AsphaltEdge
Restraint Goal
To securely retain the paver and setting course while
providing a long-term, visually aesthetic and easily maintainable
edge.
*Application
Overview
-
Place the sidewall of the AsphaltEdge _” in from the edge
of concrete base.
- Anchor
into the outer 1” of the AsphaltEdge base or a minimum of
2” from the edge of the concrete using a Hilti or Ramset
fastening system (see anchoring below).
- The
setting course is spread over the concrete base and serves as
a leveling course filling in the unlevel portions of the concrete
base.
- Pavers
are laid on setting course with a thin layer of fines then spread
over the paver surface.
- The
entire installation is then vibra-pacted into place.
- Semi-compact
backfill material adjacent to the completed paver installation
providing additional support.
*Intended
as an overview only, please refer to specifier/ manufacturer technical
specifications.
Application
Note:
We recommend AsphaltEdge for this paver application. AsphaltEdge’s
wider base (2-1/4” or 3” depending on AE product) offers
a wider surface to mechanically anchor the restraint down to the
concrete. The mechanical vibration process will set the pavers into
the setting course by _” approximately and can be figured
into the side-wall coverage.
The narrower SE base can result in the concrete breaking out during
mechanical anchoring.
Anchoring
- Place
the sidewall of the AsphaltEdge _” in from the edge of concrete
base.
- Anchor
into the outer 1” of the AsphaltEdge base or a minimum of
2” from the edge of the concrete.
-
Anchor at ends of each section in addition to guidelines indicated
below.
-
Anchor using a Hilti DX A41 Powder Actuated Fastening System is
desirable where sufficient hold can be obtained. _” to 1
nail (12” on center) with appropriate charge is recommended.

AsphaltEdge Product:
Typically AsphaltEdge 2 _”
As a rule, it is desirable to cover a minimum of 1/3 to _ the paver
height.
(Typical paver - 6cm = 2-3/8” / less common 10cm paver = 4”)
Formula – 1/3 to _ paver height + setting course depth (minus
_” for compaction) = minimum restraint height.
Variables
- Height
of the paver - Typical paver - 6cm = 2-3/8” / less common
10cm paver = 4”
-
The depth of the setting course – typically 1” but
can vary
-
The amount of paver (side wall) coverage desired by specifier
or installer.
-
Amount of setting course compaction – typically _”
