To date, almost all sidewalks and even the passage parts are covered with a paving. This is actually a practical product that is actively used in construction for hundreds of years. He received particular popularity in recent years, when the cost of the paving slaves began to decline significantly. Moreover, it is often produced at home. However, often manufacturers of this product offer a durable paving, which is made according to special technology using polymers and some other components.
It also makes sense to lay a pavement in the country area. This is a great solution that allows us to turn ordinary territory in a modern place to rest. With the help of a variety of blocks, you can create an original composition, and this will be the main decoration of the site. Also, this construction products are very often used to create small tracks. Universality - the main line of the paving.
Features and shortcomings
The classic pavement is a product made of solid rock. Thus, the material resistant to abrasion, which makes it almost eternal.
Also, a blocking can be attributed to the usual pavement tile, which is not much different from classic products, but it is much less. Such a tile is made on the basis of concrete and can have a variety of shape and color. Nowadays, you can find a mass of unique additives for concrete, which radically change the properties of the building material.
When using proper technology, the paving can be operated for hundreds of years. Definitely, this is only if the breed is actually durable and reliable. The paving slabs gradually loses its initial properties, and after 10 years it becomes completely unsuitable as a roadbed.
Thus, it is the classic pavement that is the best option for those who want to create a high-quality road or a small path. However, it should be prepared for the fact that the products will be quite expensive, and the laying process will occur very long. The largest popularity of small sizes. Accordingly, putting her a big way or a platform around the house will have for a long time.
If the pavement is used to create a carriageway, then you need to remember that it is not very nice to ride such roads. During movement in the car, a shaking is felt that negatively affects the well-being of passengers. Therefore, as a highway, it is best to make a choice in favor of the asphalt coating, but the parser is still suitable for creating sidewalks.
Basic characteristics of blocks
As already mentioned, the classic pavement is a product from a stone breed. You can also meet a blocking of concrete or clinker. These options are cheaper and have some disadvantages associated with not the highest durability. However, it is a small price most and attracts people who want to purchase such products.
Stone paving slave is created precisely on the basis of natural stone, marble or granite. Ultimately, for the production of such products, special equipment will be required, which will give stone a certain form. Often for this process requires a large breed, as well as a homogeneous structure.
It is much easier to produce a storage bar based on vibropressing. In this case, we are talking about the release of products based on concrete. Production technology is based on the creation of a concrete mix. After that, it is necessary to use equipment for sealing material. Often it is the vibrostol or vibrationboard, depending on the scale of production. Plastic or wooden forms are filled with a concrete mixture, after which the material is rambling. After several days, the blocking can be used for construction work.
As already mentioned, when creating a concrete paving, you can use various additives that are capable not only to change the color of the products, but also affect its main characteristics.
Process laying blocks
Before laying paversing, it is necessary to place the territory on which the main works will occur. It is best to use wooden stakes and threads that will fully determine the scale of laying the material.
Next, you need to remove a small layer of soil (up to 40 cm). At the same time, it is necessary to do everything possible so that the surface on which work will occur is as smooth as possible. In this case, you can use a building level, with which any irregularities are easily detected. It is also desirable to take the surface to the future that the pavement does not fail, as often happens.
After that, the base surface is created. This is done so that the quality of the future track is really high. If you do everything right, the surface will be in excellent condition for ten years. The first surface layer consists of a small fraction of a crushed stone, the second layer is geotextile, which is a cloth to improve the quality of the base. The last layer consists of sand. In general, all three layers should be equal to the thickness of the remote layer of the soil. Again, all components are tamped and level.
Now the main part of the process comes - the start of laying a paving slaves. Often, the laying is carried out on a cement solution or a dry base. For greater reliability, it is still recommended to make a choice in favor of the first option.
For laying, you need to securely install a pavement and make a shrinkage, which is carried out with the help of a cinema or rubberized hammer. It should be verified that the unit of material is reliably located in the prepared surface. Similarly, the rest of the construction work is happening. Also for shrinkage can be used by vibratinglitis.
It is also desirable to arrange a border, which will come the stiffness of the site created around the track.
When laying the paversing ended, you need to take care of filling out voids that are available between stones. For greater reliability, it is better to fill the seams with cement mortar, but it can be limited to the use of sand.
At the very end, the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe track is watering with water, which gives the created platform high reliability and durability. Previously, it is necessary to post all the remains of sand and cement on the surface.
