technical informationblock pavingImportant Information

Any technical information provided by Tobermore in relation to any product (whether before or after order) is provided by way of GUIDANCE ONLY and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without liability on the part of Tobermore for any loss or damage suffered as a result of relying upon it. Such technical information should not be relied upon in substitution for obtaining independent expert advice prior to using any product from both a suitably qualified engineer and building contractor, in particular, as to the suitability of the product for use at the intended site for the intended scheme.

Block paving is now an established product in the construction industry and has a number of British Standards (BS) dedicated to the range to ensure it is professionally installed. Refer to the following relevant BS guidelines for detailed information.

Note: BS guidelines are subject to change and therefore you should refer to www.bsigroup.com for the latest version.

Other important references include - British Port Association heavy duty pavement design manual: “The structural design of heavy duty pavements for ports and other industries”.

Important notesEdge restraintIt is essential that the paved area is restrained at the edges to prevent movement. The edge restraints prevent rotation of the blocks under load, reducing the possible loss of laying course material at boundaries and resists lateral movement.

Laying courseIf grit is used as the laying course, then fine sand must not be used for jointing as the fine sand can percolate into the bedding layer causing pavement failure.

Jointing sandBlock paving is capable of supporting substantial loads because the presence of sand in the joints generates significant friction between adjacent blocks and thereby distributes loads horizontally across the surface of the pavement from block to block. For this reason blocks should not be mortar jointed. Jointing sand is available from Tobermore. Sand is purchased separately from paving. Very fine jointing sand is not suitable for heavily trafficked areas. Refer to BS7533-3 for all jointing sand specifications. (It’s worth pointing out that the vast majority of contractors apply the jointing sand before consolidation. This is found to give better results and does not conflict with BS 7533:3).

Recess manhole coversTobermore can supply manhole surrounds suitable for domestic applications only.

Tegula and Sienna Circles laying instructionsThe following information is provided as guidance from Tobermore on how to lay your Tegula and Sienna Circles.

The basic circle pattern guide

Note: After row 7, the Paving Circle diameter is increased using Tegula Setts and Sienna Setts.

We provide you with the optimum number of bricks to create a circle, size 1.5m diameter. To achieve the best possible circle it is recommended that you follow this pattern precisely. It should be noted, however, that in outer rows of the circle you may need to provide spaces between the blocks. For further assistance contact Tobermore.

permeablepaving

the benefits of

The solution to flooding problems is the use of more sustainable methods of storm water drainage which take into account quantity, quality and social issues. These are now referred to as SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems).

SUDS are made up of a number of structures, which include:

• Permeable pavements• Swales and filter strips• Basins and wetlands• Infiltration devices

They are more sustainable because they:

• deal with runoff close to where it falls;• manage potential flooding at its source;• protect or enhance water quality;• provide a habitat for wildlife in urban areas;• protect water resources from accidental spills and pollution;• allow new development in areas where existing sewerage systems are at full capacity, enabling new development within existing areas;• are sympathetic to the environmental setting and the needs of the local community;• encourage natural groundwater recharge.

The inclusion of a permeable paving surface as part of a SUDS solution will not only increase the likelihood of planning proposals being approved but may also offer the developer a 10-15% cost savings over traditional methods due to a significant reduction in drainage costs (pipes, manholes, petrol interceptors etc). Machine laying the paving blocks also reduces costs.

Water quality improvement Permeable paving is very effective at removing pollution from runoff. The pollutants may remain on the surface or may be flushed into the underlying pavement layers where a very high percentage of the pollutants are filtered, trapped or degrade over time. Expensive petrol interceptors, which are used in traditional drainage schemes, are generally no longer required due to the natural removal of pollutants through the permeable paving sub-base. For more detailed information on water quality please refer to the Guide to the design, construction and maintenance of concrete block permeable pavements - Edition 6 produced by Interpave available for download on www.paving.org.uk

Four elements of permeable pavingThere are four elements which make up permeable paving:

1 Permeability2 Detention of storm water3 Pollution control4 Structure

Permeability The Hydropave range of products have permeability rates in excess of 1800 litres/sec/hectare, providing a significant safety factor on the required permeability rates of 180 litres/sec/hectare.

Detention The sub-base thickness should be designed to detain rain falling throughout 24 hours and must provide at least 30% void space. A 4/20mm coarse open graded crushed rock to BS EN13242:2002, value of 100kN or more must be used. If the designer opts to specify alternative materials, a site trial must be undertaken to ensure that the laying course material does not invade the sub-base material.

The laying course and jointing material must be a 6.3-2mm grit to BS EN13242:2002. This has been proven in tests to perform best and will not invade the sub-base material. In ground conditions where water cannot infiltrate into the subgrade, an impermeable membrane must be laid between the subgrade and sub-base and wrapped up the sides to detain the water.

Pollution As water flows slowly into the sub-base it collides with individual aggregate components and deposits pollutants on their surface. The large surface area of the aggregates will ensure effective filtering of the pollutants which are then broken down by natural microbial action or eventually rest at the bottom.

Structure The specification of a permeable paving structure depends upon the hydraulic and traffic loading characteristics and upon the properties of the subgrade. Most pavements in the UK will be required to have a water detention capability rather than infiltration because of the subgrade types. It is recommended to design a permeable paving system to store rainfall occurring during 24 hours.

Paving blocks & jointing grit

Tobermore have a wide range of Hydropave blocks available and they have a permeability of 1800 litres/sec/hectare which more than meets the 180 litres/sec/hectare requirement. The blocks are jointed using a 6.3-2mm grit to BS EN 7533-13:2009*

Bedding layer The blocks are jointed using a 6.3-2mm grit to BS EN 7533-13:2009*

Sub-base A clean 4/20mm coarse graded aggregate** to BS EN 13242:2002 must be used for this component. A crushed rock angular stone works best.

technical informationhydropave permeable pavingImportant Information


What types of systems are available?There are two common types of permeable paving systems; Attenuation and Infiltration.

TYPICAL ATTENUATION SYSTEM

The Attenuation system temporarily stores the water in the crushed stone beneath the paving before being slowly released back into the drainage systems. This therefore reduces the peak downstream flow from a result of heavy rainfall.

TYPICAL INFILTRATION SYSTEM

The Infiltration system allows the water to flow slowly through the crushed stone beneath the paving before being slowly released back into the ground through a geotextile.

What system should I use?Tobermore can introduce you to specialist engineers, who can provide design advice for your permeable paving project.

What are the key components of a permeable paving system?The key components of the system are:

• Paving blocks & jointing grit• Bedding layer• Sub-base

As long as the system has been adequately designed for the site the most important next step is to get these components right.

designHow do I design a permeable paving system? Refer to the following source of information:

• BS7533-13:2009 Pavements constructed with clay, natural stone or concrete pavers. Guide for the structural design of permeable pavements.

If you require specialist advice Tobermore can put you in contact with experienced design consultants.

Upper geotextile An upper geotextile may be used between the sub-base and the bedding layer. Please refer to BS7533-13:2009 for further information.

What if the ground is poor or there will be significant vehicles on the paving? Various improvement layers can be installed below the permeable paving to ensure the system can meet the structural load on the project. The engineer on the project will design these into it based on the loading category required. The two most common types of improvement layers are Dense Bitumen Macadam (DBM) and Cement Stabilised Coarse Graded Aggregate (CSCGA).

* In particular, the material should be categorised as LA30, Fl20 and MDE20 according to table A.3 within this standard. The grit should be insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid and should be naturally occurring material.

** You must ensure the grit and coarse graded aggregate are compatible. For example, if you use a finer grit it may perculate into the sub-base and may destabilise the pavement.

Specifications for Dense Bitumen Macadam and Cement Stabilised Coarse Graded Aggregate can be found in BS 7533-13:2009. Method statements on how to install these layers can be supplied on request.

What is the ratio required of permeable area (Hydropave) to impermeable areas (roads, roofs etc)? Sometimes, water from building roofs or nearby impermeable areas is fed into permeable paving. It is best to do this only in the case of attenuation systems when a typical ratio of 2:1 can be used between impermeable and permeable zones.

Note: A permeable paving design relies heavily on using the correct aggregates. Prior to installation, we would ask you to test both the 4/20mm coarse graded aggregate and also the 6.3-2mm bedding and jointing grit as per the relevant British Standard specification (BS EN 13242:2002). In particular, the material should be categorised as LA20 according to Table 9, SZ18 according to Table 10 and MDE15 according to Table 11 within this standard. The grit should be insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid and should be naturally occurring material. In our experience, incorrect use of aggregates is one of the most common reasons for failure of a permeable paving system.

installationHow to install a permeable paving system Please refer to the following sources of information - BS 7533-3:2005 Pavements constructed with clay, natural stone or concrete pavers. Part 3: Code of practice for laying precast concrete paving blocks and clay pavers for flexible pavements.

Sub-base: 4/20mm aggregate After putting the required depth of stone in position, it needs to be re-orientated using either a tandem roller or a plate vibrator.

Bedding layer: 6.3-2mm laying course material The bedding layer should be screeded over the 4/20mm.

Paving blocks When the blocks are placed to the chosen pattern they should be plate vibrated, before the 6.3-2mm grit is brushed into the joints until they are completely filled.

Joint filling All joints must be filled to the top with 6.3-2mm grit. Joints,which are not fully filled can lead to possible movement of the blocks after use. We recommend that after a few weeks use that any joints, which have settled and are not full, are topped up with grit. Joints should be kept filled at all times. You will need approximately 1 ton of grit for every 100m2 of 80mm paving.

Note: Care should be taken that the permeable joints do not become contaminated as work on the scheme is completed. Special care needs to be taken when soft landscaping is carried out so that soil does not enter the joints. When this type of work is being carried out, the surface of the permeable paving should be protected by an appropriate cover to protect the joints from being contaminated.

Adverse weather Due to the superior drainage capabilities of Hydropave it is possible to install the product in more adverse weather conditions compared to standard paving.

maintenanceFor optimum performance we recommend that paving is cleaned twice a year.

Initial cleaning When an area has just been paved, allow it to settle for a few weeks. After this, you may wish to lightly hose down the paving to remove any excess dirt. The area should then be treated with a weed killer suppressant, two or three times a year as required. General dirt Regular sweeping to prevent the build up of detritus is recommended. Light coloured blocks, emphasise tyre marks and oil spills on the pavement. It must be accepted that these products will need more maintenance if the overall appearance is to be maintained.A light power hose at medium pressure is generally all that is required to clean general dirt and grime. Any jointing grit which is removed must be replaced. Do not use high pressure power-washers as aggressive power-washing can damage the product surface. A trial area should be tested before large scale power-washing takes place.

Do not use vacuum sweepers as jointing grit may be removed.

Refer to the following sources of information – Guide to the design, construction and maintenance of concrete block permeable pavements Edition 6 produced by Interpave available for download on www.paving.org.uk How to clean clogged joints After several years use, joints may become clogged with detritus and it may be necessary to clean them. This can be done as follows:

1. Remove existing jointing grit and detritus by high pressure water jet.

2. Reset the pavers which will have become displaced. Replace any damaged pavers at this time since they will have been loosened.

3. Apply 6.3-2mm single size grit to the joints, using a stiff brush to sweep the material in, ensuring joints are filled.

4. Finish off as above.

catalogue of designs

The following common designs are intended solely for use at scheme appraisal stage and should not be relied upon in substitution for obtaining a permeable paving design that has been prepared by a suitably qualified engineer specifically for the scheme.

Note: In the case of attenuation designs, subgrade CBR values are equilibrium moisture content values. In the case of infiltration designs, subgrade CBR values are soaked values. Capping thickness may need to be adjusted upwards to achieve a firm working platform which can sustain loads from construction traffic without deforming excessively and which can offer sufficient reaction to allow the overlying materials to be fully compacted. All pavements must meet the requirements of BS7533 Part 3 in terms of installation. The thicknesses of coarse graded aggregate will be suitable for the traffic conditions shown and in the case of attenuation designs should be sufficiently thick to meet the attenuation requirements. However, a site specific hydraulic analysis should be carried out

using the method set out in the Interpave Guidelines. In the case of infiltration designs, there is usually no need to check hydraulic capacity but a check must be made on the infiltration capacity of the ground. (The ground must be proven to accept sufficient water which will have to be scaled up if the pavement is infiltrating water draining towards it from impermeable paving or from downpipes.) Where traffic weights exceed those commonly encountered on public highways, specialised design advice should be sought. Where light vans are included, their maximum capacity is 15kN (300cwt).

Sub-base & Capping LayersCapping thickness to be sufficient to provide a firm working platform or in the case of low CBR subgrades ground stabilisation may be more cost effective. If CBR is 5% or greater then capping layers are not required. It is advised that all sites need independent inspection and assessment by a suitably qualified engineer prior to project commencement.

types

Blister flags enable the partially blind to distinguish between different types of crossing zones.

Red relates to controlled crossing zones, while Buff is available to distinguish uncontrolled crossing zones.

Off Sett Blister flags are used to indicate the edge of the platform at rail and tram stations.

This pattern of half-rod shaped bars provides warning of a hazard which requires caution e.g. at the top and bottom of a flight of stairs, at a cross-roads on a shared pedestrian/cycleway, at a level crossing.

It is recommended that the surface be in contrasting colour to the surrounding area so as to assist partially sighted people.

This bar pattern is used on a shared pedestrian/cycle route, which is not segregated by different levels. It is laid in two orientations, transverse to denote pedestrian path and longitudinal to denote cycle path.

It is recommended that the surface be in contrasting colour to the surrounding area so as to assist partially sighted people.

technical informationstepsImportant Information


There is a wide range of documents and guidance on what aspects need to be taken into consideration when designing stepped access to and from buildings.

The following documents should be referred to for specific guidance:


Important notesTactile FlagsTobermore also supply a range of Tactile Flags. See page 75.

Delineation StripsAll delineation strips are tested for slip resistance in both wet and dry conditions to BS 7976-2:2002. The strips are made from Aluminium Oxide formed in a rigid PVC channel. Care should be taken not to use solvent based cleaners as this can affect the Aluminium Oxide.

Light Reflective Value (LRV)An important consideration for step access is the Light Reflective Value (LRV) of the products that are being considered for use. Products with a sufficient difference in LRV can assist blind and partially sighted people to distinguish between them. Tobermore can provide the LRV results on all products in this brochure. Contact Tobermore for further information.

calculating the radius of a curveThe size of any radius can be determined by measuring the length of a chord stretched between the arc and then measuring a perpendicular to that chord at the centre. This is illustrated in the diagram below.

This is a handy equation often used on site to determine the size of an unknown radius that is to be kerbed, so that the correct size of radius kerbs can be used.

The size of a radius is ALWAYS measured to the face of the kerbline, whether the radius is internal or external. This applies to channel blocks as well as kerbs. In a situation such as that illustrated, both the kerbs and the channel blocks are the same stated radial size.

advantagesof Tobermore facing bricks

Tobermore are a World Class manufacturer and therefore our products provide a number of significant advantages.

Manufacturing standardsTobermore products are manufactured in accordance with an accredited ISO9001:2008 quality system. The facing brick products are manufactured to BS EN 771-3:2011

Environmental Standards & CredentialsManufacturing facilities are accredited to ISO14001:2004 Environmental Management. The company publish Environmental labels and declarations in accordance with ISO14021:2001. Facing brick have a Carbon Footprint of 22kgCo2/m2. All facing bricks are manufactured with 100% renewable energy and 100% water used from rainwater harvesting systems.

Availability & DeliveryTobermore have one of the largest factories in the UK and Ireland which spans over a 50 acre site. Product is available from stock or made to order within a very short time frame (2-3 weeks). Over 98% of GB deliveries arrive on the day of request which provides customers confidence in supplying material on time.

ColourTobermore only use the best Iron Oxide pigments available on the market to produce the distinctive colour range available within facing brick. These pigments are manufactured to BS EN 12878. The colour is throughout the product. Tobermore can demonstrate the excellent colour retention properties through completed projects.

DurabilityAll Tobermore facing bricks are categorised as frost resistant (F2) as proven by independent laboratory tests.

VoidsTobermore facing brick are manufactured with three perforated voids in each brick. This provides significant benefits to the brick layer as the product will bond to the mortar on both sides. This will help to reduce the issue of floating.

StrengthTobermore facing bricks exceed a minimum crushing strength in excess of 22N/ mm2 and comfortably exceed the performance requirements of the standard. Tobermore facing brick will gain strength with age.

EfflorescenceTobermore use market leading vapour curing technology in the manufacture of all facing bricks. Facing bricks are vapour cured for a minimum 12 hour period which significantly reduces the possibility of efflorescence.

ChoiceTobermore produce facing bricks in colours which fully complement and blend with the wide range of block paving and paving flag products also on offer.

TolerancesTobermore manufacture products on the best manufacturing machines and moulds available on the market. This ensures tolerances are accurate and consistent.

AggregatesTobermore own and produce the sand and aggregate which is used to manufacture the product. This ensures we are in complete control of the main raw materials and guarantee consistency of quality.

PacksTobermore facing brick packs are palletised, shrink wrapped, and weigh approximately 1.2 tonne. Blended coloured bricks are contained within each pack. It is desirable to mix from three or four different pallets.

SpecialsTobermore have an extensive range of specials available. See pages 110-111.

Mortars and Expansion JointsMortars and expansion joint recommendations should be decided by the architect in accordance with BS EN 5628. Tobermore Kingston and Lansdowne Facing Bricks can be used for vertical movement joints at intervals of 7.5m-9m, when used with the correct mortar and design principles in accordance with BS5628 and PD6697.

technical informationwalling & masonryImportant Information


Walling and masonry are established products in the construction industry and have a number of British Standards (BS) dedicated to ensure they are professionally installed. Refer to the following relevant BS guidelines for detailed information.


installationCountry Stone - InstallationTobermore’s Country Stone products are designed to recreate traditional stone sizes and to co-ordinate with standard cavity wall construction. When used in housing projects, a clear cavity must be retained. All work must be protected during construction and must be designed and built in accordance with accepted industry standards and practice. Builders familiar with conventional brickwork will find that similar installation principles apply.Joints can be finished flush or tooled depending on the overall effect required. Raked joints are not recommended. It is vital that all horizontal and vertical joints between Country Stone blocks must be compacted and free from voids. Shell bedding should not be used.

Country Stone - Laying PatternsCountry Stone is available in a range of sizes which can be laid random, coursed, random brought to course and mixed pack single course. Contact Tobermore for Laying Patterns.

Facing Bricks - InstallationTobermore’s Facing Brick products are designed to co-ordinate with standard cavity wall construction. When used in housing projects, a clear cavity must be retained. All work must be protected during construction and must be designed and built in accordance with accepted industry standards and practice. Builders familiar with conventional brickwork will find that similar installation principles apply.Bricks should be handled with care and stored on a level, free-draining surface that is protected from the elements. Polythene wrapping provides protection from the weather. If this is removed it should be replaced or alternative protection needs to be provided.When work stops or is interrupted by inclement weather conditions, brickwork should be protected immediately with polythene sheeting that is held in place with a suitable fixing. If new brickwork is not protected efflorescence, patchy mortar colour, patchy brickwork and staining can occur. It should be noted that laying of brickwork should be discontinued when the temperature falls below 3°c or when frost is imminent. Facing bricks should be constructed in areas that are greater than 10m away from de-icing salts.

Facing Bricks - Mortars and expansion joints Mortars and expansion joint recommendations should be decided by the architect in accordance with BS EN 5628. Tobermore Kingston and Lansdowne Facing Bricks can be used for vertical

BS 5628-3:2005 Code of practice for the use of masonry. Materials and components, design and workmanship.

movement joints at intervals of 7.5m-9m, when used with the correct mortar and design principles in accordance to BS5628 and PD6697.

maintenanceRoutine cleaning and maintenance is required to keep the overall appearance of products in pristine condition.

Good Practice during Construction • If mortar dry’s on the surface of the bricks it will stain the

product and may not be removed.• Mortar extruding from joints should be removed when the

mortar is wet and during the process of laying.• Any mortar smears on the brick surface should be removed

by dry or wet brushing.• Scaffolding should be installed as per regulatory instructions.

Please note that mortar can drop and hit the scaffolding and then also go onto the wall. You should inspect the work area at all times to ensure the brick surface remains mortar free.

• When it rains be careful that any wet mortar on the scaffolding does not get ‘splashed’ onto the wall.

• When work stops or is interrupted by inclement weather conditions, brickwork should be protected immediately with polythene sheeting that is held in place with a suitable fixing. If new brickwork is not protected efflorescence, patchy mortar colour, patchy brickwork and staining can occur.

• Bricks should always be covered with polythene sheets to avoid getting damp or dirty when not being used.

General Cleaning Advice • It is always important to keep bricks as clean as possible

while laying and tooling. See Good Practice above.• If mortar has been allowed to dry on the surface of the bricks

the options you have to clean it off are as follows; Each process should be tested first and should ensure the facing bricks are not damaged - a. Dry brushing b. Wet brushing c. Using a ‘like coloured’ brick to rub the stained brick d. Pressure washing - should only be used as a last resort as it will damage the surface and the mortar joint if not completed correctly (this method cannot be attempted until the area has been allowed to set for a minimum of 7 days)

• Acid cleaning should be avoided

technical informationsecura retaining wallsImportant Information


Methods of constructionThere are two common types of retaining wall systems; Gravity and reinforced.

gravity retaining wallsGravity retaining walls depend on the weight of their mass to resist pressures from behind and are ideal for retaining walls up to 1.25 metres high.

Suitable Secura productsSecura LiteSecura Grand

reinforced retaining wallsGeogridGeogrid is the most commonly used material to reinforce retaining walls above 1.25m metres. It is a mesh-like material installed in layers between the blocks and covered with backfill which is then compacted. This creates a soil mass structure behind the wall, resisting the forces acting against it.

Suitable Secura productsSecura Grand

Concrete BackfillConcrete is poured into the space behind the blocks and the excavated space, it then acts as a homogenous mass designed to be a mass gravity wall.

This method generally reduces the space required behind the retaining wall by around half compared to that required for geogrids. It is a more expensive option so is only specified where space is limited.

drainage, geogrid & backfillguidelines

Drainage 1. Lay a drainage pipe at the back of the wall and cover with graded granular filter, maximum stone size 20mm.

Geogrid For all reinforced retaining walls using Tobermore Secura products we would recommend a Fortrac Geogrid. No substitutes allowed. Fortrac Geogrids are available from Tobermore.

1. Place the Geogrid on top of the block at the specified course ensuring that the edge is 25mm back from the front of the block.

2. Roll out Geogrid ensuring that the principal reinforcement direction is perpendicular to the wall. Also ensure that the Geogrid is butt joined and never overlapping. Cut geogrid to required length.

3. Place the next course of blocks on top of the Geogrid and slide forward to hold in place.

4. Further courses of blocks may be placed in position up to the next specified Geogrid course.

5. Lay the Geogrid on top of the compacted backfill, ensuring that it is lying flat on the backfill. Pull the Geogrid taut to remove any rucks, folds or wrinkles.

6. Continue building the wall, placing the Geogrid and compacting the backfill as above to the required height.

Backfilling1. Place the supplementary backfill on the Geogrid and spread it out away from the wall, leaving a gap of 150mm - 300mm between the wall

and the supplementary backfill.

2. Fill the gap between the wall and the compacted layer with drainage backfill, maximum stone size 20mm.

3. Compact the supplementary backfill in 250mm layers, working from the wall towards the rear of the Geogrid.

4. Compaction by plate vibrator is recommended. Vibrating or static rollers should not be used within 1 metre from the back of the wall. Compacting specifications can be obtained from Tobermore.

Notes: The above diagram illustrates the construction of straight walls using Geogrid. (For the construction of curved walls contact Tobermore)

(As referred to in Tobermore’s Conditions of Sale)

CORE TERMS (PAVING & WALLING)

ProductAll products should be carefully inspected for defects or damage upon delivery and prior to being laid or fitted.

Product Information Within Tobermore, design and development of products is a continuing process, and product information is subject to change without notice. Accordingly, please check with Tobermore to ensure that the product information you have represents the most up-to-date product information.

Installation All products should be installed in accordance with the latest British Standard.

ColourTobermore produces paving and walling products with excellent density and durability, however, as with all concrete products, slight colour variations and/or weathering may occur.Although every effort is made to ensure consistency of product colour, variations between production batches can occur. In particular single colours such as Red, Charcoal, Buff, Natural and Golden will have variations if products are ordered at different times. Tobermore therefore recommends that when purchasing products, especially in larger quantities, they all come from the same batch and that products are thoroughly mixed on site by drawing from a minimum of 3 pallets.The colour of new paving blocks, flags and walling products will inevitably vary compared to those which have been laid for a period of time.All colour illustrations in Tobermore’s brochures are as accurate as the printing process will allow. For a more accurate colour match refer to actual product samples available from any of Tobermore’s Paving and Walling Centres.

EfflorescenceEfflorescence is a white crystalline deposit that occurs naturally on the surface of concrete materials. Tobermore use market leading technology to significantly suppress the occurrence of efflorescence, however, if it occurs, it may mask the colour of the product for a period of time, but tends to be washed away gradually by rain. Tobermore do not replace products with efflorescence. Packs of products which have had packaging removed should always be re-covered with appropriate packaging to prevent the occurrence of secondary efflorescence.

Surface ScratchesMinor scuffs or bruises may occur during installation (for example, during any plate vibrating process). In Tobermore’s experience, these marks usually weather off through time.

OrderingTo avoid waste, please ensure that your contractor accurately measures the area on site before ordering products. In Tobermore’s experience, dimensions taken from a project plan can vary significantly from the final layout.

Manufacturing & Quality SystemsTobermore is a BS EN ISO 9001:2000 and BS EN ISO 14001 registered company. Tobermore uses an integrated management system to manage all health & safety and environmental issues.

Product MaintenanceRoutine cleaning and maintenance is required to keep the overall appearance of products in pristine condition.

Laying multi-blend coloured paving blocks, flags and walling productsTo achieve an even blend of colour when laying multi-blend paving blocks, flags and walling products, it is desirable to mix from 3 or 4 different pallets.

Why put up with efflorescence spoiling your job...

What is Efflorescence?Efflorescence is the single biggest problem encountered by manufacturers of concrete paving products, as the ugly white stains spoil the appearance of the paving and not surprisingly customers are unhappy.

Reduced efflorescenceWithin our manufacturing process we have taken a number of steps to ensure that the occurrence of efflorescence is very significantly reduced on all Tobermore block paving and slabs.

...when you can have this?

Queries & ComplaintsPlease contact one of Tobermore’s Paving & Walling Centres or offices (contact details at www.tobermore.co.uk) with any queries or complaints. Any complaints must be notified to Tobermore without delay.

CORE TERMS (PAVING ONLY)

Product MaintenanceLight coloured paving blocks and flags emphasise tyre marks and oil spills on the driveway. Please note that these products will need more maintenance if overall appearance is to be maintained.

Initial CleaningWhen an area has just been paved, allow it to settle for a few days. After this, you may wish to lightly hose down the paving to remove any excess sand or dirt. The area should then be treated with a weed killer suppressant 2-3 times per year as required.

General CleaningPaving requires regular maintenance, including regular sweeping to prevent the build up of detritus. Tobermore recommends that paving is cleaned 2-3 times per year.For general cleaning of dirt and algae, vigorous brushing with a stiff yard brush with plenty of hot detergent solution (washing up liquid or non-bio washing powder), thoroughly rinsed with clean water, should suffice. Repeated treatment may be required for paved areas sited beneath trees or in permanent/near permanent shade.A light power hose at medium pressure is generally all that is required to clean general dirt and grime. Any jointing material which is removed must be replaced. Do not use high pressure powerwashers as aggressive power-washing can damage the product surface. A trial area should be tested before large scale powerwashing takes place.

Moss, Lichen and AlgaeThick growths of moss or lichen must be removed first by scraping out the joints and then treating the area with a moss killer such as anti-moss paving cleaner. Anti-moss is designed to remove moss, lichens and algae. It is best applied in dry weather. After being applied it will take a few days to be fully effective. Once the moss and lichens have been killed, they can easily be brushed off. Anti-moss also leaves a residue in the sand joint which will help reduce the likelihood of re-growth. The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed when using any cleaning agent.

WeedsLarge weeds should be removed by hand and then the area treated with a weed killer (available from any good garden centre). Smaller weeds can then be treated directly with weed killer and these weeds should start to die within days. The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed when using any weed killing agent.

Block Paving SealerIt is possible to seal block paving with a resin material which combats staining and weed growth and which also enhances colour and appearance. The acrylic sealer is sprayed onto the block paving and forms a ‘skin’ on top of the paving and the jointing material giving an easily maintained finish. The manufacturer’s instructions should always be followed when using any sealing agent.

FOR HYDROPAVE PRODUCTS

Installation - HydropaveTobermore recommends that its Hydropave products be installed in conjunction with a BS EN 7533-13:2009 designed permeable paving system. Please note: a permeable paving design relies heavily on

using the correct aggregates. Prior to installation, we would ask you to test both the 4/20mm coarse graded aggregate and also the 6.3-2mm bedding and jointing grit as per the relevant British Standard specification (BS EN7533-13:2009). In particular, the material should be categorised as LA30, FI20 and MDE20 according to Table A.3, within this standard. The grit should be insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid and should be naturally occurring material. In our experience, incorrect use of aggregates is one of the most common reasons for failure of a permeable paving design. All joints must be filled to the top with 6.3-2mm grit. Joints which are not fully filled can lead to possible movement of the blocks after use. We recommend that after a few weeks use that any joints, which have settled and are not full, are topped up with grit. Joints should be kept filled at all times. You need approximately 1 ton of grit for every 100m2 of 80mm paving. Care should be taken that the permeable joints do not become contaminated as work on the scheme is completed. Special care needs to be taken when soft landscaping is carried out so that soil does not enter the joints. If any other design methodology is to be used take independent expert advice in advance.

FOR FACING BRICK PRODUCTS

Installation – Facing BricksTobermore’s Facing Brick products are designed to co-ordinate with standard cavity wall construction. When used in housing projects, a clear cavity must be retained. All work must be protected during construction and must be designed and built in accordance with accepted industry standards and practice. Builders familiar with conventional brickwork will find that similar installation principles apply.Bricks should be handled with care and stored on a level, free-draining surface that is protected from the elements. Polythene wrapping provides protection from the weather. If this is removed it should be replaced or alternative protection needs to be provided.When work stops or is interrupted by inclement weather conditions, brickwork should be protected immediately with polythene sheeting that is held in place with a suitable fixing. If new brickwork is not protected efflorescence, patchy mortar colour, patchy brickwork and staining can occur. It should be noted that laying of brickwork should be discontinued when the temperature falls below 3°c or when frost is imminent.Facing bricks should be constructed in areas that are greater than 10m away from de-icing salts.

FOR COUNTRY STONE PRODUCTS

Installation - Country StoneTobermore’s Country Stone products are designed to recreate traditional stone sizes and to co-ordinate with standard cavity wall construction. When used in housing projects, a clear cavity must be retained. All work must be protected during construction and must be designed and built in accordance with accepted industry standards and practice. Builders familiar with conventional brickwork will find that similar installation principles apply.Joints can be finished flush or tooled depending on the overall effect required. Raked joints are not recommended. It is vital that all horizontal and vertical joints between Country Stone blocks must be compacted and free from voids. Shell bedding should not be used.

FOR SECURA PRODUCTS

Installation - SecuraAll Secura products should be installed in accordance with British Standard BS8002. When constructing a retaining wall, ensure that you follow the design provided by the scheme engineer.
