Some people may think that giving their elderly relative a mobile is the right way to go, and although there is no right or wrong answer – I’d suggest that a cordless landline may be more suitable. This is because: Note: laying loose, that is *unbound*, gravel or small aggregate over a hard base is never a good idea. Read the FAQ to find out more. This project is using, or will be using, a *bound* gravel, so laying over a form base is acceptable. Placing the Gravel:

We wouldn't recommend to jet wash, that would be quite a lot of pressure directly on to the stones. But can clean with warm water.

The only cuff for all ages and abilities.

Ensuring they have a landline telephone is one of the best options here, to allow them to live independently but also have help to hand should they need it. No, this contamination will stop a good bond being achieved between Easihold and the stones. We would recommend to wash the stones first and allow them to dry. And key to this simplicity is the way that EasiHold is applied. Unlike conventional resin bound surfacing, the binder component, ie, the resin, is not pre-mixed with the selected aggregate, so there is no requirement of a forced action mixer, no need for messy cleaning solvents, no demand for specialist rakes, lutes, floats and spreaders. It’s so simple it can be used by homeowners, DIYers and gardeners with no complicated training. Zen-style garden - ideal candidate for EasiHold On this project, there’s a small area of loose gravel outside the kitchen door of a semi-rural property. It’s nothing grand or particularly special. It measures about 10 square metres and there’s a handful of flagstones set into the gravel to make it safer and easier for the homeowners, their children, and the family pets to enter and leave the building via that kitchen door. The area to be treated with the EasiHold system and a decorative marble

Vulnerable projects, those at risk of being disturbed by over-eager kids or excitable pets should be fenced off for the first 24 hours or so to prevent the still-curing surface being disturbed. Easihold is effective down to a maximum depth of 25mm. 20mm depth is generally the best depth for stones when treated with Easihold. The lifetime of a mobile isn’t very long – with technology changing so rapidly mobile phones seem to break or stop working after only a few years. Landline phones also don’t need credit to work, if a mobile has no credit then it can’t make any phone calls (apart from 999). Easihold can be poured on from a watering can. We recommend using a maximum of 1 litre per 1.2m² and 1x5 Litre Jerry can covers 6-8m² using Pour On Method per coat, ensuring your stones are evenly coated.Ensuring the buttons are large and have contrasting colours – this makes them both easy to see, and easy to press so those with vision and mobility issues can use them. The longer Easihold is left to dry, the better. Ideally Easihold would have 48 hours of good weather to dry in - that will give you the optimal result. hours later, the EasiHold has cured sufficiently to take careful foot traffic, and a couple of days later, it will stand up to walking, running, children, dogs and everyday pedestrian traffic. It’s even strong enough to cope with the occasional over-run by the lawn mower. It’s important you apply Easihold in the right weather conditions. Warm weather and most importantly, dry conditions for the 48 hours after application will give you optimal performance from your Easihold binder. Big screens – it’s easier to see the number or person that is ringing, make sure that the screen has a light too so it can be seen in the dark.

We would recommend to mix the Easihold and stones in a 30 litre tub. To save time, you can use a drill with a paddle attachment when mixing; or you can mix by using a gauging trowel. You would also need a flooring trowel for the application.

Where the decorative aggregate is being placed over a bare sub-grade, a construction grade geo-textile could be laid before the gravel is placed – it’s not essential but it will prevent any mud or dirt ‘pumping up’ from beneath and discolouring the gravel in months to come. Easihold can be spray applied using a standard airless sprayer. For the spray application, you can double the coverage area of 1 litre of Easihold – covering up to 2.8m² per coat and 1x5 Litre Jerry can cover 12-14m² using Spray On Method per coat. Can it really be that easy? Well, as long as the instructions are followed and, absolutely critically, the correct type of aggregate is used, it genuinely is that simple. Spread the gravel, spray with the EasiHold, allow it to set, job finished. Case Study: This is a DIY friendly bundle. Mix a little at a time to suit your needs. The working time is 1 hour, and it is possible to re-seal the Easihold tub and use at a later date. Finalist at Chicago Show - Easihold was a finalist in the best product category at the International Garden Centre Convention, Chicago, 2019.

I’d suggest either the BT Big Button Phone or the Geemarc Amplidect 295, both mentioned above, in case of emergency. This bundle contains 1 x 5 litres of Easihold and 4 x 25kg bags of washed and dried decorative aggregate which are mixed together either in full or in proportional mixes. Not all stones are suitable for Easihold application. Stones between 4mm and 10mm in diameter work the best, but even stones up to 20mm can work well if angular and clean. You can read more about suitable stones in our blog here. The amplified phone has a volume of 30dB and a speaker that helps you hear what the other person is saying. It is also hearing aid compatible which is perfect for those who are hard of hearing. For those preferring to use a watering can, ensure there is a fine rose head fitted to the spout before applying. It’s then a simple task of pouring some of the ready-to-use EasiHold resin into the can before applying it to the gravelled surface.

EazyHold Universal Cuff: Adaptable, Hygienic, and Oh So Comfortable!

Each bag of decorative stones covers 1m2 at 15mm. The decorative stones contained in this bundle are washed, dried and screened to work perfectly with the Easihold stone binder. Prior to being treated with the binder, the stones appear lighter from the drying process. Easihold can be spray applied using a standard airless sprayer. For the spray application, you can double the coverage area of 1 litre of Easihold – covering up to 2 m2 per litre.
