Laying Advice

• Prepare the sub-base with 150 mm of compacted MOT Type-1 hardcore.
• Mix and blend packs to ensure even color distribution.
• Apply priming slurry to improve bonding and prevent moisture transfer.

• Allow 24 hours of curing time before grouting.
• Use an appropriate jointing compound for pointing.
• Consider applying a sealant for additional protection.
