Larsen Streetscape FBC permeable ECO – DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
PREPARATION
The base should meet the requirements of BS 7533 part 101 dependent on the type and level of traffic. All substrates must be suitable to receive the bedding mortar as per current good working practices. All substrates for bound construction should be clean, thoroughly sound and free from oils, grease, dust, loose particles or any other contaminants which may interfere with adhesion. They should be pre-soaked but free from standing water.
BONDING MORTAR
Larsen Streetscape PS ECO (bonding mortar). Bonding mortar is necessary in bound system B as per BS 7533 part 101. When measured in combination with the bedding mortar, Larsen Streetscape PS ECO bonding mortar should be applied to the base and underside of the paving element in order to provide an adhesion bond strength of ≥2.0 MPa; this is from the base to the bedding mortar and paving element to bedding mortar.
MIXING
Add 1.8 L of water per 25 kg bag to achieve the desired workability. Mix with a suitable mechanical mixer for a minimum of 3 minutes. Larsen Streetscape FBC Eco Permeable is designed to be used semi dry / moist consistency at the above water ratios. Should extra water be added to gain a more pliable workability, the hardened properties of the mix will be reduced. If too little water is used, the bedding will be too dry to bind together, achieve correct compaction or hydrate the binder element. Workability should be checked regularly using the “snowball” test. Do not remix or wet up FBC which has gone off.
APPLICATION
Bedding depths of between 30 mm and 75 mm can be placed in a single layer. Greater depths can be achieved by placing successive layers with each layer being sufficiently compacted prior to laying another pass. When applying another layer to a layer which has set, it should first be primed with Larsen Streetscape PS ECO bonding mortar. Freshly laid areas should be protected from foot traffic for a minimum of 12 hours, vehicular traffic for a minimum of 24 hours, both dependent on temperature and site conditions.
RESTRICTIONS
In adverse weather conditions, paving should not be laid or jointed if the temperature is below 3°C on a falling thermometer or 1°C on a rising thermometer. The surface of the substrate should not be frozen before bedding and fresh bedding protected from inclement weather or freezing until sufficient strength is achieved for damage not to occur. All work should be carried out following guidance in BS 7533.
