How It Works

 

  1. The moulds are prepared by coating them with a thin layer of release agent to stop the concrete adhering to the mould. 
  2. Concrete is mixed in accordance with the instruction on a cement pocket.  The colour can be altered by adding oxides to the dry cement component.
  3. After mixing your concrete correctly, fill the mould and agitate on a hard level surface to remove any air bubbles.  The correct consistency should be that with a little agitation, the concrete will level itself in the mould, ie wet mix.
  4. Cover with plastic to retain moisture until concrete is set and a fair amount of strength has been attained. 
  5. Once set, de-mould stone and cure the concrete by keeping stone moist and out of direct sun for 7 days.  The stones can now be laid (unless it is for a driveway in which case, 28 days are needed for the concrete to reach full strength before one can drive on it). 
  6. Once the stone is de-moulded, the mould can be cleaned and prepared with release oil for the next casting.

Once your pavers are finished you can lay them. We include this video clip to give you a rough guideline on how to do lay the paving.
