A bit of theory

Plastushka - Flat natural stone, in fact, which is pressed with quartz sand additives rocks and limestone. The color range varies from white and pale yellow to cherry, but more often there are all shades of gray and green. The thickness of the tiles on average - 1 to 4.5 cm. Used for facade work plastushka of 2cm if thinner - is to "play" and is not strong enough, the fat is too heavy. A pedestrian paving and driveways choose the thickest. With proper installation and it will withstand a truck.

The lining is made of smooth plastushki with natural topography or treated - "ragged stone" (chipped). Both versions look spectacular, but how is more expensive.

applications

Although many believe that plastushkoy plinth trim only, it is wrong. Such a decorative and durable material versatile.

• The façade - is rare, but it looks amazing.
• Zonal finish - window and door openings, corners. A common variant, the main thing - to pick up the basic finish correctly.
• Decking, track - and looks nicer bare cement, and will last longer.
• Columns - under a canopy in the gazebo.
• Patio - a popular element in modern design courtyard.
• Zone mangala - veneered and decorative elements, when the hearth is large and is lined area in front grill. If BBQ is combined with a covered pergola, plastushka - on stands and fencing.
• Elements of landscape design - the flower beds, rock gardens, parebriki benches.
• Fences - like columns and the main fabric.

Stone well with brickwork and wood, with decorative plaster and clinker. Typical saydingovy façade, shaded stone plinth, will be looked advantageous.

Walls – of facing bricks, golden straw color. Sandstone plinth – light green. That it was not the top edge – cap on the level merges with the wall – plastushkoy brought. Choose a stone with a ragged edge, he looks better with brick edging.

Preparing the stone

At plastushki layered structure, and may be on the surface of dust and earth, stone before operation needs to process. Simply spend a couple of extra days to prepare than to shift when it falls off. Preparation - phased.

• Add water for a day - or in a container with a stone pouring, or in a bowl of water dip.
• Clear brushed metal contamination, a spatula or trowel to remove all loose material.
• To spread out to dry.

Some advise to just shake off the sand and dust, but it is not enough. In water swellable rock, that exfoliates after treatment, otherwise exfoliates from the wall.

A superfluous plastushka not take porous - only the outer layer. Moreover, come salts.

Sale tumbled plastushka, she was polished by machine, with a rounded edge. But is such a pleasure several times more expensive than usual, and not everyone can afford.

If you plan to lay out patterns, it is worth pre-expanded material, choose the color, thickness, shape. However, the sandstone itself is beautiful, even without the patterns obtained an interesting texture.

Substrate preparation

Regardless, it is a wall or pedestal, the base must be sound, clean, always primed.

Some advise a mixture of the "Concrete-Contact", containing an abrasive, but it's a waste of money. Important adhesion adhesive to the surface, i.e., its penetration, but not roughness, which gives a primer. Should choose a concentrate with antiseptic additives, deep penetration.

Under plastushku thicker 3cm make reinforced layer - Net, dowels. It can be mounted directly on the bricks without plaster. When the cap plastered and plastushka thinner than 3 cm, it is possible to do without the grid, but the wall must be as smooth. If the base - a layer of insulation or OSB-plate, reinforcement is required.

What to plant

To get a sufficient adhesion to the substrate, and after a few tiles are not crumbled cycles, it is better not to save money on a solution. Ordinary sand-cement mixture does not keep the stone adhesive specifically manufactured for him. Different manufacturers - has its own numbering, but the general category of the tile adhesive - "Granit". It is designed for increased load, cold-resistant, has a greater permeability. Work with glue convenient: layer - thinner solution - more flexible and did not sit. During the time to really adjust the setting position of the stone.

However it is necessary to prepare for a big expense, plastushka literally sucks the composition. Indicated on the bags consumption can be easily multiplied by two, and even three, whichever base. This is confirmed by forum users.

Glue consumption was enormous, 30 squares took 15 bags. But the result has pleased more than the cost of upset. Everything is fine, for two winters no stone was thrown. I do not regret that did not interfere with adhesive cement.

Job

Adhesive interfere mixer, it is deposited on plastushku spatula-comb, a thin layer. For sealing and finishing are rubber hammer. Seams sealed special gun or makeshift devices. Note: the stone immediately absorbs the solution and dirty. If launder remain divorces.

Cut sandstone grinder, diamond disc cope with any thickness. You need to work with glasses and away from the object, dust, flies a few meters.

Contrast stitch looks advantageous than gray. Adhesive can be tinted black or construction dyes, selecting materials for finishing. a few millimeters should remain between the segments on thermal expansion. If put end to end, tile squeeze each other. Striking a wide, flat seam.

Top is coated plastushkoy is tilted or special tide mounted. As an option - even, thick seam of glue. To get a perfect level can be noted lace and glue construction adhesive tape. After lift-off will, as a ruler.

Protection

Sandstone after laying be processed protective agent. It can be brilliant or glossy varnish, impregnation for a stone or water repellent. Processed stone becomes moisture-resistant, not covered with mold or mildew, dirt will wash off easily. Yes, and the resulting effect of "wet stone" greatly increases the decorative effect.

I decided to see how it will look. One half was moistened with water, a second left dry. It could be no doubt: in a week as dries, all processed hydrophobizator.
