1 Installation guidelines Introduction Before delving into the details of paving installation, it is important to first consider what nature gives us, people s general expectations and the six universal rules of paving. Segmented Paving is installed on the earth s surface. In order to understand the principles of paving, we should consider certain rules of nature: 1. Soil moves. 2. Natural material in soil decomposes. 3. The elements are harsh. 4. There are minerals in soil, sand and stone. 5. There is moisture in the soil. General expectations around paving: 1. Paving should provide a solid surface to walk or drive on. 2. You want paving to be functional for a lifetime. 3. You want paving to look good and add value to your property. The 6 Golden rules of paving: 1. You don't want paving to sag when trafficked. 2. You don't want paving to creep sideways. 3. You want water to drain from the paving. 4. You want a smooth and even paved surface with no high or low pavers. 5. Paving blocks alone shouldn t carry loads. Weight should be distributed to layers beneath the paving blocks. 6. Paving needs maintenance. Installation: There are two distinctly different paving installation methods, namely fixed and flexible. Flexible paving installation is the globally accepted norm and when done correctly and maintained, it will last a lifetime. This method is specified by SANS 1200MJ, the official standard for the installation of segmented paving in South Africa. We recommend this method for Bosun Dry Cast Pavers including the Urban and Linneo ranges intended to carry vehicular or pedestrian traffic. With rigid installation, you create a solid mortar screed with the pavers bedded on this slab and forming part of it. Bosun Hermetic Flagstones should be installed according to this method. Most important though, is never to mix the two philosophies. In a rigid installation, use a concrete bed and cement or other fixed joints and a flexible installation use sand for bedding and jointing. Sand on one and cement on the other simply doesn t work. Practical considerations Always retain a few extra pavers for repairs when the pavement is dug up for new waterpipes and fibre etc. There will be colour differences when buying additional pavers later.

2 Flexible installation method Recommended for vehicular traffic and all Bosun Dry Cast Pavers, including the Urban and Linneo ranges. Earthworks or soil preparation Important: Always consult an engineer for paving intended to carry commercial traffic or residential applications where soil is suspect or contains excessive moisture. Always consider underground utilities before commencing with earthworks. Option 1 (Recommended) For all paving installations. 1. Set out the area to be paved and excavate to a depth of ±250mm. (This should allow for a sub base of 150mm together with the thickness of pavers and bedding material used) 2. All tree roots and other plant matter should be removed. 3. Preferably use a roller to compact the earth after excavation. If a plate compactor is used, ensure its weight is at least 75kg. 4. Compact the earth to the point of refusal. 5. Install a sub base of 150mm with G5 material. (Your Bosun representative could assist in finding a supplier.) 6. Compact the sub base with a roller or plate compactor weighing at least 75kg. Again, compact this material to the point of refusal. A rough guideline to the number of passes is provided in Table Never attempt to compact layers thicker than 150mm. It will not compact sufficiently. 8. The sub base is the foundation layer of the paving. It should be smooth, level and the correct falls should be achieved with this material. 9. Do not install plastic sheeting beneath paving. Plastic sheets negatively affects the structural integrity of paving. It further does not prevent weed growth as weeds grow from the top and not through the paving.

3 Option 2 (Not recommended) A cheaper option for residential pedestrian traffic. 1. Set out the area to be paved and excavate to a depth of ±80mm. (This should allow for the thickness of pavers used together with the bedding material. 2. All plant matter should be removed. 3. After excavation scarify the soil further, to an additional depth of 100mm. 4. Spread dry cement evenly over the surface of this scarified soil. 5. Dig in with the soil until no grey streaks are visible. 6. Use a roller or plate compactor of at least 75kg in weight to compact the earth after excavation. 7. Sprinkle with water. (moist not soggy) 8. This is the foundation layer of the paving. It should be smooth, level and the correct falls should be achieved with this material. 9. Do not install plastic sheeting beneath paving. Plastic sheets negatively affects the structural integrity of paving. It further does not prevent weed growth as weeds grow from the top and not through the paving. Drainage Consider drainage carefully. Many paving failures occur due to ingress of water into the earthworks beneath the paving. Construct the necessary gradients in your foundation layer. Do not use bedding sand to fill up indentations or construct gradients. A gradient of 1:50 is recommended in one direction (transverse) and 1:80 in another (longitudinal). 1:50 means that there will be 1 unit of fall for every 50 units of driveway width. Example: Say the driveway is to be 4.5m wide. If that distance is divided by 50, the result is the 1 unit of fall. From the above: Fall = 4,500mm 50 = 90mm So, there needs to be 90mm of fall across the driveway. It is also important to ensure that the paving is laid proud of (i.e mm higher than) drains or channels. Important: Underground water could adversely affect the appearance of your pavers as paving is porous. Tip: Generally speaking, in areas where buildings encounter problems with rising damp, this underground water could also affect paving. Install subsoil drainage when there is evidence of high underground water tables or high levels of underground water. In certain instances, the application of a sealant or waterproofing agent to both sides of pavers might eliminate water absorption issues. Drainage channels and underground drainage pipes should be installed in certain areas like low points in steep driveways, around downpipes, against boundary walls etc. Carefully consider the natural land, walls and buildings when designing a drainage plan.

4 Handling Why: Pavers are fragile. They could chip and break if not handled with care. Move pavers by means of special paver carts or pack them in wheelbarrows and unpack them one by one. Never throw pavers in wheelbarrows or front end loaders and tip them at the destination. There will be slight variances in colour between different batches and even packs of paving from any paving manufacturer anywhere in the world. It is therefore recommended to draw and install pavers from different packs during installation to avoid a patchy finish. Installation (For all Bosun pavers accept Hermetic flagstones.) Important: Before considering this method, ensure earthworks, drainage and handling as described on pages 2 & 3 of this document are done according to these guidelines. Paving will fail if these aspects are not dealt with correctly. Edge restraints Why: Edge restraints prevents pavers creeping. When pavers move horizontally, grouting material between pavers is lost and the paved area will fail completely. Bosun recommends that edge restraints be installed before the paving. The earth preparation should extend to the rear face (outer side) of edge restraints. Edge restraints could be kerbs or pavers / copings bedded in concrete. Bed edge restraints in concrete and haunch it with concrete. Ensure that the concrete beds also retain the layers underneath the paving. Therefore, bed edge course pavers on 75mm thick concrete and haunch at least half of their height at the back of the paver with concrete at least 75mm wide. This will create a solid concrete block that won t move. Use a moist concrete mix of 4 parts sand, 2 parts stone and 1 part cement to construct the bedding and haunching of edge courses. Experience has shown that the best edge restraints are kerbs. For residential and pedestrian applications, garden kerbs are suitable. Kerbs should be bedded and haunched in the same way as edge course pavers, described above. On large paved areas and paving on steep slopes, additional restraints in the form of edge beams might be required. Please refer to our guidelines for steep slopes. Creating edge restraints by digging a little trench on an edge after paving has been installed, then filling it with in situ concrete and trowelling it down will definitely fail within a few months. Bedding Why: You want pavers to be level and not sag, creep and break when installed Well-draining river sand containing no clay and very little fines should be used for bedding. Please see the grading analysis for bedding sand as specified by SANS 1200MJ. (Table 1.2)

5 Nominal Sieve size, (mm) % Passing 9, , , , , , , , Table 1.2 If you install pavers according to the flexible method, do not mix cement with bedding sand, unless specified by an engineer. Bedding sand should be moist when bedding pavers. (Not saturated with water, just moist) The sand should contain 4-8% moisture. Tip: If you squeeze a handful of sand it should compact to a ball but no water should escape between your fingers) The sand bed must be laid slightly in advance of the placement of the units but only to the extent that the particular area of paving can be completed within two hours on the same day. With the sun baking down, it should be limited to a few hours at a time and its moisture content should be continuously assessed on site. When bedding sand becomes dry, it should be raked back into a heap, moistened and spread out again. Important: The principle is to ensure you lay pavers on a bed of moist sand. Moist bedding sand will allow pavers to bed in. This is crucial to create a smooth, even paved surface. Bedding sand should be 25-35mm in its compacted state. To achieve this, it should be screeded to a thickness of 30mm-40mm, which will then compact to the correct thickness once pavers are installed. Bedding sand should be screeded with a straight edge (like a straight plank or similar), using rails in order to achieve the correct thickness. Important: Bosun does not recommend screeding freehand in a circular motion, without rails. Laying and setting out Lines must be set up at right angles to each other to control the alignment of the pavers. Align paving in a right angle with buildings. Joint widths of flexible installed pavers must be between 2 mm and 6 mm. All Bosun s pavers have spacer nibs to act as spacing guides when installing. First compaction Why: The first compaction levels the pavers. Compact pavers once they are laid, in sections. Bedding sand must be moist when the compaction takes place. This means that compaction should be done once a day (late afternoon) and more often when it is very hot. A plate compactor should be used but it is essential that a piece of rubber conveyor belting is attached to the base when installing anything but Interlockers.

6 A roller could also be used to achieve levelling. Ensure the roller s vibration is switched off. Important: Do not lay conveyor belting on the pavers and compact on it as this will absorb the forces and pavers will not be compacted properly. Do not compact with a bare metal plate as this will most certainly damage your pavers. Check and straighten lines and remove damaged pavers, after the first plate compaction. Use a special alignment bar in order to align and tighten pavers. Do not compact closer than 1 m of any free edge. Special, large rubber mallets could be used to bed and compact individual pavers in difficult areas. Temporary edge restraints should be used across the front laying edge when installation is to be continued the following day. o When this happens, remove the first two or three rows of pavers when you start the next morning and re-pack. These pavers would have moved during the night, opening up larger gaps than required. Cutting Why: Precision cutting ensures a solid installation without movement and the loss of grouting. Whole units must be laid first. Precisely cut pieces should then be fitted into gaps which are too small to lay complete pavers in, such as those which are close to edges and around manholes. Mark and cut one paver at a time using a block cutter. An angle grinder or masonry saw with diamond tipped blades could also be used. Do not use tiny cut pieces. Rather use a 2/3 and ½ paver in combination instead of a full paver and a small bit for instance. Do not cut on paving already installed. Fine concrete dust caused by cutting will cause stains. Always wear a dusk mask, gloves and goggles. Do not cut near other people. Precision cutting is critical for a neat finish. Grouting Why: Jointing sand creates interlock between pavers which prevents sagging and creeping. It also distributes loads to the layers underneath. The use of specially graded paving jointing sand is recommended because it offers the best interlocking capabilities. Plaster sand is however generally used for paving grouting in South Africa. Tip: Use light coloured plaster sand rather than red sand. Red plaster sand might stain your paving. Sand must be bone dry and swept into joints. Sweep diagonally across pavers and not along the lines. Go back and forth until all joints are completely filled. Do not use water to wash in sand between the pavers. Do not use a mix of dry sand and cement and then sprinkle water on it to hydrate. The cement left on pavers will stain the pavers. SmartStone does also not recommend the use of a cement slurry to be swept into joints between pavers. It might stain your pavers and cause picture framing, where pavers absorb moisture from the slurry. This phenomenon creates permanent white stains on the border of the pavers.

7 Second compaction Why: Vibrate sand in order to completely fill joints between the pavers. For the Urban and Linneo ranges of paving, use a large plate compactor with a rubber mat fixed to the base plate. Alternatively, use a roller with vibration switched off. Interlocking shaped pavers in large areas could be levelled with compactors without base protection. Sweep more sand into the joints as sand settles in the joints. Important: Sweep additional sand into the paving joints after two weeks, two months and thereafter as needed, or at least once a year before the rainy season. In areas with a high risk of sand washing out, we recommend the use of a water based joint stabiliser like Resiblock 22. When your budget allows, we recommend the use of this joint stabiliser for the whole paved surface. Resiblock 22 consists of a dual formula which acts as premium quality, paving sealant and joint stabiliser. It will therefore not only ensure sand stays in the paving joints but it will also protect your paving for ten years. Tip: Pavers should not be removed / replaced once jointing sand and the final compaction has been done. Efflorescence Because there are minerals and moisture in the soil and material we use to manufacture our products, your paving might be affected by efflorescence in its lifetime. It is a natural, temporary phenomenon which will disappear in time. Please refer to for more information.

8 Rigid installation method Recommended for pedestrian traffic and pavers or Bosun Hermetic Flagstones with jointing gaps larger than 5mm. *This method is also recommended for small pedestrian areas constructed with pavers like braai areas, little foot paths etc. as good earthworks is not generally the norm in such small areas. This is also the preferred method of installing most residential paving in South Africa. (Both driveways and walkways.) It is generally preferred because it hides imperfections for a longer period of time. This method however requires great skill and experience. It further takes more time and subsequently it will cost more when done properly. Earthworks or soil preparation Important: Good earthworks is critical for any paving installation irrespective of the method applied. Always consult an engineer for paving intended to carry commercial traffic. Always consider underground utilities before commencing with earthworks. Many installers will insist because they use a concrete bed for pavers, earthworks or soil preparation is not necessary. Many will say a sub base is over engineering for pedestrian areas. Bosun rejects this point of view. A sub base not only provides strength, it also negates the movement of soil below the pavement which in many instances cause grouting to crack and come loose. Option 1 (Recommended) For all paving installations. 1. Set out the area to be paved and excavate to a depth of ±250mm. (This should allow for a sub base of 150mm together with the thickness of pavers and bedding material used) 2. All tree roots and other plant matter should be removed. 3. Preferably use a roller to compact the earth after excavation. If a plate compactor is used, ensure its weight is at least 75kg. 4. Compact the earth to the point of refusal. 5. Install a sub base of 150mm with G5 material. (Your local SmartStone branch could assist in finding a supplier.) 6. Compact the sub base with a roller or plate compactor weighing at least 75kg. Again, compact this material to the point of refusal. A rough guideline to the number of passes is provided in Table Never attempt to compact layers thicker than 150mm. It will not compact sufficiently. 8. The sub base is the foundation layer of the paving. It should be smooth, level and the correct falls should be achieved with this material. 9. Do not install plastic sheeting beneath paving. Plastic sheets negatively affects the structural integrity of paving. It further does not prevent weed growth as weeds grow from the top and not through the paving.

Many paving failures occur due to ingress of water into the earthworks beneath the paving. Construct the necessary gradients in your foundation layer. Do not use bedding sand to fill up indentations or construct gradients. A gradient of 1:50 is recommended in one direction (transverse) and 1:80 in another (longitudinal). 1:50 means that there will be 1 unit of fall for every 50 units of driveway width. Example: Say a patio is to be 3m wide. If that distance is divided by 50, the result is the 1 unit of fall. From the above: Fall = 3,000mm 50 = 60mm So, there needs to be 60mm of fall across the patio.

10 It is also important to ensure that the paving is laid proud of (i.e mm higher than) drains or channels. Important: Underground water could adversely affect the appearance of your pavers as paving is porous. Tip: Generally speaking, in areas where buildings encounter problems with paint related rising damp, there might be issues with paving. Install subsoil drainage when there is evidence of high underground water tables or high levels of underground water. In certain instances, the application of a sealant or waterproofing agent to both sides of pavers might eliminate water absorption issues. Drainage channels and underground drainage pipes should be installed in certain areas like low points in steep driveways, around downpipes, against boundary walls etc. Carefully consider the natural land, walls and buildings when designing a drainage plan. Handling Why: Pavers are fragile. They could chip and break if not handled with care. Move pavers by means of special paver carts or pack them in wheelbarrows and unpack them one by one. Never throw pavers in wheelbarrows or front end loaders and tip them at the destination. There will be slight variances in colour between different batches and even packs of paving from any paving manufacturer anywhere in the world. It is therefore recommended to draw and install pavers from different packs during installation to avoid a patchy finish. Setting out Starting from a corner, use pegs and a taut nylon line, stretched from one known point to another in order to create the correct line and level. Next, set up another line at a 90 angle. Adjust the height to the thickness of the bedding material and pavers to be used. Just how line and level are established can be quite complicated. It all depends on the type of paving being laid, its relationship with the ground and any adjacent buildings, the pattern or layout being used, drainage and falls, and the overall plot or site. Certain rules are more or less fixed and will be implemented on every job falls should be away from the property, paving is usually best laid square to the building but even these have exceptions. Each job has its own peculiarities and the best way to establish line and level will probably change from job to job. Bedding Why: A paved installation should be level and flagstones should be bedded properly in concrete. Preparing a concrete bed. Bosun recommends a moist concrete mix. A moist concrete mix does not contain any water. It relies on the natural moisture within the sand, in the sub-base or sub-grade, and in the atmosphere, to initiate curing in the cement content. River sand used should therefore contain 4-8% moisture.

11 Tip: When squeezing a handful of this mortar, it means that no water should drip through the fingers. A 1:4 Cement : River Sand ratio is recommended. This mixture has a long working life and there will be no floating or displacement of material. Be aware that a moist mix might stain pavers. Therefore, be very careful for it not to come in contact with the face of pavers. Important: Pavers will not simply adhere to this concrete bed. It is necessary to pay special attention to this aspect as discussed below. There are three bedding options: Screeding This is tricky as concrete will hydrate quickly once screeded. Individual bedding. (Recommended by Bosun) Make an individual bed for each and every flagstone to be laid. Screed the whole surface area of the flagstone and not just four or five spots underneath it. Level it out and with a trowel. Spot Bedding (Definitely not recommended) Four or five spots of bedding material under flagstones. Understand that concrete bedding will always settle and you should have a feel by how much. If this aspect is not carefully considered, drainage will be affected. Ripple the surface of every individual flagstone bed. Rippling allows for more precise compaction, providing grooves for excess material to spread without leaving voids or compromising support. The concrete bed should be 40mm 50mm thick prior to settling. Buttering To achieve sound mortared joints, the receiving edges of the flagstones already laid need to be Buttered, that is, they need to be plastered with mortar to ensure a well-filled joint with some of the mortar trapped beneath the incoming flagstone. Use a 1:4 moist mix of cement and plaster sand for buttering. (This is the same mix used for jointing the flagstones, if a cement grout is preferred.) Bonding flagstones to the bedding course The bottom of pavers must be free from loose material and rough enough in order to create adhesion. Tip: Use a wire brush if necessary. Apply a bonding liquid to the bottom of every flagstone in order for it to adhere to the prepared concrete bed. The reason for this is that you want no movement in your flagstones as movement will eventually cause grouting problems. The best bonding agent in our experience is tile adhesive. When using tile adhesive, ensure the concrete bed is hydrated (hard). At the very least, the bottom of flagstones should be moist when placed on the bed but a special bonding material is definitely recommended.

12 Immediately clean bonding liquid from the surface of flagstones with a damp sponge but preferably be careful not to get any on the flagstones in the first instance. Laying flagstones Working from pavers already laid might cause problems. Flagstones might settle more and bedding material might be displaced. We recommend working from an unpaved area wherever practically possible. One edge of the flagstone should be placed on the bed, or on the edge of the preceding flag if working from existing, and gently lowered into place, making sure it s kept tight with the butter mortar and that it s not allowed to drop, which could disturb the bed. Bosun Hermetic flagstones have straight edges. Therefore, unlike wet cast flagstones the bottom and top of flagstones will be separated equally at the top and bottom of the paver. Unless it is flagstones designed with spacer nibs, never lay flagstones butt jointed. They will spall (chip and break). Some contractors prefer using spacing tools made with angle iron and some use paving or large tile spacers in order to maintain even grouting lines. Taut nylon guides are useful to keep lines straight. Lifting handles are great tools to avoid fingers getting stuck beneath flagstones and could in also serve as spacing guides. Tap down the flagstone with a paving or heavy non-marking rubber mallet. Tap the flags halfway between the centre and edge. Hitting flagstones too close to the edge will make edges sink in excessively and might break the flagstone. Ensure that flagstones don t rock and that there is no hollow spots underneath the pavers. If the bedding is not perfect, rather uplift, adjust the bedding and then relay. Use a straight edge to span several flags and spirit level to check falls. Cutting Preferably cut flagstones with a masonry saw with a diamond tipped blade. An angle grinder could also be used although a saw does provide better results. Mark and cut one paver at a time. Do not cut on paving already installed. Fine concrete dust caused by cutting will cause stains. Always wear a dusk mask, gloves and googles. Do not cut near other people. Precision cutting is critical for a neat finish. Jointing When laying different sized flagstones in combination, jointing gaps might affect the overall spacing. Do not use sand jointing between flagstones. Good jointing is time consuming and requires skill. Semi-dry grouting (Recommended) SmartStone recommends a 1:4 cement and plaster sand mix for jointing. There should just be enough water to loosely bind the sand and cement particles. Using a trowel, carefully work the mixture into joints and tool it town with a pointing iron. Remove excess grouting material from the pavers immediately.

13 Slurry grouting (Not recommended) Some contractors prefer a wet slurry. This can easily stain pavers and cause picture framing. When using the slurry, cleaning has to be done carefully, with sponge. Washing off the slurry with hose pipes will also seriously affect the strength of the joints. Dry grouting washed in with a hosepipe (Not recommended) This method is sure to stain paving. Important: grout must be kept moist for ±3 days in order to ensure proper curing Proprietary paving grout (Highly Recommended) Bosun has access to specialised grouting materials from Germany. These are proven solutions for jointing gaps larger than 5mm. Two grouting options at various compositions are available. Mix the imported liquid with sand supplied. Wet the paving. Squeegee the grout into joints. Sweep excess material from the pavers.
