Technology "Washed concrete." Examples of the best products. Part 1

In the process of studying information on obtaining decorative surfaces from natural pebbles on technology "Washed concrete", I have accumulated a selection of photos and examples of products already someone produced.

But as this news is some of the secrets and subtleties in the production, it is still a large spread of technology is not. There are territorial binding to the quarries where gravel is extracted or CBC on its basis. This is mainly floodplains.

Shows an example of the main products:

1.Fence patterned blocks.

Size 300h300h200 mm. I manufactured the form of laminated plywood. Shows the shape of the product as a previous article on this topic. But you can buy and forms of industrial manufacturing.

The market is mainly made of concrete blocks with patterned surface under artificial stone and painting. They need to cover the different tones that would get something similar to natural stone. Surface "Washed Concrete" should cover only primer or lacquer to impart the effect of "wet stone".

Blocks are set Dress up onto a steel column tube and filled with concrete. Monolithic pillar.

2.Intake unit with a two-sided decorative surface.

Size 400h200h200 mm hollow. Decorative surface from two sides.

This season plan cast required number of blocks and the folded portion of the front fence portion. Forms I, too plastic, but for lightweight concrete. Blockouts - three PET bottles filled with water. After curing, the water is drained and they are easily pulled out.

Test batch of such units is also cast. Closer in quality to those photographs.

These blocks can be used for the construction of the garage. As blockouts (and to reduce the weight of the block and imparting heat-characteristics) can be used slicing foam. Just need to figure out how to fix them vertically in the form.

3. Caps for collecting and composing pillars.

Dimensions are determined forms. I acquired a plastic shape fence post cap size 390h390 mm

Without these elements of the fence will not look complete.

For those who for the first time faced with such technology, the reference to the description of my experience will be at the end.

4. Inpersonal inazones for flowers.

For these products also exist as the form for the manufacture of blocks. On the market there are similar pots, but a filler in the form of marble chips. Their further polished (remove the top layer of concrete) grinder.

But their views mytomu gives concrete examples in the photos above.

5.Inlaid fireplace and barbecue

Within such composing articles must be perimeter (which will light the fire) to spread fireclay bricks or refractory sheet. And provide for fixing the grid, skewers.

The cost of such dyed concrete barbecue - from 25 to 60 thousand. rub. On the surface "Washed concrete" product will be much more attractive.

For such products must be manufactured form. I think that just made of laminated plywood of high-quality forms are not available here.

If you buy ready plastic molds for the manufacture of such a product, it's probably for the small-scale production for sale. I think in the season will be in demand.

6. Paving stones and road plates

Cobble-stone made of fine gravel with a filler. Become resistant to damage and external mechanical influences appearance. Even if something is broken off over time, it is completely invisible against the background surface. In fact, the paving stones becomes eternal. It may be up to its physical destruction.

Road plates may be of large pebbles:

Various forms for the production of paving stones and tiles in the sale of a huge selection.

7. facade tiles

Tile is similar in fabrication technology on road slabs. Only thinner. I cast in plastic molds 250h250h20 mm.

This surface is highly resistant to external mechanical influences. It is almost impossible to damage, scratch. You can only split off individual stones. But these defects are not visible.

All such products must be given to the effect of "wet stone". Without it, they do not look alike. And without the hydrophobic protection, after the winter, and wet from the snow can act tayaschego efflorescence.

The cost price of each of these products should be considered depending on the type of production. If you are making for yourself, it is a minimum cost of concrete and forms. If you organize production, then added: purchase of equipment, forms, workers' wages, taxes, rent of premises. These costs will also depend on the scale of production.

But the niche is free in the manufacture of products with just a decorative surface in almost every city. Where there is no gravel - you can use the rubble. Products - news, look advantageous compared to other concrete products that attracts buyers.

Well, for those who would like to do just for themselves - beautiful and non-standard items for their homes and land.
