Paving stone: varieties,characteristics and properties

There are a variety of building materials, the existence of which is still several decades was known only to specialists in the field of construction, and today without them it is hard to imagine any garden. A part of ºtih building materials are the product of complex chemical and engineering process, to produce which has only been made possible thanks to new discoveries in materials science. True, there are enough simple products that had all the chances will be in the Arsenal of builders in the beginning of the last century, but, unfortunately, it did not happen.

Today, when these materials were tested and proved their efficiency - they're catching up a crazy pace and have become an integral part of life of almost all gardeners.

In Ukraine, its use has reached a high level in the 70s - 80s of the last century, but production was limited only to tiles of great size, that was short-lived and very often cracked.

The real breakthrough in the use of paving stones has become its production in a new way, by pressing that allowed us to reduce the size tratuarnoy tiles, and as a result, to increase its strength.

the

the Main properties of modern pavers concrete:

the
  • withstands high temperature fluctuations;
  • high level of environmental protection;
  • does not melt in the sun.

depending on the method of production tratuarnoy tiles (casting by using a vibration effect or dry vibropressovoe) characterized by its physical and technical characteristics.

So the pavers, which is manufactured by means of casting, using the vibration effect has the following characteristics:

the
  • operation life up to 10 years;
  • class frost - F200;
  • strength - 100 - 300 kg/cm2;
  • water – up to 5 percent of the volume.

Sett produced by dry vibrocompression method has the following characteristics:

the
  • operation life up to 25 years;
  • frost – to F300;
  • strength – 300-400 kg/ cm2;
  • water – up to 0.5 percent of the volume.
