Kerb Stone Flooring

Concrete kerb is an essential addition to a road, cycle way or footpath. It has several uses, with its main purpose being to neatly create separation and visual delineation of walkways and other trafficked areas. The kerb blocks available are suitable for a variety of applications in both commercial and civic spaces.Kerbs offer a series of functions. As well as creating a boundary between the carriageway and the pavement or the footpath and the areas beside it, they can help direct surface water into drainage systems; indicate where a person’s driveway is, which is useful when planning a housing project; and promote traffic calming, therefore creating a safer space for pedestrians, drivers and cyclists. Therefore, whether physically setting out the edge of the road or creating clear markers that direct the flow of traffic, a concrete kerb is a highly useful part of a road or pathway.

INSTALLATION METHOD:

1. All paved surfaces require drainage. Where kerbs or edging are laid, this will restrict natural water flow off the paved area, so provision needs to be made to dispose of this water.
2. To allow new kerb or edging to be installed correctly a certain amount of excavation will normally be required. The depth of this excavation will depend on several factors; the height of the kerb or edging selected, which way up it will be laid, and what up stand is intended.
3. Kerb and edging units are laid onto a concrete foundation. The foundation should typically be around 100mm thick, of well compacted semi-dry concrete, typically a 1:2:4 (cement:sand:aggregate) mix will be sufficient, depending upon the expected loadings and ground conditions. A minimum of a third of the unit must be fully bedded into the mortar mix.
4. Set lay-out for curb stone according to plan with reference to lines and grades.
5. The base course shall be compacted to attain sufficient compaction prior to its final placement.
6. Set curbs in the full bed of mortar so that it will be stable and can resist lateral force exerted by the adjoining elevated interlocking blocks.
7. The joint of the curb stone shall be spaced for at least 10 mm and the same will be filled with mortar so that there will be no lack of bond between adjoining curb.
8. Where close joints have been used, then the joints should be left as dry joints. Wide joints should be fully filled with compacted mortar. The use of pigmented mortar can enhance the appearance of the finished kerbs.
