Types of installation

All patio slabs can be laid in three variants - depending on requirements: loose in a bed of chippings, bonded on drainage mortar or innovatively on stilt bearings (60 x 60 cm format only).

Dry laying

in gravel

  • Tiles can be walked on straight after laying.
  • Laid loosely, tiles are easily replaced.

  4. Frost protection/Suppor ting layer, approx. 15-30 cm depending on load resistance
