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. 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. It is necessary to use reinforced concrete foundation pads. Additionally, it's generally recommended to set them every 5 to 6 meters.Settlement joint。

Construction Requirements
Natural stone finishes are all in their original colors.CementStir and mix thoroughly, slag cement with a type number of 32.5 or higher, or ordinary portland cement.
2, Optimal particle size is 5-8mm, with a silt content not exceeding 1%.
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 water-washed stone is generally above 425.

Upon arrival at the site, the gravel must be inspected to ensureGravelLow color difference, minimal impurities, and full grains.

3, After all the pebbles are coated and patched, large area construction can be carried out.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 due to water washing.

The outdoor temperature during construction should be above 5 degrees Celsius to prevent hollowing and falling off.
