How to trim with a vibrating plate of paving slabs correctly.

Laying paving slabs using vibration placers

The vibration plate is made to compact bulk materials using oscillatory movements. After the materials are poured to the surface, their particles are not located close enough to each other. So that they fit as tightly as possible and use tamping. This helps to change the supporting properties of some materials for further construction work on the surface.

Traming using a vibrating plate is used in many construction areas. Especially often it is used in the following cases:

• Laying lawns;
• Road construction;
• The creation of bulk pillows for the foundation of most buildings, as well as on the floors of tall buildings;
• Construction of sports grounds and automobile parking;
• Laying asphalt;
• Sealing for pits and trenches, for laying engineering communications.

In some cases, tamping is used when laying paving stones and paving slabs. This allows you to do work several times faster.

How to work?

In order to use a vibrating plate, no special skills are required. Anyone will cope with this task if he acts carefully and remember the safety rules:

• Before starting work, a thorough inspection of the vibration fuel for faults is carried out. Particular attention should be paid to the protective casing for the transmission belt. He protects the engine from dust. If the vibration plate works on gasoline or diesel, then you also need to check the presence of fuel and oil in the engine.
• The site, which is supposed to be treated with a vibration plate, must be leveled and cleaned of garbage. You can not work with very wet (after rain) or too dry surface.
• It is necessary to start a mechanism. In most models, for this you should just press the start button. A hand starter is present on individual vibration stamps. When using them, you need to smoothly pull the cord and wait. The technique should warm up well. You can only start the engine on a flat surface.
• When working, the device operator is located in the back of the vibrating plate. He should not bend much over the device or artificial methods to speed up its course. The vibration plate works in exact mode, which is selected in accordance with the surface.
• A special handle is used to control the vibro fabric. It allows the device to turn in different directions. After turning, it is necessary to quickly move to the stove in order to avoid possible injuries.

We must not forget about the timely replacement of the consumable materials of the device. Oil should be changed once a month or every 100 hours of work. Use oil or gasoline of the inappropriate brand is prohibited, this can lead to a quick failure of the vibrating plate. Brands of gasoline and oil must comply with those indicated by the manufacturer in the technical guide to the device.

Prior to the start of the rampant material, the chosen surface should be cleaned. To do this, various garbage is removed from it. pieces of boards, fragments of bricks, cobblestones.

Priming

Sand soil is best for the structure of small buildings. It does not delay water, which is why it is not subject to frosty fusion. Flooding soils are able to push the foundation in winter, so not suitable for construction. They (or weak soils) when installing buildings are removed and replaced with sand.

The technology of laying paving slabs with vibration tiles the main error

To date, asphalt coating is losing its popularity and demand, since among the building material a better and more durable. Porcelain tiles completely replaced asphalt, since its qualities are more practical, in addition, it is environmentally friendly and harmless to the environment. Such tiles are used for laying tracks in private courtyards, near shops, cottages, as well as for more large.scale purposes, such as squares, roads and sidewalks in cities.

Laying tiles using vibration placers. Stages and features of the process

• The production of paving slabs, like its styling, is a comprehensive, multi.stage event. In the process of work, clear rules are required, therefore, the installation of tiles should be carried out exclusively by professional teams of workers.
• Conducting preparatory work. This stage is the first and basic, since the success of the further stages depends on the quality of preparatory work. First of all, you need to decide on the contours and set special beacons. In the process of this work, it is necessary to take into account the angles of the territory and other features (slopes, irregularities, etc. P.)
• Layout. At this stage, the upper layer of soil is removed and an additional, leveling layer is laid. You can make an even surface with gravel, crushed stone.
• Installation of drainage and slopes. The drainage layer should be waterproof, since despite the density of the stitches of the tile, the base is still impregnated with water. Through the supporting layer moisture is discharged directly into the ground.
• Installation of borders. In order for the paving slabs not to spread and not deformed after laying, it is necessary to install special curbs and curves. For their effectiveness, the sizes of such borders should not half of the height of the tile.
• Additional leveling sand layer. Sand is applied with a layer of 4-5 centimeters.

The main process of installation of paving slabs

Laying paving slabs begins from the bottom point to the upper. For more accurate work before laying out the first row of tiles, it is necessary to stretch the cord along the entire length and width of the area. The location of the joints must be controlled constantly so that the laying of the tiles is even and dense. To control the horizontal surface, a special two.meter level is used with a minimum error (5 mm per 2 m of laid tiles).

The use of vibration placers

At the final stage of laying paving slabs, a process of its compaction is needed, which will significantly extend the durability and its operational period. This stage is performed using special equipment, vibration fuels. A certain rubber sole is installed on this tool that prevents tile damage during the sealing process. After the seal ended, dry and clean sand is poured onto the finished surface. Thus, the sand clogs into the seams between the tiles and eliminates all the micro.bros.

The main errors made when laying tiles

• The presence of voids under tiles that did not eliminate in the process of preparation. This error leads to the appearance of cracks and fungus.
• Lack of control over the evenness of the seams, leading to inconsistencies of tiles. In order to avoid such problems, you need to use special “tile crosses”
• Poor.quality cut of tiles. To prevent uneven slices from occur, it is necessary to use professional equipment and the right wheels for corner grinding.
• Laying tiles not in one plane. The final result depends on how carefully and qualitatively the surface was processed and prepared.

All pros and cons of paving slabs

Vibration plate is a vibration machine. The tamping machine or vibration plate is designed to compact building materials and is everywhere used by builders for a wide spectra of tasks. This is due to the reliability of the design of the equipment, its efficiency and simplicity in operation. Let us consider this equipment in more detail today.

Appointment and principle of work

The design consists of a vibrator (rotating heaviness connected to a flat platform. shock stove) and the engine that creates shock waves according to the bulk material, using a vibrator shock stove.Working, the engine promotes the flywheel of the vibrator, which creates rhythmic vibrations. These fluctuations are leveled and rammed with bulk materials, filling the inner voids inside the bulk materials.Due to the various modes of the vibrating plate engine for paving slabs, there can be several “speeds” of work and directions of movement, including “reverse”. This helps the equipment operator easily move in a compacted environment in various (desired) directions.

Some features

Thanks to small physical dimensions, it is possible to use in hard.to.reach places. allows you to perform tamping where other special equipment cannot be applied.

Some models call the removable shock stove. This means that tamping of crushed stone, tamping of sand with a vibration plate or other building materials can be effectively compacted, with different density from the same equipment. This is added by the versatility of the vibration plate.

How vibro.fuel varieties differ ?

Vibroopers vary in several components. this is:

Distinguish between gasoline, electric and diesel engines.

Depends on the construction/commercial/personal task.

It is worth noting that laying paving slabs with a vibro fuel is possible if its weight is less than 90 kilograms, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the tile.

Stages of laying paving slabs with a vibration plate

In addition to working with bulk materials, it is possible to lay paving slabs with a vibration plate.

• Preparation/layout/marking;
• Drainage/slopes;
• Installation of borders;
• Application of bulk material and its subsequent tamping of crushed stone and sandy sand with a vibrating plate;
• Laying of paving slabs;
• Repeated seal.

The use of the vibration plate to prepare the base and the subsequent laying of paving slabs is carried out in accordance with the general regulations of installation work. Compliance with these rules guarantees the durability of the final styling and high operational properties.

How soreplate tiles after laying is compacted

There are several ways to perform the final rampage. Most often, a rubber pillow is used as an addition (lower part) for a vibrating plate. It has sufficient softness so as not to damage the pattern/mosaic and can be used with a high degree of efficiency.

Also, special vibro.fuel modes can be used, which are designed for the final tamping after laying.

The choice of tiles and the necessary tools

The thickness of the vibroly cement-sand tile depends on the purpose of the coating:

In private households, both types of tiles are placed on a sand base, except when the soil on the site to a significant depth is mobile. Then you have to cast a base of concrete. So that the coating does not look monotonous, in addition to the usual gray, acquire a certain amount of colored tiles.

It is quite evenly distributed by the site in a checkerboard pattern and it will look completely different. It is important to immediately purchase tiles for the entire site. It is noted that even one manufacturer has tiles from different parties differs in size. The difference is insignificant. within 2 mm, but gradually accumulating, it leads to a noticeable shift of the seam at the end of the row.

Provide for a supply of up to 5%. in case of damage to the material by negligence. The sizes of the modules are selected so that a whole number of. There is nothing wrong with the fact that the tile will have to be cut, it is relatively easy to process. But still, only whole modules should be used for aesthetic reasons.

• bayonet and soviet shovels;
• rule;
• Trom bus or vibration plate;
• level. The sizes of landscape design objects are large, because the bubble level is not suitable. Use water or laser. For an amateur, the first is preferable as simpler in operation;
• kiyanka with a rubberized surface;
• pegs and a skeleton of the bech or a nylon cord. for marking;
• roulette;
• concrete mixer or trough-for the preparation of cement-sand mixture and solution.

The source of water and means for its delivery. a hose or a watering can also need.

Safety precautions during work

Performing work by tamping soils with vibration plate, involves compliance with safety regulations. Basic safety regulations when working with a vibration plate:

• During the work, personal protective equipment should be dressed. clothes and shoes, protective glasses, headdress.
• Prior to the start of work, check it for external damage. the detected malfunctions must be immediately eliminated.
• When the mechanism is launched, it is strictly forbidden to leave it unattended, the vibro operator must choose a safe position and be behind the mechanism.
• It is important to observe the mode of work and rest, every 40 minutes of work do a ten.minute break to prevent overwork.
• It is forbidden to take any actions that accelerate the operation of the mechanism.
• In cases where it is supposed to work on an inclined surface, the operator must take a position above the unit and move down from top to bottom.
• Do not use the unit next to explosive materials and those that are easily ignited.
• If there is a freelance situation and the stove has overturned, you need to immediately turn it off, and then return to the working position.
• The U.turn of the unit must be carried out with one hand, and in order to prevent injuries, the limbs must be placed so that they are at a distance from the base of the stove.
• When hitting an obstacle, the unit must be stopped immediately, and again launched it into the work after eliminating the obstacle and possible breakdowns.
• In the process, it is necessary to conduct the unit so that it does not approach ravines or pits.
• It is necessary to remove from working with the unit of employees under the influence of alcohol, drugs or psychotropic substances.
• Remember that the higher location of the center of gravity of the unit and less the area of ​​the support, the greater the likelihood of overturning it.

Cipping the mechanism is fraught with serious injuries for the operator. In addition, you need to very carefully include the unit in the work, since it is not equipped with a smooth start mechanism.

Components and accessories

Vibromekhanism for soil trim is used in intensive execution of a large volume of work. Therefore, such a technique requires permanent maintenance, and in some cases repair. As consumables, stretch belts, clutch, shock absorbers, polyurethane rug, cables are used as consumables. Water tanks or vibrating are much less commonly replaced, vibrator or the entire vibration block assembly. The engine requires special attention. it is necessary to replace oil, air filter, candles in a timely manner.

At this important stage of laying paving slabs it is assumed that all tools are available and materials were prepared, the list of which was indicated above.

If you need pruning of paving blocks, then you can use an angular grinder with a disk for cutting tiles. It is also recommended to purchase knees that will protect the knees, because you will have to work with emphasis on them and on them.

Which tamping use?

For tamping paving slabs, you use manual tamping, vibrors, vibration plate. Also in rare cases, when it comes to an industrial scale and large volumes of work, they can trim with the help of tamber rinks. Manual tamping is used in small areas and with a layer thickness, which may well succumb to manual effects. Usually, these are paths in the country or areas where a small load is planned with a small layer. Working with such a tamping helps to get to hard.to.reach places and places where it is undesirable strong pressure. Manual tamping is a heavy flat base (plate) with a attached pipe, stick.

The layout of the installation site is to determine the contour of the future site or track. The marking place is indicated by pegs inserted into the ground, between which a cord or a nylon thread is pulled. Since the cord performs the function of the guideline to lay out the tile, it is stretched strictly in level. When marking it is necessary to fulfill the following condition:

Preparation of the site for construction work

First of all, the site is broken, which will be paved: the pegs are driven and the so.called red marks are exhibited. With this term, builders indicate a tightly stretched thread that outlines the boundaries of the future height of your site. Take an ordinary twine, tie it to the pegs at the height where the tile will end. Do not forget to make a slope of the thread of 5 degrees to the place of future water receiver.

Even when laying narrow paths, red marks are still exhibited to get an even edge, an ideal horizontal and the correct angle of inclination for drainage of water

Then check how many centimeters of free space from thread to the ground. If less than thirty, they remove all the excess with a shovel and taken to the car away so that it does not interfere. Fertile soil can be poured directly into the garden or to the places where flower beds are planned.

The edge of the finished earthen “trough” should be immediately strengthened with borders. Some masters of the borders are put after pouring concrete, but in this case it will be necessary to protect the edge of the site from the soil showing, t.e. Put the formwork. Therefore, for inexperienced bridges, the first option is preferable.

If you immediately install the curbs, you don’t have to waste time creating a formwork, and then it is dismantling, and the concrete will fill the site without cracks

If a border is used, the height of which is 50 cm, then:

• Bake a trench for another 30 cm deep;
• fall asleep with a layer of crushed stone (about 10 cm);
• put a cement solution (at least 1.5 cm);
• A curb is placed on it so that the upper edge after laying is 2-3 cm lower than the edge of the paving stones. This is necessary so that the curb does not delay water on the site, but helps its rescue.

At a lower height of the cut, the depth of the trench is respectively reduced.

The height of the border should be slightly lower than the surface of the paving stones to provide the precipitation of a quick runoff from the site and not let moisture stagnate

Expert advice

In any business, any features are always clarified in the process. If the work on laying the tile coating is performed independently for the first time, then not to redo the finished styling, it is best to consult in advance with the masters of this particular type of work.

• It is impossible to lay tiles during the rain or after it until the earth dries.
• The borders are installed only after the acquisition of the tiles, otherwise when installing, will have to cut the tile all the time, which will tightly tighten the construction time and increase the cost of work.
• It is impossible to install vibropressed tiles on a cement-sand mixture. In this case, the presence of cement will cause salt spots on the surface of the tile. This is especially noticeable on colored tiles. This ban applies to seaming seams with a mixture containing cement.
• When purchasing tiles, it is necessary to make a 7-10% stock for replacing low-quality or broken.
• To determine the strength and quality of the tile, it is worth hitting two pieces against each other. The sound should be talked enough.
• It should be understood that quality material cannot be very cheap.

We start mounting work before laying

Starting to the object and doing all the calculated work, we are primarily performing the division of the territory. We determine according to the design plan or plan agreed with the customer, which sectors will be divided into, which areas need to be allocated in a high.rise plan. that is: sites for arbors, barbecue, ramps or parapeters, slopes, grooves and water discharge points. I will say from my own experience that if the work is carried out in the territory of the private residential sector, then all the slopes are equipped at the maximum distance from the buildings, that is, after the work performed, it should visually seem that the buildings are above the paving or roadway of the site. This is done in order to take moisture from buildings as much as possible.

We prepare the base

All work begins with the preparation of the base. On the site where work will be carried out, the upper layer of soil is removed to remove the root system of plants (not more than 40 cm) to the maximum and delve into the depth we need to fill the base for the tile. It must be understood that all the slopes on the site must begin to be done when aligning the subgrade. Then the poured layers will lie with a uniform layer, creating and adjusting the slope we need. If you bridge a section of a small area and you have enough strength to remove the soil layer necessary in thickness, you can do this with a pick and shovel. Having removed the soil, clean the bottom of the trough to remove tubercles and bumps. After that, you need to thoroughly hide the subgrade with the help of tamping, or vibro.plate. Without these tools, it is impossible to efficiently compact the surface of the earthen trough. Laying underlying layers and tiles on non.compacted soil will lead to subsidence of individual sections of the coating.

To find out at what depth we need to remove the soil, we need to score stakes around the perimeter of the site. If the site is large or has hidden areas, then you need to divide one large site into several small ones. visible. On these stakes with the help of a hydraulic level, we beat off the “horizon” (how to do it correctly, I wrote in the article “Armopoyas device for the attic roof”). When we have horizontal marks, we decide with the slopes of the area. The slope is necessary so that atmospheric precipitation does not accumulate in one place, but are allocated away from buildings and pedestrian zones. The most optimal slope is a “road slope”.

The road slope is a slope that is used in the construction of the canvas of the carriageway, and is 1meter = 1 SC. That is, the deviation from the horizon on one meter is one centimeter.

Example: If the length of the area is 10 meters, then at the beginning and at the end of the area we score the peg. We celebrate horizontal marks with the help of a hydraulicarian, and where we need (at the beginning or at the end) to lower the area, we mark 10 cm on this peg down. from horizontal mark.

When with slopes and breakdown it is over, you can start installing borders. To do this, in the places where the curbs will be installed, score the guide stakes and put the high.rise mark on them, pull the fishing line for the trimmer or the lace. It will be a high.altitude lighthouse.

It should be noted that if the area of ​​the tile is laid with a slope, then the borders should be installed with the same degree of slope.

From the altitude mark, we mark the height of our border, plus 10cm on the spray and concrete on which the curb will be installed and, if necessary, remove excess soil. Next, prepare the base, trim the bottom, wake up with gravel, a layer of 5cm, and again we will trample. Cooking concrete. Concrete should be thick, prepared in a proportion of 1/3. One portion of cement and three portions of sand and crushed stone. Evenly, with a shovel, on the top of the rubble crushed stone, we apply concrete over the entire length of the border, an approximate layer 6.7 cm. and install the curb so that the top of the border is on the fishing line, on touch.

So, when all the borders are installed and the concrete began to grasp, we proceed to the installation of gutters. In principle, the technology for installing gutters is almost the same as installing borders. We coordinate the place where the water drain will be, we take it as the lowest point and with the help of pegs and the hydraulic level we make markings for the installation of gutters. It should be remembered that the top of our gutter is already the top of the future tile. The gutter must be very carefully put under the fishing line for the trimmer, since the slightest failure in the places of connection of the elements will entail the inhibition of the drain of water and subsequently. the intention of ice and the destruction of the concrete elements of our site. Porcelain gutter should be connected to the pipes of the casting system of buildings on the site, since during the rain or other precipitation of the roof of buildings they have a large area of ​​water intake, and, flowing water from the roof, will be washed first tile seams, and in the autumn. the spring period of freezing. the stage of freezing. Maintenance will destroy concrete elements. For safety purposes, the meter gutter should be covered with a special grill that comes with the purchase of gutters.

Rolling geotextiles under paving slabs

The next stage of our work is the rolling of geotextiles. Geotextiles are rolled material. How material it appeared recently in the market, but has very useful functions. With the help of geotextiles, we prevent the appearance of weeds, which with their roots destroy the design of the base under the tiles, exclude the washing of sand, protect from ant nrokens and other beetles and insects. As well as geotextiles is drainage material in our design.

It rolls very simply, right on the soil surface. where the tiles will be laid, with an overlap on the previous piece of 15cm, and with small vertical lapels. As a rule, 10. 15cm. Immediately sleep with a small layer of sand.

The device is sandy. crushed stone base for paving slabs

For a rolling geotextile using a wheelbarrow and shovels, we scatter sand. The thickness of the layer is 4-6cm. Trump it using manual tamping or vibration placers. Large areas are better, of course, to trim with a vibration plate since it not only trim, but also smooths the surface of the area. You need to trim so that one place is 5 beats or passages of vibration placers.

Creation of a “pillow” of sand or crushed stone

The pillow is built in the following sequence:

• pour a layer of sand with a thickness of at least 15 cm. If the foundation pit turned out deeper than 50 cm, the sand is poured with such a layer that 30 cm remains from its top to the ground. Plus the thickness of the tile. Sand is needed clean, without clay content. Pouring 5-7 cm thick with a layer, it is leveled with a rake, then pressed is pressed with a tamping or vibrating plate. After well watered and tamped again;
• then pour the next layer on a thickness of 5-7 cm and do the same. The top of the sand pillow should be perfectly even. You can form it with a rule according to lighthouses set in level;
• Lay on a compacted sand of the plate of extruded polystyrene foam (EPPS) 50 mm thick. The usual granular polystyrene foam, which often has to face in everyday life, is not suitable. under load it is deformed. EPPS withstands without significant deformations up to 50 t/ m2. Being an effective heat insulator, this layer significantly reduces the depth of freezing of the soil. So, the coating will not be twisted by frosty heaving forces. It is extremely important to make sure that the sheets of foam are stable, and this is possible only with an even sandy base. If when walking on sheets it is found that they play somewhere, sand is added here or, on the contrary, remove its surpluses.
• EPPS is covered with geotextiles. This is necessary so that the plates are not damaged and not extended by gravel laid on top;
• Pour a layer of crushed stone of the fraction of 5×20 or 20×40 mm 10 cm thick, pressed with a tamping or vibrating plate;
• geotextiles are put on again;
• fall asleep a layer of sand with a thickness of 15 cm. The procedure for action is the same: they are tamped with layers of 5-7 cm with moisture. The layers are leveled with rakes before the tamping, they are especially flat to make the surface of the pillow.

At this stage, a slope is formed for water drainage. A slope of 1 cm per 1 m length is considered standard, but practice has shown that water goes well with a slope of 0.7 cm per 1 m length. Lighthouses are installed under the desired slope, for example, PVC or Channel pipes, then along them, like on rails, they move the rule, leveling the sand. Next, the sand is watered and trim, then the beacons are removed and the sand remaining after them is filled with sand.

Device and principle of action

The bulk of the vibration plate consists of a heavy platform with an eccentric installed on it, which is spinning due to the motor. There are motors: diesel, gasoline, electric. In the presence of the last (electric), the eccentric is built.in, it can be adjusted. If the equipment has a fuel engine, the eccentric goes separately and is connected to the structure of the belt transmission.

A popular of three types is a gasoline vibration ground, as it does not require constant nutrition. The electric version is cheaper, but it cannot work autonomously. During the operation of the electrical vibration plate, you often have to moisten the soil with water, which can adversely affect the performance of the technique.

The main indicators of the vibration plate are mass and area. The engine power directly depends on these characteristics, as well as how tightly and deeply the material will be pressed. The force with which the mechanism presses on the soil is determined by the coefficient of vibrational effort. Huge and powerful vibro.floodplains can compact the soil deeper than 90 cm.

The vibration plate can move with vibration. Here an important point is the ratio of the power of the motor and the weight of the unit itself. Consider this when assembling vibro.plate with your own hands. Remember that a normal ratio of 5 liters. With. (approximately 3.5 kW) per 100 kg of vibration ground.

You can change the direction of the unit movement, in the presence of a reverse rotation function, it must be on devices whose weight exceeds 100 kg. If you do not have heavy equipment, then you can expand it by hand.

Types and characteristics

Electric

The advantage is environmental friendliness and cheapness of operation. In addition, these mechanisms are easier. there is no fuel tank. Flaws:

Gasoline

Autonomous devices that can be used in any conditions. Engine power. up to 7 kW. Thanks to this unit, methods of trim soil up to 60 cm thick or more. Another plus is the possibility of reverse (reverse) move. For narrow areas, this is important. there is no need to maneuver with a heavy vibration plate.

Cons. non.ecologicality, great weight and noise. Heavyweight is a conditional disadvantage, since a solid mass of the apparatus is needed for better tamping. If the task requires serious pressure on the soil, the weight of the plate turns into plus.

Diesel

The most powerful devices. the motor is able to issue up to 8 kW, and the sole can trim the soil up to a meter deep. For this you have to pay with comfort. the devices weighing up to half.ton is inconvenient to transport. In addition, they are not as maneuverable as lighter slabs. For experts in lining the paving slabs “diesel” can only be useful if there is a large amount of work and unsteady soil, which should be thoroughly compacted. Usually, the layers have enough electric and gasoline mechanisms.

Classification by weight of the device and soil depths

• heavy. more than 150 kg; Suitable for tamping soil up to a meter thick;
• medium weight devices-90-150 kg; It is recommended to use for soil compaction up to 60 cm deep;
• standard (universal)-75-90 kg; The maximum thickness of the backfill layer is 25 cm;
• lungs. up to 75 kg; used to prepare the base up to 15 cm deep.

Vibration effort

Vibration power is measured in KH. The maximum effort of modern vibro.plate is 30 kH. Such a load is necessary to compile thick backfill. For paving tiles, devices are usually used to tamp soil that create an effort of 15-20 kH. There is a lot of this effort to process the stacked tiles. the “sidewalk” may crack. Therefore, devices issuing more than 10 KH are not needed for the final stage of work. Exception. large, thick and durable tiles. Considering that the unit is used at two main stages. preparing the site and setting tiles, the best option will be an electric or gasoline universal vibro.plate.

The size and material of the working sole

With an increase in the area of ​​the sole, the load on the base decreases, but the coverage of the tiles increases. The choice of dimensions depends on the tasks. it is more convenient and faster to work with a large sole, on narrow paths it will be more comfortable with a small stove. Elements are made of steel and cast iron. Steel is lighter, therefore, the load with equal area of ​​the working stove is less. But the cast iron is more fragile. Special protective nozzles are not required for the soil of soil. A rubber rug does not hurt to compact tiles. In addition, it extinguishes vibration, which is transmitted to the handle. it is more convenient to work.

For craftsmen, who decided to independently clad the adjacent territory, the acquisition of vibration placers is unprofitable. Rent is also not a very good option, since transportation is extra temporary and cash costs. Another requirement is the need to qualify. Despite the simplicity of use, with the mechanism you need to be able to control. Otherwise, the quality of the base will leave much to be desired. the coating will not last long.

To save yourself from headache, call for the help of specialists. They will do it quickly and efficiently. We are engaged in laying paving slabs in Krasnodar and the region of 16 years. We will advise, make preparation and facing. of course, not without the help of a vibration plate.

All of the presented photos and videos are made by us. If desired, everything can be seen on the object. Respectfully Maxim Bondarchuk.
