Manufacturing and application
Manufacturing of paving slabs «English Cobblestone» takes place in several stages:
A mixture is made. The composition includes cement, water, coarse sand and crushed stone.
Then the resulting mixture is placed in a special form, in the form of a cobblestone natural stone.
After vibrocompression, the workpieces are sent to the drying chamber. The material is dried for twenty-four hours.
It is worth noting that if the form of a natural stone is used, then during production, the dye may not be added to the composition of the pigment. This is because cement and real natural stone are almost the same color. If you do not add dye to the composition, then the tile will turn out to be stronger and of better quality..
