UltraScape Eco-bed installation guide for domestic patios & paved garden areas

1. Ensure that the sub-base is sound & solid and not prone to settlement.
2. A base layer of compacted Type 1 stone should be installed in two layers. Each layer should be compacted to 50mm. This should result in a minimum 100mm compacted depth. Ensure that the Type 1 stone is fully compacted, failure to do so will result in an unstable base.
3. UltraScape Eco-bed should be applied to a minimum depth of 30mm on top of the compacted Type 1 stone. Only mix enough bedding mortar to ensure it remains wet when fixing the primed paver.
4. Porcelain Pavers should be bedded into the Eco-bed after applying a liberal coat of UltraScape Pro-Prime Slurry Primer to the back of the paver.
5. Press pavers well into the Eco-bedding mortar to ensure full contact. Ensure
   pavers are bedded while both bedding mortar and slurry primer are still wet to ensure full contact.
6. Please Note: A stronger base construction is required for driveways that accept standing vehicles please contact us on 0330 122 1025 for guidance.
