Water-washed stone is a construction technique that has been increasingly used in recent years. Its essence is quite similar to the water-washed stone of the 1960s. While it's more challenging to apply on walls, quality is easily guaranteed. Groundwork is less difficult, but it's prone to cracking and localized settling. Therefore, the foundation design and construction must ensure the stability of the subsoil. If necessary, reinforced concrete foundation slabs should be used. Additionally, it's generally recommended to set up at intervals of 5 to 6 meters.Settlement joint。

Construction Requirements
1. Washed stone is all in its natural colorCementStir and mix uniformly, slag cement of type 32.5 or higher or ordinary portland cement.
2, Optimal particle size is 5-8mm, with no more than 1% clay content.
Before large-scale application of water-washed stone, a sample should be made to determine the mixture ratio and construction method.

OtherWashed stone - Caution Measures

The cement grade used in washed stone typically ranges above 425.

2. Upon arrival of the gravels on-site, inspection is required to ensureGravelLow color difference, minimal impurities, and full grains.

All pebbles have been coated and repaired; large-area construction can now proceed.RollerFlatten and compact;

The color powder added to the cement is a UV-resistant powder to prevent the color of the stone pavement from fading after a long period of time.

During construction, the outdoor temperature should be above 5 degrees Celsius to ensure that no hollow tiles will fall off.
