The classical approach to the power of the

track For the foundation device, sand is first poured into 2-5 centimeters thick, then gravel, 2-3 centimeters, then again sand. To get a better result, sand( 4 parts of sand per 1 part of cement) is also added to the cement slurry. The solution is poured with a layer of at least 2 centimeters thick. Tiles for paving tracks are often placed directly on the dry mix, the proportions are the same.

But you need to remember that this is possible only at plus temperatures, if you want the strength to be high. The moisture content of the mixture can not be more than 1%.For this paving the mixture must be laid on a well-compacted base. And do not need to close the entire area with the mixture that you want to pave. To work was qualitative, it is enough to take the base for 4-5 rows of tiles.

The laid dry mixture must first be poured with water from the watering can, and then sprinkled again with dry cement. Top the tile, better one row, then moisten the next strip. The strength of this method of laying is sufficient, if it is still well compacted with a tamper or special device called a vibration plate.

Sample value for sidewalk tiles

Sometimes the device of tracks from paving tiles requires pre-laying, that is "fitting", because it is not recommended to break this kind of tile. It is necessary to put it "dry" to make sure that all the elements fit well in the paths defined for the tracks. The initial tile is stacked so that one of its corners is at the intersection of the lines drawn.

It is necessary to press it and weigh it heavily with the help of a trowel strictly along the drawn lines. Further tiles are stacked in two directions from the first. In each stacked row, the tiles must also be strongly pressed against each other. When doing the fourth part of the work, you need to go back to the opposite corner and fill in another quarter, and so on. When laying it is necessary to protect or mark the edge, although you can do without clear boundaries.

Tiles are produced in different types, sometimes they make holes, which can be used to plant plants, which makes the tracks quite exotic.

What you need to remember the owner of the paving slab?

Tracks from paving slabs - this is the most common design option and the most popular, because the material comes in very different shapes, sizes and colors, which gives room for imagination and for the most daring design decisions.

In addition, this material is reliable, durable, resistant to severe frosts and fairly simple to operate. It is easy to move along these tracks, water does not stay on them, it is easy to dismantle or replace a failed site.

Taking care of the paths of your manor, remember that:

  • There is a need to replace the metal inventory with plastic ones, because the tile reacts badly to mechanical damage.
  • It will be necessary to abandon abrasive cleaning products and prohibit working with it for children under 14 years old.
  • In the same way it is forbidden to work on this coating with paintwork, as the paint from this tile is not removed.

Another option can be laying concrete tiles 50x50 cm. This type of paving easily fits into any scale, although it is not very fond of it because of the inconvenience.
