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 technique of the 1960s. While the difficulty in wall construction is greater, quality is easier to ensure. Ground construction is not too challenging, but it is prone to cracking and localized settlement. Therefore, the foundation design and construction must ensure the stability of the ground. It is necessary to use reinforced concrete foundation pads. 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 thoroughly, slag cement with a fineness number of 32.5 or higher, or ordinary portland cement.
2, Optimal particle size is 5-8mm, with mud 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 washed stone typically ranges above 425.

2. Gravel must be inspected upon arrival at the site to ensurepebblesMinimal color variation, low impurities, and full grains.

3. All pebbles are coated and patched, then large-scale construction can proceed.RollerFlatten and compact

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

The outdoor temperature during construction should be above 5 degrees Celsius to ensure that there is no hollowing or peeling.

Materials used for washed stone:

Specification: 4~6mm rounded rice stone (without sharp corners), No. 425 silicate white cement (from the same batch), pigments (any pigment), water-washed protective agents, etc. accessories
