RIVIERA FREEDOMStain Resistant Pavers
You’ve heard of Murphy’s Law, if something can go wrong it
probably will, so why risk it, with Riviera Freedom stain resistant
clay pavers you can spend more time enjoying life. Riviera
Freedom pavers are virtually maintenance-free – the Paveshield
surface enhancement protects your pavers from the build up
of mould and mildew and from many staining products such as
food, grease, oil and drink spills. This makes cleaning easier
and allows more time for relaxing and soaking up your outdoor
entertainment area’s new atmosphere.
Riviera Freedom clay pavers are easy to clean and maintain,
due to their ability to resist common stains. No paver can be
guaranteed to be 100% stain free for life, but Riviera Freedom
will provide a very high level of stain resistance to ensure that the
longer you own these pavers, the more you will appreciate them.
Paveshield is a revolutionary surface
treatment that resists staining.
Paveshield is bonded to the paver during
manufacture, eliminating the need for on-site
chemical treatments and any associated risks
to family members, pets and the environment.
Paveshield also inhibits the growth of mould and mildew.

Making a statement does not need to be restricted to small
courtyards, the wonderful design qualities that make a great
landscaping project work, can be expanded to large mundane
areas like driveways. Generally these areas are the domain of
concrete, but if concrete does not meet your aesthetic needs
then Riviera can provide the creative and aesthetic solution.

HANDY PAVING TIPS✓ Ensure that the area to be paved is well drained.
✓ Always use washed river sand only as the bedding material. Sand from a marine environment contains salt that could cause white staining on the surface of the pavers.
✓ Never use crusher dust or cement in the bedding layer as permanent staining & uneven load distribution can occur.
✓ Use 45°or 90°degree herringbone pattern on areas that will carry vehicular traffic (for standard format paving). These patterns provide the strongest interlock.
✓ Don’t butt the pavers tightly together. Clay products need room for expansion and if the pavers are too close then chipping or pattern distortion may occur.
✓ To help avoid chipping and allow room for expansion, allow a 2-3mm gap for small format pavers and a 4-6mm gap for larger format pavers
✓ Continue to fi ll the gaps between pavers with jointing sand in the weeks after laying, until the surface settles.
✓ Large format pavers should be laid on a wet bed (mortar bed or thin bed adhesive) on a concrete base if being used for driveways.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Preparation 1. Select the desired fi nished surface level of your pavers.
See diagram 1 below.
2. Excavate the total area to the required depth – 140mm for pedestrian areas (compacted road base recommended) 190mm for driveways (concrete base recommended for heavy loads).
3. Be sure to allow for a slight fall for drainage. A fall of 25mm per metre should be satisfactory.
4. Place and screed gravel roadbase over area to approximately 100mm below the required fi nished height. (This allows 10mm for compaction).
5. Using the Vibrator Compactor, compact the roadbase.
Bedding 1. Place washed river sand in piles over the area to be paved.
2. Using a rake or shovel, spread the sand evenly over the area.
3. Use a paver to determine your fi nished surface height, to ensure the correct depth of the bedding sand is used. This becomes the measure for your screeding rails. Repeat so that you have 2 paver pads at least 2 metres apart. See Figure A.
4. Using your screed, level an area between the two pavers so that you can lay your screeding rails on the level surface.
5. Place the screeding board onto the screeding rails and pull towards you, ensuring that you maintain an even level. See Figure B.
6. Once the area has been screeded, carefully remove the screeding rails and smooth out any damaged surface areas with a hand fl oat.
Laying Pavers 1. Select your laying pattern and commence laying,
making sure that you work outwards from a corner. Where necessary use string lines to make a corner.
2. To ensure that your paving lines stay straight, both vertical and horizontal string lines should be used. See Figure C.
3. As you lay your pavers, make sure that a gap is placed between them (2-3mm for small format pavers and 4-6mm for large format pavers). This will prevent any paver damage caused by pavers rubbing against each other.
Edge Restraints 1. Edge restraints are important as they will prevent pavers
from moving out of place. See diagram 2 below.
2. The edge restraint must fi rst be in place prior to compaction taking place.
Compacting the Pavers 1. Prior to compacting, sweep dry paver joint sand over the
paved area using a soft bristled brush. Make sure that you completely fi ll the jointing gaps. See Figure D.
2. Leave a small excess of sand on the surface of the pavers for the compactor to vibrate further into the joints.
3. Before compacting, make sure that a piece of carpet or rubber matt is under the compactor to prevent the pavers being scratched or damaged. See Figure E.
4. 3-4 passes with the compactor should be satisfactory. After the initial pass, respread the jointing sand over the pavers to ensure full joint penetration. Following the fi nal pass, top up any joints with sand where necessary.
5. Hose off excess sand for a clean fi nish. See Figure F.

Riviera™ Freedom 300 x 300mm large format clay pavers in Alassio, Modena and Pescara.
Port Central 1 is the fi rst building in a unique commercial precinct that promises to treble the working population in the Port of Brisbane.
Austral Bricks Riviera Freedom large format clay
pavers were chosen for the forecourt fronting the
new building, linking eventually to neighbouring
buildings. “The intent was to create a high quality
civic space as the beginning of a town centre that
will expand as the port grows,” explains landscape
architect John Mongard.
Uniquely, the forecourt paving fl ows into the atrium
of Port Central 1, complemented by palms and
water features. “We chose Riviera Freedom pavers
primarily because of their large format,” says John
Mongard. “They create more of a town centre feel
and have been laid in wide bands of three different
colours to create formal but
subtle colouring.”
The pavers are laid in a half bond pattern in a mortar
bed over a concrete slab and fi nished with off-white
mortar joints.
Riviera Freedom pavers are distinguished not just
by their size – 300 x 300 mm – but also by the
application of Paveshield®, a revolutionary surface
treatment that allows the easy removal of a range
of stains.
This stain resistance quality was a high priority for
the site operator. “Lifecycle costs are important to
us,” says Port of Brisbane’s Project Manager Niclas
Hjertquist. “If you drop leaves on these pavers and
it rains they don’t stain. Those things are important
to us. We don’t want cleaning contractors scrubbing
pavers constantly.”
Niclas Hjertquist is pleased with the outcome of this
landmark project, especially the landscaping. “The
aesthetics are exactly what we wanted and I think
the product life span is good and we haven’t had
any issues with anything at this point, no cracking,
no dramas.”
