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 ensured. For ground applications, the difficulty is relatively low, but cracks and localized settlements are prone to occur. Therefore, the foundation design and construction must ensure the stability of the subsoil. If necessary, reinforced concrete foundation pads should be used. Additionally, it is generally recommended to set them at intervals of 5 to 6 meters.Settlement joint。

Construction Requirements
1. Washed stone is all in natural colors.CementStir and mix uniformly, slag cement with a grade of 32.5 or higher, or general portland cement.
2, Optimal particle size is 5-8mm, with no more than 1% clay content.
3. Prior to large-scale application of water-washed stone, a sample should be made to determine the mix ratio and construction technique.

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

2. Upon arrival at the site, the gravel must be inspected to ensureGravelMinimal color variation, minimal impurities, and full grains.

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

The color powder added to the cement is a UV-blocking color powder to prevent the stone paving surface from discoloring after a long time due to water washing.

During construction, the outdoor temperature should be above 5 degrees Celsius to ensure no hollow drum detachment occurs.
