Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a natural, utility-grade aggregate, little maintenance is required once installed. When working with the product:
- Handling: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), specifically gloves, to avoid cuts from sharp natural edges.
- Storage: Store bags in a dry, covered area to prevent saturation. If bags get wet, the weight per bag will increase, making them harder to lift.
- Application: Ensure the base is level before pouring. For drainage applications, consider using a geotextile membrane beneath the shingle to prevent it from sinking into soft subsoils.
- Compatibility: Compatible with most standard construction materials, including PVC piping and concrete foundations.
