles.
For installation LUMIPAV, you need to choose your locations about 10 centimetres from the outer edge for the best effect. To do this, cut out the central load transfer stud in the grid. Remove the light stud from the lower black casing and glue it only to the 4 inner corners of the grille using a glue cartridge. See video. We recommend a LUMIPAV box every 1.5 to 2 metres.
No concrete to pour. No joints required. No surface cleaning PAVÉFAST can be installed in any weather. Except under two metres of snow !
However, we do not recommend installation below 10° positive.
For a beautiful effect, you can make borders or patterns with different colors of granite, turf or aggregates !
PAVÉFAST can be driven on immediately. And it’s highly draining!
