How is Deco Granite laid?
Once an appropriate base is established, apply stabilised granite to the required depth (minimum 100mm) then compact with a vibrating ‘whacker’ plate. If the granite is too dry, puffs of dust will blow out from beneath the whacker. If this happens, lightly water before compacting again. Compact the granite to required levels adding more to lower areas. Established a level surface with a recommended cross fall of at least 5%. (Don’t allow water to pond on surface). Follow compaction process while lightly watering with spray nozzle until water slowly soaks into the granite. Surface broom off any excess water and cement fines. Use water spray to clean off granite surface. Leave surface for 24-48 hours to dry. NB: Take care not to over-water the granite before laying otherwise cement will rise to the surface causing a hard cement surface layer.
