Important Information 2 Have a bucket of clear water and several rags or sponges available. Using a damp rag (sponge), wipe the still fresh paint from the piece. Rinse the rag frequently. The more you wipe, the more paint you will remove. You want to remove enough paint to bring out the finer detail in the paver. Let dry. 3 Apply another coat of sealer. 4 Admire you work. For best results, read all product labels carefully. Please follow all safety precautions on the labels. SURFACE PREPARATION: For best results, surface must be clean. Clean surface with rubbing alcohol, diluted ammonia solution, or diluted muriatic acid. After cleaning, rinse with plenty of water. PAINT: Use only paints designated for exterior use. Any high quality exterior latex paint should give you years of service. We have had good results with a paint called “Patio Paint™” by DecoArt™. This paint is formulated for outdoor use on concrete. SEALING AS FIRST STEP: Most instructions do not call for sealing the paver before painting. If you use “Finish Perfect™ Concrete Lawn Ornament Sealer”, you are to seal the paver after cleaning. (This is the method we recommend, because it has proven to give excellent results.) Let the sealer dry. OPTIONAL SECOND STEP; Some people paint the entire paver with a base coat (usually white, but other colors can be used). Others skip the base coat and use the pavers natural color as the base coat. If you paint, let the paint dry. There are several ways to colorize your pavers. The ways are usually split into two categories; antiquing and painting. Antiquing Antique finishes usually use two colors to bring out the detail in a paver. Before proceeding be sure to follow the Important Information instructions. 1 Keep in mind that when this step is finished, the next step (step 2) must immediately follow this step. Spray or paint the item with a light coat of contrasting color (usually black, but other colors can be used for different effects). 40 Painting Painting will add true color and depth to your paver and make all of the fine details stand out. Before proceeding be sure to follow the Important Information instructions. This is actually a simple process. You can use any of the standard painting practices that are used to paint other artwork (rags, paint brush, or air spray). The advantage to painting decorative pavers is that the art work is already done. You only have to add the color. After you have painted your piece, seal it. MAINTENANCE: It is usually a good idea to apply a coat of sealer to you artwork every two years or whenever it looks like the sealer is weathering off (This last statement is especially true if your piece is subject to traffic.). “Finish Perfect™ Concrete Lawn Ornament Sealer” is available in Matte, Semi Gloss, and Gloss Finishes. Packaged in 8 and 16 ounce, and 1 and 5 gallon containers. “Patio Paint™” is available in 2 ounce bottles (48 colors) 8 ounce bottles (18 colors) and gallons. “Sandstone” (Adds a stonelike texture to your piece) is available in 4 oz.,16 oz., and 32 oz. bottles (15 colors). Guidelines for installation 1 2 3 PLANNING - Make a diagram of the area to be paved. Layout the dimensions on the diagram. This will help you determine the quantity of materials required for your job. Caution: Measurement listed for a product are often modular measurements. i.e. an 18” paver can actually measure anywhere from 17” to 18 1/2”. Check the accrual size of the pavers you will be using. LAYOUT - Check area to make sure there are no underground pipes or cables that your stakes or digging might hit. Stake out your area 4” wider than the planned area. Use stakes and run strings to use as straight edges to lay your pavers along. Note: Make sure you allow for water drainage away from buildings. (a slope of 1 inch in 4 feet to, but not less than, 1 inch in 10 feet) For heavier traffic: Depth will be: Paving stones thickness + 1” of sand or ashes. + 2” of stone. Sand & stone are to be compacted. Auto traffic: Depth to be: Paving stone thickness + 1” of sand+ 4” to 6” of stone. (The sand & stone must be mechanically compacted. (Compactors can be rented from a local tool rental store)). Note: You can increase the strength of your job, if you make the sand layer a damp cement mix (1 part cement of 5 parts sand). EXCAVATE - Keep in mind that a paved area is no better than the base it is laid on. Spend the necessary time of getting the base just right. This will make the laying of the pavers easier and the area will give You years of satisfactory service. The depth and composition of the base will depend on the use of the paved area. For all uses, remove all vegetation. For pedestrian traffic: If the ground is solid and has good drainage. Depth required will be: Paving stone thickness + thin layer of San or, Ashes.. 41 4 LAYING METHODS -There are several methods of laying paving stones: Laying on sand - Spread your layer of sand, level and compact. Then lay your pavers on this bed, if you need to level you can put in extra sand. Laying on a dry mortar mix. - Mix a 1 part cement to 5 parts sand mix (add no water). Place a thin layer on your compacted bed. Rack the thin layer leaving small peaks and troughs. Place the pavers on this bed and tamp with a rubber mallet or regular hammer with a board. (Do not strike too hard so that you don’t break the paver. If the paver is not level remove or add material in the base. The tamping is only to ensure that the mortar mix touches the entire base of the paver.) Guidelines for installation 5 6 6 Five spot Mortar Bed - This method involves putting 5 generous spots of mortar on the compacted sand bed (One in each corner and one in the middle). The mortar is 1 part cements to 5 parts mortar sand and enough water to make the mix “workable”. The mortar should spread out with light tamping on the paver. (see note above) JOINTS: Paving is intended to be butt-jointed; however, if one desires jointed, it is done once the paving is set. In climates that do not have a lot of freeze thaw cycles per winter season, a dry mix of 1 part cement to 3 parts dry sand is used to fill joints. This mix is placed on the dry pavers and swept into the joints. All of the mix is removed from the pavers and the area is very lightly sprinkled with water. Another method, is to use one of the new polymeric sands. These are excellent in keeping sand in place and moving under freeze-thaw conditions CUTTING: The best advice in this area is, try to lay out the paved area so that there is no cutting. If pavers must be cut, the best way is with a circular saw equipped with a diamond blade (available at most building supply outlets). Do not try to cut all the way through the paver. Score each side of paver (depth depends on paver thickness, but 1/4” to 1/2” is usually enough). Place the scored paver over a wooden block and tap with a hammer. SEALING: It is not necessary to seal your pavers, but sealing does provide protection. A sealed paver has a better chance of weathering freeze-thaw cycles, holding up from acid rain and carbonization, dirt is easier to remove, and usually looks better. Some sealers make the paver more slippery or make it less slippery. Finish Perfect Concrete Lawn Ornament Sealer (can be used on pavers) is one that we use because it reduces the slipperiness of the pavers). Always test your sealer on a small area, so that if something goes wrong it will not affect the over- 42 all appearance of your pavement. (Some sealers will change the color of the pavers.) Clean the pavers with diluted ammonia water or muriatic acid (Please observe all safety instructions on the labels). Wash cleaner off with plenty of water. Apply your sealer following the instruction on the label. WARNING: This information is provided as a guide to help you and is not intended to be a thorough, detailed installation guide. There are books available at the library, book stores, and building supply yards that provide complete instructions, with all the necessary safety information. Always use common sense around your paving job. Use all the necessary safety equipment to protect yourself and those around you. Watch children around your work area. Falling pavers, tools, and even your excavation can injure a child (and even adults). After finishing your job, we want you to look back at it with pride and satisfaction, so please be carefully.
