Installation Instructions -
AZEK Pavers are designed to cover an existing hardscape free from major
undulations. AZEK Pavers will contour to the surface in which they are
resting, and will reflect any imperfections. The following techniques can be
used to reduce undulations:
• A self-leveling concrete or similar product can be used to fill in any
low areas.
• High areas can be knocked down and evened out to create a smooth
surface.
• It does not need to look good, as the resurfacing pavers will cover it.
• Door and other thresholds must be able to support 1-3/4" added height.
• Refer to page 7 for laying AZEK Pavers.
IMPORTANT:
Water will flow out underneath the AZEK Paver system. The surface being covered should
be sloped appropriately (typically 1 inch every 6 feet).
To secure the perimeter, there are a couple common methods when the
perimeter is up against a penetrable surface (e.g. dirt, grass):
Use AZEK Resurfacing Bullnose or Transition Pavers:
• Refer to pages 21 or 22 for installation guidelines.
Use a Paver Restraint:
• A paver restraint (e.g. plastic, aluminum) can be used around any
perimeter not bordered by an existing structure.
• Pound 10 inch metal spikes through the edging and into the ground
every 6 to 12 inches.
• Back fill up to the edging with dirt, sod, or other landscaping material.
Use a Recommended Adhesive:
An alternative way to edge the pavers is to adhere the pavers to the grid
12" around the perimeter. Do not adhere the grid to the substructure.
• Using a recommended adhesive (see page 2) place a 1/4" bead across
the top ribs of the grid.
• Place the paver in the grid and press down firmly.
• Let pavers sit undisturbed for duration of adhesive cure time.
• A 28 oz. tube of adhesive will cover approximately 25 square feet.
• Back fill up to the edge of the pavers with dirt, sod, or other landscaping
material.
AZEK Pavers should not be filled with joint sand when used in a
resurfacing application. For specific application questions, please call
