Laying paving stones it is not easy. Yet, the role of cobblestones in landscaping plays one of the main roles in landscaping. There are two main types of cobblestones on the Ukrainian market: lita ta pressed. Their name comes from the production technology.

Pavement should not be chosen for the price, and by quality. We will consider with you the difference between them. Cast pavers are easier to manufacture. It does not require industrial equipment. Many people make it manually. The cement-sand-gravel mixture with plasticizer and color is poured into molds, then put on a vibrating table. Then, under the influence of vibration, the mixture settles and compacts, releasing air.

Pressed paving stones are produced in automatic production. With this technology, the mixture is not only vibrated, but also pressed with a special machine. Then they are kept in a special chamber for several days.
