The concrete slabs and pavement slabs from Diephaus offer entry into the terrace slabs world. The typical concrete surface is available in gray and anthracite and in a variety of formats. They are suitable for all accessible areas in the garden and are used for functional outdoor design and for easy surface mounting. The flat surface of the concrete stone slab is provided with a solvent-free coating, which gives it solid basic protection and high color stability.
Advantages of concrete paving slabs:
- Concrete slabs are generally cheaper than natural stone products
- High stability - load-bearing capacity and frost resistance
- Lightweight Laying
- Uniform designs, formats and surfaces
Preparing and laying pavement slabs: The attached video on this page shows all the steps for laying the terrace slabs.
The slabs can be laid in the following steps:
- Prepare the subsurface: Marking - excavating - setting curbs - compacting the subsurface
- Lay gravel and chippings (pay attention to a gradient of at least 2%)
- Laying slabs: Laying is done from the edge, so you don't have to walk on the chippings surface - this ensures clean work. (Laying with joint crosses for the correct joint spacing)
- Compensate unevenness: Use the rubber hammer if it protrudes / help with chippings to lift it out.
- Grouting terrace slabs: To do this, brush in normal joint sand with a broom.
Care: Stains or dirt can appear very quickly on the surface of concrete 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 generally always easy to care for and are weather and frost-resistant.
Notes:
Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner as well as acidic or aggressive cleaning agents should be avoided, as they can damage the surface of the terrace slabs.
Regular cleaning with a broom, water and neutral soap is recommended. This way you can ensure the longevity of the stones.
