Steps from paving slabs "Clover" (5 photos)
Here is a photo of the steps of the porch, lined with Krakow clover. As you can see, a whole tile is laid in the middle of the step, and at the edges there is a finished extension (factory halves of tiles), i.e. when choosing the size of the steps, it is advisable to make sure that you do not have to cut the tile (and use only whole).

How to make paving slabs
Tile Production Scheme:
- Mixing concrete mix.
- Composition: cement, sand, water
- It is better to choose cement M500 - for durability.
- Water and sand should be cleaned. Note: small pebbles in the sand do not play a big role in strength, they can be left (affects only the texture)
- Additives: to give stability to the tile, we recommend adding to the mixture plasticizers
- For uniformity of the mixture with stirring, use a perforator with a nozzle mixer or a concrete mixer
Kneading process- Turn on concrete mixer
- pour sand
- pour cement
- Only then start adding water
Caution: Excessive water makes concrete more fragile. - Add water-repellent and reinforcing components for strength.
- To add color, add inorganic color pigments.
- The mixture is ready if:
- lumps ceased to form
- the mixture has a uniform color
- Formation of tiles on a vibrating table.
- Forms should be greased with oil (can be machine)
- Tip: to make the tile stronger, add reinforcing elements (rods, metal wire or mesh) to it.
- Half fill the mold
- Lay the wire mesh
- Fill the remaining volume of the form so that the grid is in the middle.
- Give the form a vibration
There are 3 ways !!!
- Use a proprietary vibrating table
- Vibrostol can be made independently (see video)
- If there is no vibrating table !!!
- Place the mold on a hanging shelf or rack
- Perform a rhythmic tap with a mallet on the design of the shelf.
- This will create a perfectly acceptable vibration for cement compaction.
- Aging products.
- Shelter forms with concrete polyethylene
- To sustain in this condition from 2 to 3 days
- Attention: to prevent cracking it is necessary to maintain high humidity, for this you should periodically water the already hardened solution in forms with water !!!
- Excavation of the finished tile.
- Pull the edges of the form
- Shake out contents
- Place the tiles for a couple of weeks on drying in the shade of the open air
- Tile packing.
- Shipment and sale (for large industries).
Where to get forms for tiles?
- You can make it yourself
- Purchase ready
- One form is enough for 200 tiles,
