Decorative color crushed stone is a relatively new product on a stroke. However, in Europe, it has been used for a long time to decorate the flower, lawns, as well as in landscape design.

Decorative crushed stone is obtained by crushing waste arising from the production of facing plates, as well as waste created by mining from the massif of rocks of blocks and architectural and construction products.

2. Prevents the growth of weeds.
3. Complexation of the flower beds and the garden delays moisture.
4. It is easily removed from the soil.
5. Protects ground from weathered.
6. Safe.
7. It has a long service life.

Scope of decorative rubble

• Framing of monuments.
• Landscaping design.
• Aquarium design.
• Creating shores and bottoms from streams and ponds.
• Registration of houses.
• Creating inscriptions on lawns and land.
• Registration of garden tracks, etc.

Technology manufacturing decorative rubble

The production of this building material should be carried out exclusively using high-quality components - this will provide him with rich and bright colors, as well as long shelf life. So the basis for the manufacture is taken decorative granite crushed stone.

How to make decorative rubble

The process of creating a decorative rubble is practically no difference from the process of producing his associate - construction crushed stone, except that after the main operations, the first one is painted.

So that the crushed stone acquired the durability of the color, modern equipment applies.

Before proceeding with painting the material, it is separated on fractions in special devices, of which the corresponding dimensions are selected 4.3-6.4 mm. However, it is not necessary to think that such a kind of necessarily exposed to the caller, since white crushed stone is nothing but a marble crumb of natural color.

The process of creating a decorative colored rubble includes a number of stages:

1. The crushed stone itself is originally purchased.

2. Then minor particles and garbage are sorted to remain extremely suitable and selected material. To do this, use a special device called "roar". Using it, it creates a sifting of rubble in automatic mode, which is pre-loaded there with a shovel.

3. In the event that such equipment is not available to you, you can use a large grid with small holes. It must be tightened and placed under the tilt, after which it is possible to float the building material and start gently silent. When using this technology, all operations are carried out manually.

4. The next stage involves painting. To do this, it is recommended to use rubble fraction 10 mm and more. Thus, a sorted earlier material is placed in a special device, which can be used as a conventional concrete mixer.

5. Then the equipment is poured into the equipment. For staining the stone, it is desirable to take acrylic paint, a volume of at least 20-30% of the volume of rubble.

6. Next, the concrete mixer runs into operation for 40-60 minutes. During this time, the product should be evenly painted.

7. Upon completion of work, crushed stone moves to the receiving bunker, which is a box with a grid. The latter should be pulled by several centimeters above the bottom of the metal device. Cells in the grid must correspond to 10 mm. Such equipment will reduce the paint consumption, as the surplus acrylic will flush through it to the bottom of the box, from where it can be used again.

8. The finished product must be perfectly dry, leaving outdoors.

Laying of decorative rubble

In order to put a color decorative crushed stone, a lot of skills and skills are required. Everything is quite simple:

• originally prepare the relief (garbage, weeds and rhizomes are removed);
• then the soil is insulated with the reference, geotextile or plastic film. In addition, the desired quadrature is fashionable to fill over a concrete tie to 5 cm thick;
• next, drainage is created in the lowest location;
• the perimeter establishes the barrier;
• at the end, crushed stone, which is evenly distributed throughout the territory.

Recommendations:

• in the event that, for the insulation of the soil, you used a runneroid or polyethylene film, then under a layer of rubble, it is necessary to pour sand with a thickness of 3-5 cm. It is pre-it is recommended to be dissolved around the perimeter, tamper and pour water to shrinkage;
• if you are engaged in the design of a garden plot, then designers recommend using a decorative color crushed stone of a fraction of 4-10 mm;
• as a border, you can apply wild stone, ordinary paving borders, as well as special plastic or metal stripes.

Thus, modern polymer paints for decorative rubble are characterized by increased resistance to external and mechanical effects, which allows for a long time to preserve the attractive appearance of the landscape decorated. At the same time, this building material withstands heavy loads - you can safely walk and dance.
