Leave pavers wrapped on pallets and as dry as possible until just before laying.
After pallet wrapping is removed, ensure paver surfaces are evenly exposed to the air, do not stack "criss-crossed" or place objects on new pavers as framing/ hydration marks will occur in drying process.
For maximum protection, we recommend pavers are sealed after installation with a good quality penetrating sealer.
Masonry pavers should be laid on a layer of graded washed river sand over a firmly compact layer of roadbase.
DO NOT lay on crusher dust, metal dust or cracker dust as mottling will occur.
Don't use high-pressure blasters close to paver surface as damage can occur.
Efflorescence is an inherent problem with concrete products. We recommend cleaning with Sureseal EFF-Plus remover and sealing with a good quality sealer and good drainage in most cases will help prevent it occurring.
