Laying Paving Slabs
Laying paving slabs consists of several steps: Determine the location where the sidewalk will be located surface and slope, designed to drain water (transverse, longitudinal or longitudinal and transverse). Turnkey basis. As a rule, it is a gravel-sand (sand – 4 cm gravel – 14 cm) or crushed stone pad. Difficult conditions include a cement-sand base (120-150 kg of cement / 1 cubic meters. Sand, the height of the cement-sand mixture – 3-4 cm). To to the paved area served as long as possible each layer of pillows carefully leveled and compacted by vibration or hand tamping.
The last layer of the water and carefully poured over 2-3 hours (in solar weather) you can begin to equalize. After this, proceed to the paving. For a start determined by the composition of elements of the composition and shape of the tiles. After selecting the desired image on the bevel tile and pull a cord on it laid the first row. Tiled strictly away from you.
Laid treatment so that each plate tightly related to the previous, the seam between them should be in the range of 2-5 mm. If the tile is uneven, a It is enclosed sand trowel and leveling happens again. At the conclusion of all major works from the top tiles sprinkled with cement-sand mixture (1:8), all seams are carefully . Mixture in the gaps with a hose with Spray thoroughly moistened to harden it. Notes: It is impossible to lay the cover on rainy days. You can not sprinkle the tile filings. If your site is different, "difficult soil" should be taken into note that any bias can distort coverage. To avoid this, do the following: We cover the ground 80 mm layer of concrete from the top – 40 mm layer of cement-sand mixture semi, after her vibrating top tiled. There is also laying on a solution. Apply it with intensive use of the coating. The basis for such a placement is a reinforced concrete screed, it is applied 25 mm layer solution, it is laid tiles that once sprinkled the top with sand.
