Laying on wet sand with cement
The slabs are laid on a base of sand mixed with cement. This technique guarantees the slabs long term stability and their vehicle accessibility. It also allows to lay the slabs straight on the floor screed avoiding the high costs of the levelling screed arrangements. Expansion joints are necessary and joints must be filled with cementitious grout.
DRIVE-OVER
Drive-over for slabs with
2, 3 and 6 cm (0.8", 1.2" and 2.4") thickness
Installation
Example of laying on ground
- A) Slab
- B) Adhesive for sintered stone
- C) Sand with cement levelling screed
- D) Structural screed
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.
ADVANTAGES
- Maximum stability over time
- Ideal for driveways
- Ideal for intense pedestrian circulation
DESTINATIONS
- Driveways
- Pool sides
- Terraces
- Car parking
- Residential areas
- Commercial areas
- Outdoor stairs
- Garage ramps
Instructions:
1) Prepare the mixture of sand and cement in the concrete mixer, two parts of cement by weight per ten parts of sand. Cement and water in equal parts.
2) Lay the mixture over the existing screed and level it guaranteeing a slope of at least 2%. The layer thickness must be between 5 to 7 cm (2”- 3”) to guarantee drive-over.
3) Spread the adhesive for sintered stone on the back of the slabs.
4) Lay the slabs with the aid of the Crocette cross spacers.
5) Use the rubber mallet to level the slabs.
6) Once the laying is complete, proceed with the grouting.

Example of laying on ground of
STONE GRES Pavè
- A) Slab
- B) Mixed cement sand
- 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") thickness and wait for its maturation.
2) Prepare the sand mixture in the cement mixer, two parts of cement in weight for every ten parts of sand, cement and water in equal parts.
3) Lay a layer of equal to or more than 3 cm (1.2") of the sand mixture over the matured screed.
4) Lay the cobblestones spacing them with a joint between 5 and 20 mm (0.02"-0.07"), making them adhere well to the cement mixed sand layer.
5) Once the laying is completed, the joints can be filled with polymeric sand or cement grout.
