Sawn granite paving stones
Imagine: your task is to improve the sidewalk in a busy place near the cafe, so that it is convenient to walk, and there was no end to tourists. Or make the entrance to your own home as pleasant as possible and forget about repairs for many years. There is only one answer: sawn granite paving stones are aesthetically pleasing, durable, and, most importantly, affordable! These days, quality faux paving slabs cost as much as natural stone. Moreover, not a single cement-based paving stone can be compared with granite in terms of durability, since the technology for producing concrete with such a low water absorption coefficient and such a high wear resistance has not yet been invented.

How We Produce Sawn Granite Paving Stones
At the first stage, we take granite blocks directly from the quarry and cut them through the full depth using diamond saw blades. The blocks are sawn in such a way that granite slabs are obtained, for example, with a thickness of 20 cm. One such granite slab can weigh several tons. In mass production of granite paving stones, the preparation of these slab blanks is a continuous process.
Next, these slabs are cut using a multi-blade diamond cutting machine. As a result, granite strips are produced, for example, with a thickness of 5 cm and a width of 20 cm. These strips then undergo thermal treatment.
After thermal processing, the granite strips with a thickness of 5 cm and a width of 20 cm can be converted into finished paving stones in two ways: by splitting or by sawing.
In the first case, we obtain sawn paving stones with split (natural) edges.
When the strips are sawn to a width of 10 cm, we obtain fully sawn granite paving stones in the standard size of 20 × 10 cm.
How are sawn granite paving stones packed and transported?
Unlike split paving stones, which are transported in large bags, we pack sawn granite paving stones on pallets. Their standard size is 120 × 80 cm. One pallet is loaded with products weighing from 1 to 2 tons, but no more! For example, on a pallet with large paving stones 30 * 30 cm in size, 3 cm thick and weighing 1800 kg, 21.6 m2 can fit. The pallet with paving stones is pulled together with polypropylene tapes – for the possibility of transportation over long distances.
Smaller paving stones, for example, 10×10 cm, are also packed on wooden pallets, but this is a rather labor-intensive operation, the cost of which will definitely affect the price of the final product. For this reason, the best solution for sawn granite paving stones is a large format – at least 20×20 cm.
How to lay sawn granite paving stones
Under the granite pavers, a rigid, non-deformable base is required – reinforced concrete 7-10 cm thick. At the same time, to ensure the absence of holes on the road, a layer of concrete is necessary regardless of whether you choose a coating thickness of 5 cm or 3 cm.
Installation of paving stones with a thickness of 5 or more centimeters on a concrete base can be carried out both with the help of a dry cement-sand mixture, and with the help of frost-resistant cement adhesives. In this case, sufficiently wide seams between individual stones are required – at least 5 mm. When mounted on a dry mix, each paving stone is kept in its place not only with the help of the back side, but also with the side surfaces.
We recommend installing sawn granite paving stones 3 cm thick on a concrete base using frost-resistant cement adhesives. They also fill the seams between the paving stones. Also, we note that with the help of one format, but different colors of granite, you can create extremely attractive streets of our cities. As a result, the cost of granite paving stones will turn into a profitable investment!
