Cubic Stone

Installation Instructions

Cubic stone, a traditional paving material used worldwide, has a long history in the streets and sidewalks of ancient cities. It is increasingly popular as an alternative to concrete and asphalt pavements. Cubic stone is versatile, suitable for landscaping parks and gardens, villas, fountains, water channels, speed bumps, and wall cladding, adding a unique beauty to these places.

Installation Methods for Cubic Paving Stones

Dry Installation Method

This method does not use cement-sand mortar, reducing costs and speeding up execution. Without grouting and slurry, surface water penetrates the underlying layer and is directed outward through peripheral drainage, ensuring a water-free, non-slip surface. Restoration is simple; if excavation is needed, the area can be collected and reinstalled without new materials.

Cement-Sand Mortar Method

This method involves the usual sub-base preparation for pavements, followed by installation with a cement-sand mortar and grouting.

FAQ

1. Should I use granite cubic stones or travertine/marble cubic stones?
   • Most customers prefer granite. Travertine or marble cubic stones may become slippery after a few years of use in areas with heavy traffic.
2. What thickness of cubic stone should I use?
   • For vehicle traffic areas, a thickness of 10 cm is recommended. The cost of 10 cm cubic stones is almost double that of 5 cm stones. For garden and villa projects, 5 cm or 3 cm thicknesses are usually used.
3. How are stones loaded and unloaded?
   • For domestic deliveries, stones are usually loaded by a loader and unloaded by a dump truck. If cubic stones are packaged per the customer’s request, they are loaded and unloaded using a crane or forklift.
