• Choose the material is based on loads that coverage will be taken in the future;

• to ram sand simplify and accelerate better use of road roller or sealing machine;
• cover installation should be carried out in front of him, the master in this case must move forward.

Types of paving stones on the material and method of production

for sale can be found concrete, clinker, stone paving.

most common sidewalk pavers made of concrete.This tile is cheaper than other, has good frost resistance and durability.

Paving bricks made of special clay.

sett of these materials can be made in two different ways: vibrocasting and vibropressing.

If the surface, so the laid pavement, will affect a large load (thick stream of people, heavy vehicles), the preference is to give the cobblestones vibropressing performed.

If the load to be moderate, such as on the track at home, with its task quite cope vibropressed tiles.

This method of production enables elements covering all forms, colors and textures.Service life by quality installation, proper care can reach several tens of years.

In the video presented by the machine, by means of which produce vibropressed blocks and paving stones.

Obviously, this is a very complex mechanism is expensive, but the product resulting in a more robust and durable.

sett stone is the most noble appearance, but is much more expensive.

raw material can be granite, marble, basalt.As this material gives cobblestone coating special strength and incredible durability.

• Fully-sawn;
• sawn-chopped;
• batters.

Fully-sawing stone blocks is the result of filing of the original stone from all sides, resulting in a perfectly shaped stone block.

batters cobblestones give a cubic shape, obkalyvaya extra six sides.

stone surface is not perfectly smooth, but have the most natural look.

as a wizard makes laying on a cement mixture of verifying depth of the guide on stretched.

Border can be spread before starting work, or in the last instance, in the video it is clear that the master additionally verifies evenness rows along the edge of a predetermined curbs.

rasp elements for putting some of the perimeter, as in the following video, you need to at the very end, you can use the grinders.

Once all installation work is finished, the joints should be filled with a special dry or liquid formulation.

Then the entire coating is swept with brooms sponges or overwritten, the composition of the most filled the space between the tiles, then poured water.

With diamond shape can even create a kind of optical illusion.For a more decorative effect it is preferable to use three colors or more.

methods of laying the basic forms of paving

rectangular tile (brick, cobblestone English) can be lined with one of the easiest ways, if you are using plain elements, as in the photo below.

From left to right: linear stacking without shifting, linear styling with a shift relative to each other, "Tree", spiral stacking, stacking modular, modular styling with a linear ligation.

If styling used several colors, the number of options increases at times.Below the photograph are just some of them.

pictured below presents the execution of some schemes.
