Among the materials of the new generation a worthy place is occupied by polymer-sand tiles, which includes crushed polymeric raw materials, sand and coloring pigment. All components are mixed, heated and pressed under pressure. Technology allows you to repeat in each product shape, color, size and quality. Tile not only preserves the dignity of its counterparts, but also by some indicators significantly exceeds them. It is used for the arrangement of cottages, terraces , yards, sidewalks, footpaths and arrivals to the garage.
Features of polymer-sand paving slabs
Each individual case of using polymer-sand tiles can be unique, since it is possible to combine color shades and reproduce beautiful garden paths of any geometric shape that are only available to our imagination.
The strength and durability of products is difficult to challenge. Products withstand large mechanical stress and can not be broken. During operation, cement dust is not observed on their surfaces. Walking along the sidewalk is nice and safe, as good grip with shoes prevents falling cases. To keep the tracks clean, rinse them thoroughly with water. Frost-resistant, non-slippery and water-repellent surface attracts owners of private plots. It can withstand several hundred cycles of freezing and thawing.
One of the merits of the product is the lack of softening and evaporation in hot weather, so do not be afraid of poisoning by carcinogens and suffer from unpleasant odors. Tile has proven itself in an environment of aggressive environment. It is oil-and-oil resistant, resistant to acids and alkalis, it can be dismantled and re-laid. Technological features of production allow producing light products that for many years under the influence of direct sunlight to maintain the brightness of the color.
How to put a polymer-sand tile?
The material is laid manually or with the help of special plate-laying machines, leaving gaps for expansion. The advantage of tiling is that it can be cut by a Bulgarian not only in a straight line, but also cut out curly elements. The basis for the tile is sand or crushed stone. As a rule, the top layer of the earth is removed and tamped. The tiles are laid with curbs, so the ditches dug from both sides are covered with a small layer of sand, moistened and compacted. A cord is used to mark the curb lines. Before laying the curb, prepare for him a pillow of cement screed.
To improve the quality of work, experts recommend dividing the soil and the foundation for the tile geotextile, overlapped. To fix the edges of the canvas, use a scotch tape. Then gradually pour sand, soak it with water and compact it. Laying the tiles produce a slightly moistened mixture of sand and cement (1: 3), which is poured on a reinforcing mesh laid on the sand.
If you choose a variant with rubble, it is compacted and filled with a cement screed. Then spread the polymer sand tile, using a special glue or sand-cement mortar. You can smooth the rubble with sand, then pour the main layer of sand onto it, compact and tile it.
In any case, they work with a rubber hammer, which align the packing, keeping the distance between the products 3-5 mm. At the last stage of the work, sand or sand-cement mixture is filled with gaps.
