The EHL paving slab is particularly characterized by its high functionality and cost-effectiveness. It has a flat surface. The edges of the product are slightly beveled and form a slightly chamfered finish. The pavement slab consists of two layers: The load-bearing core concrete layer is the main component of a concrete block and supports the facing layer that is visible at the end, which determines the visual impression.
Advantages of concrete pavement slabs:
- Concrete slabs are generally cheaper than natural stone products
- High stability - load-bearing capacity and frost resistance
- Two-layer construction
- Uniform designs, formats and surfaces
Preparing and laying pavement slabs: The attached video on this page shows all the steps for laying the pavement slabs.
The slabs can be laid in the following steps:
- Prepare the subsurface: Marking - excavating - setting curbs - compacting the subsurface
- Gravel and Laying gravel bed (pay attention to a gradient of at least 2%)
- Laying panels: Laying is done from the edge, so you don't have to walk on the gravel surface - this ensures clean work. (Laying with joint crosses for the correct joint spacing)
- Compensate for unevenness: Use the rubber hammer if it protrudes / help with grit to lift it out.
- Grouting panels: To do this, brush in normal joint sand with the broom.
Maintaining paving slabs: Stains or dirt can appear very quickly on the surface of paving slabs. It is important that these are removed immediately with a wet cloth. As long as the stains are fresh, removing the dirt can be easier. If there are any residues or if the liquid has already absorbed into the concrete, you can clean with water and pH-neutral soap. Concrete slabs are usually easy to care for and weather and frost-resistant.
