Reliable installation of loose paver elements

Whether in a split bed, on mortar rings or on pedestals - Schlüter-Systems offers solutions for all these types of installation of self-supporting tile elements in outdoor areas that enable a permanently beautiful, damage-free covering.

The Schlüter-TROBA surface drainage system is a trusted classic that forms hollow chambers between the waterproofing assembly and the gravel or crushed stone layer. These chambers protect the waterproofing layers beneath from mechanical stresses, while serving as drainage channels that dependably channel away any penetrating seepage water.

A popular method with unbonded installation is to use thin-bed mortar support points on which the self-supporting paver elements are placed. Here, Schlüter-Systems offers planners and installers the practical TROBA-STELZ-DR formwork rings that are positioned at the joint intersections of the elements, on the TROBA-PLUS-G drainage mat. The rings are filled with thin-bed mortar, and then the paver corners can be placed on the mortar spots, tapped down to the correct height and aligned.

With the TROBA-LEVEL system, unbonded installation of self-supporting paver elements is even more flexible. The stackable, height-adjustable paver supports enable individual installation heights of between 3 mm and over 1 m and can thus compensate for any gradient between 0 and 10%. With this method, the pavers can also be easily lifted again, allowing maintenance of cables, pipework or floor drains to be carried out in the hollow space underneath. The finished covering provides drainage through the open joints between the pavers onto the sloped waterproofing level, which conveys the water to the drainage system without pressurisation.
