    The house has settled quite a bit over the years. The patio has a crack that runs along the wall, about a meter away from the wall. How should I prepare it before putting down pavers? The crack is about a 1/2 inch wide in some places. A gradual slope in the right direction.

Some of the manufacturer installation instructions I have seen recommend drilling weep holes in the slab. Thank you.

    If the concrete is sloped bad enough to require fixing, the amount of work needed to make it level will make it almost just as easy to remove it and lay pavers the normal way. You can use self leveling concrete, but that requires exact following of the instructions or else you can have it fail. You'll also need to build a form around your slab to hold it in. It's just not worth doing.

    The outside edge is pressed into the soil and stacked up to match the porch height. The porch slab has a completely different foundation that's not tied very well to those outside stones. Even with the adhesive, won't those outside stones shift after a few heavy rains and freeze/thaw cycles therefore distorting the outside perimeter?

  • @WesternInterlock

    @WesternInterlock

    2 жыл бұрын

    Sealing is the last step of any paving stone project. Whether or not to do it is completely up to you. There are several performance benefits with sealing such as less moss and weed growth, protection against stains, and color enhancement. The main drawback is that you can royally mess up your pavers if you do it wrong. You can watch our video on sealing here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoKDuMqilNKwmdo.html Here in the PNW, we recommend using solvent based sealers made specifically for paving stones such as SEK's 8700. They hold up best in our moist environment. If you live in a drier climate, you may be able to get away with using a water based sealer. What ever sealer that you choose, just make sure that it is a sealer formulated for paving stones, not one made for sealing concrete. They are different products all together.

    Hypothetically, if the bluestone was mortar set on concrete you could. However, if it is sand set, you will be placing a flexible surface over a flexible surface and the results will be disastrous. Regardless, we would recommend pulling up the bluestone and starting fresh from the base. The time spent will be worth it in the long run.

    People have shaved them off with a saw or ground them down, the only downside to that is that then it exposes more aggregate and doesn't look as clean. We used 40mm pavers for this overlay, but if you used standard 60mm you could use a coping like our Monaco for a cleaner look.

    There's no need to use glue to hold all of the pavers, just the outside. The middle is held by the outside and it can't fall up, so there's no need to glue those. The sand is there just to make up for any height variance in the pavers or the slab itself. I wouldn't recommend gluing all of them. It will greatly increase your work if you ever needed to do anything to the pavers and it will not allow the pavers to move at all.

    As thin as possible. The goal of the sand is to level out any imperfections in the concrete. It really just needs to be a skim coat. I think we put down 1/8".

    @@WesternInterlock All polymeric sands say they need min. 25mm deep joint for the sand to be effective. If you install 20mm pavers and subtract the 1/8" you need to leave clear at the top, that means the joints will not be filled deep enough for the polymeric sand to be effective. Any comments on that?

    So typically if a paver, or natural stone for that matter, isn’t the required 1 1/4” of depth for Polysweep, then as long as the entire joint (minus the 1/8” from top) is filled with the sand it will hold, other than driveway applications. Natural stone and porcelain are mostly 3/4” deep joints. It will bond in these situations as well. However, we recommend using wide joint sand because the depth is so shallow.

  • @WesternInterlock

    There's no real reason to glue them all. The outside edge holds them in place, and they're not going to fall up, so there's no reason to glue them down. Conceivably, you could glue them all down, but it would be cost prohibitive and take a lot longer. Once the outside it is restrained, those pavers aren't going anywhere. Pavers are a flexible system as well, so gluing them down would eliminate that benefit. If they're not glued down, they are allowed to move ever so slightly to accommodate environmental changes.

    What is considered a “small amount” of paver sand? Is there a minimum you would suggest? I have to meet a bottom step to meet with pavers that is already low allowing only for 3/8” of sand.

  • @WesternInterlock

    @WesternInterlock

    2 жыл бұрын

    Basically you want as little sand as possible. We use only 1/8" of sand for this. The purpose of the sand is to help even out any imperfections in the concrete and pavers to give a consistently flat finished surface. Additionally, if you have too much sand, it can make your glued down outer layer much lower than the field and the resulting lip will be a cosmetic flaw and a tripping hazard.

  • @mannyaldava9464

    In theory you can, yes. The point of putting the sand underneath is to allow for any surface imperfections in the concrete slab. If you glued them straight down, anything that is imperfect about the slab will telegraph right up through the pavers.
