Streetscape® High Strength Bedding Concrete
A superior quality polymer-modified High Strength Bedding Concrete, manufactured under an ISO 9001 quality-controlled environment, using dried sands, lime, cement and additives specially designed to meet or exceed the requirements of BS 7533 part 7:2010.
The product is used for bedding natural stone flags, cobbles and setts, clay, and concrete pavers in a rigid construction. The product should not be used in temperatures below 3° C in a falling temerature or below 2° C on a rising thermometer. The surface of the substrate should not be frozen or >25° C before bedding commences. Movement joints will be required in rigid/bonded constructions and should be designed and marked by the design team.
HSBC can be laid in depths of 10-75mm in one layer. Greater depths can be achieved using the layer on layer method. Place the product on the pre-soaked and freshly primed base and spread to the desired depth. Ensure to use the material while it is still moist and fresh. Prime the back of the paving unit and immediately place it in position, using a rubber mallet to bed and level. When applying another layer to a layer which has cured, it should first be primed with Priming Slurry. Place the product on the pre-soaked and freshly primed base and spread to the desired depth. The substrate must not be frozen. The product will take longer to gain strength during colder conditions.
The product is mixed to the desired consistency either from a site silo and continuous mixer or in a suitable site mixer if 25kg bags are used. Add 2 – 2.5L of clean water per 25kg bag to achieve the desired semi-dry workability. Do not rewet previously mixed batches. Material mixed from bulk silos should be done so in accordance with the site training given by our technical team.
