INDEPENDENCE REGARDING MAIN WORKS

Paver panels ought to be independent in relation with main works to allow them to cope with expansion and contraction.

Provide for expansion and contraction :

• on piers with 2 coats of emulsion or 8mm bitumen expansion foam. Around the perimeter border 10mm expansion foam should be incorporated, then weatherproofed by caulking with silicon.
• Note : Expansion joints must not be bridged.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION

The minimum slope is 2-3% to allow for water escape. Always provide for a good ventilation of the underside of the paver panels. Floor panel being craned into position.
