Don't buy paving slabs (problems after 2 years). Choose the everlasting tile

To improve the site, each owner is faced with the question: what to make garden paths, various sites, parking for cars. Stone, concrete or asphalt are used for a solid foundation.

Today paving slabs are gaining popularity. It attracts its beautiful appearance and, due to its shape, ease of installation.

Despite the fact that the tile is a durable material, over time, it will require replacement. Perhaps for someone it will last a long time, but someone will have to change it after 2 years.

Why paving slabs (modern and beautiful material) can be a problem? Let's figure it out.

The tile can be without chamfer or with a chamfer. Many people choose the first tile option. Such a surface is practically without joints, good for rollerblading, etc. On its surface there is granite screening. It looks monolithic from the navia, and over time, dust and dirt get clogged between the tiles and the surface loses its former beauty.

Large gaps between tiles, load, uneven surface can lead to cracks, chips. Therefore, for heavy loads, vibropressed material should be chosen. For garden paths, terraces, alleys, vibrocasting is better suited.

There is a tile, the surface of which has a certain color. After 1-2 years (despite the quality and manufacturer), the tiles will noticeably lose their brightness. There is also such a minus of multi-colored tiles. If you fry a kebab, drops of fat, soot get on the tiles and such contamination is very difficult to wash off. The stains on the tiles are clearly visible. Scuffs and scratches are also visible, which cannot be washed off or removed.

Gray paving stones are the best choice. This color does not fade, does not fade. The spots on it are not so visible and the price is less.

Builders say it's better to buy clinkerthan painted concrete. Although it is a little more expensive. But the color does not fade and is much stronger. In addition, the clinker can be cleaned with any chemical agent. He is not afraid of cleaning with a coarse brush, a shovel in winter. If this is done with painted concrete, then the tile will not be restored (only changed to a new one).

Colored paving slabs Is a waste of money. The tiles will not last long and the color will be lost after a couple of years. Better to pay a little more and buy clinker. It is of high quality, reliable and eternal. Or if you want to save money, it is better to choose paving slabs of gray shades with granite screening. It does not fade due to its natural color.
