Laying on sand or gravel
The slabs can be laid dry by simply placing them in the desired position, without the need adhesives. This means the slabs are easily levelled out on top of the sand/gravel and are ready for use immediately afterwards. This allows users to change the paving at any time or reuse the same material several times, even in different locations.

ADVANTAGES
- Easy to install
- Draining surface
- Easy maintenance
- Inspectable
DESTINATIONS
- Driveways
- Garden, courtyard or patio
- Residential areas
- Commercial areas
- Terraces
Instructions:
1) Over the non-woven fabric or the separation layer, lay the sand/gravel (10/30 cm, 4”-12”). To give more stability can be added a binder.
2) Level the soil with the aid of a vibro compactor, to guarantee stability over the time. A slope of at least 2% is needed to ensure the right water drainage.
3) Lay the slabs with the aid of the Crocette cross spacers.
4) Use the rubber mallet to level the slabs.
5) Once the laying is complete, proceed with the grouting.

Laying
Example of laying on ground of STONE GRES Pavè
- A) Pavè
- B) Sand or gravel
- C) Screed with electrowelded mesh
- D) Roadbed
- E) Soil
The proposed diagrams and indications are purely indicative of the type of application: please refer to the specific regulations in force in your country in order to lay the floor to the highest technical standards.
Instructions:
1) On the roadbed, make a screed with an electro-welded net of about 5 cm (2") thick and wait for its maturation.
2) Lay a layer of equal to or more than 2 cm (0.8") of sand or pea gravel mix.
3) Compact the sand or pea gravel with a special vibrating compacter plate.
4) Lay the cobblestones spacing them with a joint between 5 and 20 mm (0.02" and 0.07"), making them adhere well to the cement mixed sand layer.
5) After laying, you can proceed with filling the joints with sand polymer or cement grout.
