FLAGSTONES AND PAVERS
MAIN FEATURES
■ Outdoor application
■ Ground-level application
■ Exposure to rainwater
■ High degree of saturation
■ Possible exposure to de-icing salts
Flagstones or pavers installed on the ground, outdoors, are subject to a high level of saturation. For this type of application, Canadian standard CSA A 179-14 recommends using a Type S Mortar.
Selecting the mortar that will fix the flagstones or pavers to the ground and the mortar that will be installed around the perimeter of units, is particularly important since the flagstones and pavers may be exposed to de-icing salts.
Recommendations
■ Mortar for fixing flagstones or pavers on a concrete slab: King® MasonBond 400
■ Mortars for joints:
A ■ With moderate exposure to de-icing salts: King® MasonBond 400 or King® Block
B ■ With high exposure to de-icing salts: Reconstec MF
