Constructing an area with the paver blocks in Kolkata or any part of the country, whether it be a warehouse, side-walks, patio, driveways or pool surrounds is not necessarily outside the scope of the acreage enthusiast. By following a simple step by step guide, it is possible to create something special which will be an added value to the application. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide on paver laying:

1. Preparation: Proper Preparation is a must for the systematic functioning of the assigned task. The following work should be carried out before installing the pavers:

• The areas to be paved must be sketched out
• Clear views about dimensions and laying pattern must be made
• Quantities of cement and sand required for bedding must be considered
• Based on the paver size the sub-layers must be made ready where the bedding must be spread, if necessary the soft soil must be dug out and replaced with crushed stone.
• The thickness of the sand must be approximately 40mm between the level of the paved area.

The final Paving level below the finished paving level should be as follows:

• For 60mm Paving: 100mm approximate
• For 80mm Paving: 120 mm approximate
• For 100mm Paving: 140mm approximate

2. Edges: Edges are the next important factors that enhance the life and the look of any paver block area. In order to prevent the border, erosion edges must be considered to enhance the durability of the Pavers. One can use precast kerb stones to ensure the stability of the edges in pedestrians, driveways or roads.

3. Laying Course: Laying Course at the basement consists of well-graded sand, composed of fine and coarse particles. Sand should also be spread in a uniform manner in moisture content and smoothness.

4. Screeding: Levelling the area where the paver blocks shall be placed is called screeding. Screeding can be done either from kerb stone or by using screed rails to level the sand.
The level of the paver can be checked by placing it. Screeding guide range 1” to 1” in diameter. Once the level of the pavers are checked guides can be removed and screeding can be continued. Usually, laying must be started at the longest straight side area to keep the lines straight.

5. Placing the paving Units: The pattern must be selected according to suitability for e.g. Herringbone pattern is recommended for most vehicular movement.
An ideal gap of 3mm ought to be left to ensure an even interlocking after vibration. Usually, laying must be started at the longest straight side area to keep the lines straight because this will minimize the amount of cutting required.

6. Vibrator Compaction: The block must be swept clean and compacted with a plate vibrator with a frequency of 75-100 Hz. This ensures the pavers settle into the bedding sand and created a flat and smooth surface.

7. Joining Sand: Brushing fine sand into the joints of the pavers further locks the pavers together.

And with all the steps above, the paver blocks are left to dry and come together. While there are many paver blocks manufacturer in Kolkata, if you wish to find the ideal one, you can trust Harden Bricks for their ethics and high-quality paver blocks.
