The application of pebbles in paving is extensive and has a long history. They can not only create functional, durable and solid roads, but also bring unparalleled natural beauty and artistic value.
The application of pebbles in paving is extensive and has a long history. They can not only create functional, strong and durable roads, but also bring unparalleled natural beauty. Pebble paving is far more than simply laying stones on the ground; it is a craft that integrates engineering, ecology and art. Whether it is pursuing the traditional patterns of retro elegance or creating modern permeable roads with a simple and ecological style, pebbles can provide excellent solutions. Before deciding to use them, it is crucial to weigh the advantages of their aesthetic and ecological benefits against the disadvantage of unevenness, and ensure that experienced workers carry out standardized construction. This is the key to success.
The cemented stone made from Crushed stone pebbles has many advantages： The special polymer adhesive has extremely high strength and, after curing, can firmly bond the stones, forming a whole. It has excellent compressive and wear resistance, meeting the load requirements for sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and even light vehicle lanes (such as residential roads and parking lots). It is not prone to loosening or falling off.
The surface is composed of natural stone particles, with high roughness and a large friction coefficient. Even in rainy or snowy weather, it can provide excellent anti-slip performance, ensuring the safety of pedestrian passage, far exceeding that of smooth stone or ceramic tiles.
The pore structure enables the underground water vapor to naturally evaporate, unlike impermeable pavement, which causes moisture accumulation below the ground. This is beneficial for the soil ecosystem and the growth of plant roots (especially suitable for the areas around tree pits). Before deciding to use it, weigh the advantages of its aesthetic and ecological features against the disadvantages of unevenness, and ensure that it is constructed by experienced workers in accordance with specifications. This is the key to success.
The surface of the pebbles is smooth, and their adhesion to the cement slurry is slightly weaker compared to the rougher crushed stones. However, this becomes an advantage in the "water washing" key step. Construction workers can more easily wash away the surface cement slurry at the right moment, allowing the pebbles to be perfectly exposed. The surface is clean and not easily contaminated by cement slurry, thus better presenting their original color.
Can create unique artistic effects: By using different colors (such as black, white, gray, and yellow) of pebbles to create regional combinations or puzzles, one can create highly artistic patterns and gradient effects, thereby enhancing the overall taste and uniqueness of the project.
Corrosion-resistant: The main component, SiO₂, is a very stable compound that is resistant to acids, alkalis, and weathering. It does not react with chemical substances in the surrounding environment and has an extremely long service life.
Natural and non-toxic: It is 100% natural material, non-radioactive, and free of harmful substances to humans or the environment. It is an ideal environmentally friendly building material.
Renewable: Although it cannot be regenerated quickly, it is abundant as a natural stone resource. Permeability: As a paving material, its gaps allow rainwater to seep through, replenishing groundwater and alleviating surface runoff. It is the preferred material for the "sponge city" concept.
Crushed Stone Pebble: 2-3mm, 3-5mm,4-6mm,6-9mm,9-12mm,1-2cm,2-3cm,3-5cm
Construction process:
The construction process of water-washed stone: Base treatment and preparation → Material mixing and stirring → Layer laying and leveling → Initial pressing → Surface washing → Curing → Finished product protection and application of sealant (optional)
The construction process of adhesive stone: Base treatment and preparation → Ingredient mixing and stirring → Laying and spreading → Compaction and leveling → Curing and maintenance → Cleaning and maintenance
