Atenstone® is Adbri Masonry’s premium wet cast paving range and comprises Limestone, Fossilstone and the impressive new Limestone Grande. The appearance of natural Limestone improves with time as traffic, climate change and markings gently age and soften the surface. Limestone is inspired by the timeless natural appeal of the limestone pavements of Ancient Europe. The palette of soft neutral colours offered in this range ensures a variety of choice and pleasing aesthetics when introduced into any environment. By combining quality, soft neutral colours and the strength of concrete, Adbri Masonry has created a unique and highly desirable paving range. Limestone Grande is a new larger format paver measuring 600 x 400 x 40mm and is available in 3 colours - Pearl Blend, Honeycomb Blend and Graphite Blend. Limestone and Limestone Grande have matching bullnoses for use as pool edges, on steps or to cap walls. The Limestone Grande bullnose has the surface texture continued round the bullnose. These pavers are suitable for pedestrian traffic, however they can be laid onto a concrete sub-base for driveways. For more information please refer to our laying instructions on pages 18 and 19 or refer to the CMAA (Concrete Masonry Association of Australia) Design and Construction Guide MA44.

The Adbri Masonry paving range encompasses pavers beginning at brick size and moving all the way through to large format pavers. Many of these pavers are sized in modules of 100mm meaning that pavers will run in sequence of 100, 200, 300 and 400mm measurements. Modular sizing facilitates the practical combination of different sized pavers into the one pavement, giving greater flexibility to design, that incorporates contrasting styles or colours as inlays, borders or highlights.

Most Adbri Masonry pavers come with choice of thickness to differentiate between pedestrian and domestic driveway applications. Many paving projects incorporate a combination of driveway and pedestrian areas and the paving range allow the astute buyer to purchase the right paver for the right job. Using thinner pavers for pedestrian areas saves on excavation, and the cost of pavers, thinner pavers are also lighter and easier to handle, making them practical for the DIY Handyman.

Residential Paving Installation Adbri Masonry Pavers can be laid by two methods; Rigid Installation (with a concrete basecourse) or Flexible Installation (a granular basecourse). Properly constructed rigid pavements can be more stable where soil conditions are poor, (e.g. reactive or poorly drained clay). Drainage is most important for a successful paving project. Care must be taken to grade the basecourse and the finished pavement level at a minimum gradient of 2% (or 100mm per 5.0 lineal metres). Refer to the CMAA's MA44 document for further drainage details. The laying of pavers on a sand bed on a concrete slab is not addressed in this brochure. It can be done, but efflorescence staining can occur on pavers laid in this manner if there is inadequate drainage of the concrete slab. For further information please refer to: Adbri Masonry Paving Installation Guide at www.adbrimasonry.com.au and Concrete Masonry Association of Australia (CMAA) Guidelines at www.cmaa.com.au:- T45 Concrete Segmental Pavements Design Guide for Residential Accessways and Roads, MA44 Concrete Flag Pavements - Design and Construction Guide. Note: The following is a guide only and in no way replaces the services of a professional design consultant.
Flexible Installation
Rigid Installation (recommended for all Atenstone® installations)
Step 1. Excavation: Excavate your area to allow for a granular* basecourse, (75mm for pedestrian traffic and 100mm for driveways after compaction), plus 20-25mm of washed coarse bedding sand plus the thickness of the paver. Note: Pavers for driveways should be at least 50mm thick.
Step 1. Excavation: Excavate your area to allow for a 75mm thick, (or 100mm for a driveway) concrete slab, (rough screeded 20MPa grade with SL62 reinforcement at mid-depth and contraction joints at 3 metre centres), plus 15-25mm of mortar plus the thickness of the paver.
*Class A road-base or 20mm graded crushed rock are suitable materials.
Note: Pavers for driveways should be at least 50mm thick. The concrete should be wet cured for at least 7 days before laying.
Step 2. Compact the Basecourse: Place the granular basecourse to the desired depth and compact using a vibrating plate machine. Ensure your basecourse is firm and of uniform thickness. If the area needs to be built up then do so in compacted 75mm layers. Up to 5% of cement can be blended in to the granular basecourse for more stability if required. Step 3. Bedding Course: Spread clean coarse bedding sand over the compacted basecourse to a depth of 25 - 35mm and screed to a flat even surface. Step 4. Lay the Pavers: Begin laying pavers from one corner, utilising a string line to keep the lines straight. Don't walk on the sand, walk on the pavers already laid.
Step 2. Apply the Bond Coat: Prepare a cement slurry by mixing 6 parts fine washed sand to 1 part cement. Apply a thin coat (about 1mm) to the working area of the slab with a broom and to the underside of each Adbri Masonry paver just prior to laying. Step 3. Lay the Pavers: Using a string line to keep the lines straight, lay the pavers on a wet mortar bed of 15-25mm thickness. Mortar should be mixed at a ratio of 3 parts washed concrete sand to 1 part cement. Do not make the mortar too wet. The mortar should be stiff enough to make a fist sized ball which holds its shape. Pavers should be laid to form a smooth finished surface by using a level and lightly tapping with a rubber mallet.
Step 5. Edging: Edge restraints are essential to prevent lateral movement of the paved area and must be installed prior to the application of the jointing sand. Refer to the Edging section for details.
Note: Do not add extra water to retemper any stiffening mortar. Make a fresh batch instead; enough to last 30 - 45 minutes laying.
Step 6. Joints: Adbri Masonry pavers in this application should be laid with a 3 - 4mm gap. Fill this joint with a fine washed sand or specialised jointing sand as the paving proceeds. This will minimise movement in the pavers when compacting.
Step 4. Joints: Adbri Masonry pavers can be laid butt-jointed, however a fine washed sand or specialised pavement sand is recommended to fill any small gaps. For wider joints, (e.g. >4mm) a non-shrink grout may be used, but be careful not to smear any on the pavers. If any does get on wash off quickly with water and a clean sponge.
Step 7. Final Compaction: To compact the pavers place a flat heavy board across the pavers and hit with a rubber mallet. For pavers of 50mm depth or greater, a vibrating plate machine should be used for the best results (more jointing sand should be added as pavers are compacted). It is recommended a piece of carpet be placed under the plate to protect the pavers from chipping.
Notes: Do not bridge pavers over the contraction joints in the concrete. Pavers must be cut and the joints filled with a flexible compound as per Engineers specifications. If any mortar is spilled on the pavers during installation remove immediately using a clean sponge and water. Do not traffic finished pavement for 72 hours.

Calculate Pavers Needed
Paver Cutting
The quantity of pavers needed will depend on the area to be paved, and the paver chosen.
You will generally find that some cutting of pavers will be required to fit into specific areas. An angle grinder with a masonry blade is suitable for good results. On jobs where a high number of cuts are required or the paving units are large, it is easier to hire a brick saw with a diamond blade - remember ear muffs, eye protection and a mask.
Work out the area to be paved in square metres. Length(m) x width(m) = area(m2)
Edging
For rectangular areas:
It is important to have a good edge restraint to stop the pavers from spreading and to ensure that the bedding sand is not washed away. Here are two general techniques.
3m
By embedding a paver on edge in concrete
AREA
By embedding the outside paver 5m
in concrete to approximately half the height of the paver and back
eg. 3m x 5m = 15m2
filling with suitable garden material
For triangular areas: 1/2 x base(m) x height(m) = area(m2)
4m
eg. 1/2 x 3m x 4m = 6m2
AREA

Swimming Pools • Adbri Masonry pavers meet Australian slip resistant standards, making them ideal for swimming pool surrounds. • Adbri Masonry pavers while being strong and durable have a soft feel, making them comfortable under bare feet or for sitting along pool edges. • Adbri Masonry manufacture some pavers specifically for salt resistant applications, necessary for around salt chlorinated swimming pools. This range varies between States so please consult your local Adbri Masonry distributor or Adbri Masonry product guide for specific localised advice. • For added protection Adbri Masonry recommend sealing pavers likely to be subjected to salt attack.
Maintenance
2m
For odd shaped areas: break into sections. Area 1: 4m x 3m = 12m2 Area 2: 6m x 3m = 18m2 Area 3: 1/2m x 6m x 2m = 6m2 Total area to be paved = 36m2
Pavers will require some ongoing maintenance to keep looking in a pristine condition. Dirt and dust should regularly be removed whilst any weed growth should be sprayed and controlled. Ants should not be allowed to nest in base materials.
Cleaning All pavers will require cleaning from time to time. Oil, rust, efflorescence and other stains can detract from the appearance of the paver. Proprietary cleaning products for concrete pavers (and retaining walls) are readily available. Please contact your local distributor or Adbri Masonry for further information. Do not use Hydrochloric Acid.

Notes: • For those who calculate using feet and inches calculate the total area into square feet by using the same method as above and then multiply by .0929 to convert to square metres • When calculating pavers needed add an additional 3-5%. Allowing for complexity of the design, cuts and breaks.
If a more protective surface is required then Adbri Masonry suggest you seal your paving. There are a number of sealers specifically for concrete paving so please contact your local distributor or Adbri Masonry for further information. Note: All coloured product should be ordered at the one time to reduce the risk of batch variation. No claims will be accepted once product has been installed.

Curved Radius Minimum radius for inside curve is 435mm and 615mm for outside curves. As Miniwall® units can produce a tight radius, cumbersome corner units are not required - simply round the corner off. Half units, if required, can be split or cut from full units using a masonry cutter. Hint: 21 units form a circle.
Maximum Heights The Miniwall® system is suitable for walls up to 500mm high (4 courses) where there is no surcharge loading. A surcharge loading applies when: • A wall is supporting a driveway or other load • There is greater than 3:1 slope above the wall • Another retaining wall above the wall which is less in distance behind the wall than double the height of the lower wall.
Solid Wall Larger faces on alternative sides
Semi Solid Wall Larger faces on visible side
Laying Instructions Step 1 Dig a shallow trench, level and place 100mm of crushed rock in the bottom and compact. Step 2 Spread and level 25mm of coarse sand as a bedding layer. Place the first layer of Miniwall® units onto the sand and tap into place with a mallet. A stringline is essential for building straight walls. Ensure that each unit is level from front to back and side to side. Step 3 Stack Miniwall® units along the length of the wall to a maximum of 3 rows, ensuring that each row is offset to the one below. If the wall is acting as a small retainer, install 90mm agricultural pipe at the rear of the wall for drainage and fill 200mm behind the wall with drainage material. Step 4 Before applying Minicap™ units, place some construction adhesive either side of the interlocking modules on the Miniwall®units. Position the Minicap™ units and press firmly into position. Freestanding Walls As Miniwall® units are stacked vertically and both the front and back of each unit is finished with an attractive split stone texture, both sides of the wall may be left exposed. In this situation it is recommended that construction adhesive be used between the upper courses of the wall.
Outside Curve
S-Curves To build a solid wall which changes from an inside curve to an outside curve, a half unit will be required every second course. Use a Minicap™ unit and perform the cut with either ºa masonry saw or splitter.
Inside Curve
Retaining Wall - Wallstone® Used to create a garden edge Garden Edge is a handy and versatile new garden edge and cladding product from Adbri Masonry. Garden Edge can be used to create a garden bed by installing it vertical onto a wet concrete base. Garden Edge can also be used to conceal and improve unsightly old walls or to clad new walls up to 1.5 metres high. Simply apply the Garden Edge to the prepared surface (clean, dry and free of paint, dust and oil) with a waterproof construction adhesive in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

Wallstone® Grande blocks are available in a split face as shown and is a retaining wall system that comes complete with matching cornerstones and capping units. Wallstone® Grande blocks are not only larger than the original Wallstone® but are made using Premium Sands for a superior finish. As a result the Grande range is slightly different in colour to the original Wallstone® range, therefore, all components including corners, caps and wall units need to be ordered as ‘Grande’ products.

Typical Cross Section Wallstone® and Wallstone® Grande Maximum Heights (Before Capping): • Wallstone® and Wallstone® Grande: Setback Wall - 750mm + cap. • Wallstone® and Wallstone® Grande: Vertical Wall - 600mm + cap. These heights apply to all site soil types excluding clay or sandy/silty clays and are applicable for residential applications only. These conditions must be observed: • Wall designs are for level backfill or maximum 1 in 8 slope at rear of wall • The distance between terraced walls must exceed 2x the height of the lower wall • No static loads are to be applied to the wall • Water run-off must be diverted away from the wall. If any of these conditions cannot be met, or your wall exceeds the maximum design height, please ask Adbri Masonry for help or consult a suitably qualified engineer.

Laying Instructions Step 1 Dig a shallow trench, level and place 100mm of crushed rock in the bottom. Level and compact. Allow for 75mm embedment of the bottom course and 300mm behind the wall for drainage. Step 2 Spread and level approximately 25mm of coarse sand as a bedding layer then place the first course of Wallstone® units. Use a stringline for creating a straight line, and level from side to side and front to back. Install a 90mm Agricultural Pipe (on grade) at the rear of the wall for drainage. Step 3 Fill behind each course with granular rock for drainage and carefully compact. Check each course is level before proceeding and stack each additional row offsetting from the block below. Step 4 On the last course of stacking units, place a line of adhesive front and back and place the capping unit. Apply pressure to secure and use a stringline and level for the best result. Notes: • Slope the soil above and below the wall to ensure that water will flow away from and not accumulate near the wall • It is advisable to place a dob of adhesive between corner units • If a vertical wall is required then follow the same instructions but remove the narrow section at the top of each unit using a bolster chisel.

Installation Guide - Allan Block™ AB Installation Summary Step 1 Excavate base trench at wall location and install Base Material (a well graded compactable aggregate 5mm to 20mm diameter). Base Trench is typically 600mm wide by 100mm deep plus 25mm in depth for every 300mm of wall height. Begin excavation at the lowest point and dig a level trench into the slope until it is deep enough to accommodate 100mm Base Material and the recommended depth of embedment. Step 2 Install base material and rake smooth and compact, check the entire length for level and adjust as needed. Step 3 Install basecourse starting at the lowest point. Place the first row of Allan Block™ unit on the base material with the raised front lip facing up and forward to the front of the wall. Check and adjust the level and alignment of all blocks with a stringline across the back of the blocks or the back of the lips. Make minor adjustments by tapping the block with a rubber mallet. Irregularities in the base course become larger as the wall stacks up! Step 4 Install an Agricultural Pipe at the bottom rear of the drainage field with appropriate fall to designated drainage point. Fill Allan Block™ hollow cores and the minimum 300mm behind the wall with drainage material (not crushed rock or material containing ‘fines’). Using onsite soils, backfill behind drainage zone and in front of the base course. Step 5 Brush off excess drainage material from top of blocks. Stack the next row of blocks with the vertical joints offset from the joints below. Blocks may be adjusted to form straight lines and smooth curves. Check it is level and adjust as needed before installing drainage and backfill materials as in Step 4. Step 6 Using a vibrating plate compactor, compact over the top of the blocks running parallel to the wall. This will lock the blocks into position. Avoid hitting the front lip, as this will knock the blocks out of alignment. Next, compact the drainage and then the backfill area, always running parallel to the wall. Step 7 Install additional courses by repeating steps 5 and 6. Each lift of drainage and backfill materials should be installed in the same manner, compact in lifts of 200mm (every course). This summary is intended as a general guide only. For more detailed information including creating curves, corners, steps, terraced walls or water management, please refer to the seperate Allan Block™ Installation Guide (available from Adbri Masonry or your local distributor) before constructing your wall. For walls that exceed the maximum heights in the table opposite please consult an engineer and check with your local Council for requirements.
