How to Install Lighting in Paver Walls and Columns | Western Interlock
Join Colin in this illuminating tutorial where we'll show you how to add lights to a block seating wall, elevating your outdoor space to new heights.
In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of adding lighting to a block seating wall or double-sided application. Learn how to carefully assess spacing and alignment for optimal fixture placement, as well as techniques for creating space and concealing wires seamlessly. Discover methods for hiding wires, including drilling holes and running conduit underneath pavers to a transformer, ensuring safety by burying low-voltage wiring. Finally, we'll cover testing the setup and completing the installation with cap stones for a polished ...

    Although this video gives a good general idea of how polymer sand works, more detail is needed on how to apply it. One thing that needs to be clarified in your video is how you remove the sand from the surface of the pavers. Are you hosing it off, blowing it off, or what? Also, the wetting technique needs to be addressed more clearly.

    The outside edge is pressed into the soil and stacked up to match the porch height. The porch slab has a completely different foundation that's not tied very well to those outside stones. Even with the adhesive, won't those outside stones shift after a few heavy rains and freeze/thaw cycles therefore distorting the outside perimeter?

    • @WesternInterlock
      @WesternInterlock 2 месяца назад

      Good question, here in our climate we have no freeze thaw that would push this method to its limitations. We do however have a very consistent amount of rainfall in our region and with the porch mostly covered and facing the North, it hasn't seen much of it. This is just a pretty face to help tie in the style of hardscape a little better, we do not think it is making a dramatic difference in the weight of this slab to persuade it to move, settle, or separate any faster than if it was left alone.

    Just my opinion, but, I would have just mortared the interior pavers in and avoided using the Geo-underlayment .😊

    • @WesternInterlock
      @WesternInterlock 2 месяца назад

      The reason we refrained from that method is the added thickness, and weight. We use a Geo-filter fabric to create something that can separate the concrete paver from direct contact to the concrete surface as condensation between the two can accelerate efflorescence. This is also why we try to steer from certain types of mortars to adhere them to a concrete surface. If this porch was not covered we also would add 3/4"-1" weep holes every 6-8 square feet to reduce condensation which can be dramatically increased by rainfall from above as all concrete surfaces dry through the top, also increasing the risk of efflorescence. These are all preventative measures, not guarantees.
