HIGH PERFORMANCE BEDDING (HPB) DELIVERY Toronto

High-performance bedding, often abbreviated as HPB, is a washed limestone chip that is ¼” in size. It looks like limestone screenings. The difference is that the pea-size limestone has been washed. While limestone screenings tend to wick water away when compacted, HPB allows water to pass easily even when it has been compacted. This is because HPB has angular and not very fine particles. This makes it more stable. However, for added stability during installation, the aggregate has to be contained.

The product is mainly used as the base material when installing paving stones. This is thanks to its ability to create a smooth surface while at the same time offering adequate support for the paving stones. HPB is also preferred because of its high drainage properties. This is so because the product does not compact. As a result, the product can be used in numerous DIY projects.

The main uses of high-performance bedding are creating a base during construction, backfilling and drainage. It is good to keep in mind that HPB works great when it is contained using edging. When the limestone is contained, the angular particles will interlock and ensure there is no heaving and no shifting, and the level of the patio won’t sink. You will get better results when you put a filtration fabric or landscaping to keep the limestone from mixing with the soil.

Any object that is not too heavy or large can be installed using HPB as the bedding. This means you can use it as the bedding for a swimming pool, hot tub or shed. Moreover, thanks to its remarkable drainage properties, HPB can be used under slabs and walls and as a backfill behind retaining walls or around a swimming pool. There are many more uses.
