How much stone do I need?
How much stone do I need for the ground?
For pebble and gravel:
• approximately 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For particle sizes >32mm, a thicker layer is required.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Coverage: approximately 12.5m² with a 5 cm layer.
For pine bark:
• approximately 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000L = approximately 1m³ = approximately 600kg
• Coverage: approximately 14m² with a 5 cm layer.
For volcanic, slate and chamotte:
• approximately 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = approximately 1m³
• Coverage: approximately 20m² with a 5 cm layer
How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?
Density of approximately 1,650kg per 1m³.
The calculation is very easy to understand with an example: if you have a gabion of 100x50x30 cm, you must do the following calculations:
1x0.5x0.3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg of stone.
*It is always a good idea to calculate an extra 5%, since when gabions are filled they expand a little and a little more stone always fits than in the theoretical calculations.
Clarifications
ATTENTION!
The grain sizes of GRAVELS AND pebbles are sieve sizes
The actual sizes may vary slightly, since when talking about, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through an 80x80mm square mesh and do not pass through a 60x60mm one.
Through that 80x80 mesh, a stone 100mm long and 65mm wide can pass, so there may be a percentage of stones larger than 80 and smaller than 60mm.
Breakage of pebbles
On the other hand, in pebbles larger than 60mm, there is a percentage of up to 10% of stones that can break during sorting, washing, loading and unloading; to this day we do not have machinery that prevents such breakages.
In the photos you can see, only real products are shown; broken pieces have not been removed.
Dust and sand in the products
This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; the stone will wash itself over time or you can pour water on it before using it.
Chemical Bush Hammering Vetonek: Curing Oil for Exposed Aggregate Concrete Pavements
The Chemical Bush Hammering by Vetonek is the ideal solution for creating exposed aggregate concrete pavements easily and professionally. This low viscosity oil, formulated with lubricating and anti-adhesive additives, allows you to achieve an aesthetic and durable finish without the effort and time required by the traditional method.
What makes it so special? The application is incredibly easy: you only need a sprayer to spray a thin layer over the fresh concrete. Once the concrete has set, simply remove the surface layer with pressure water or a brush to reveal the aggregate and achieve a perfect finish.
Main Advantages
-
Time and labor savings: Simplifies the process of creating exposed aggregate pavements, reducing manual work.
-
Easy and quick application: Its low viscosity allows for effortless even distribution.
-
No residues left: The formula is completely removed, ensuring a clean finish.
-
Does not affect concrete strength: Maintains the mechanical properties of the material, ensuring its durability.
Instructions for Use
To use the Chemical Bush Hammering, follow these simple steps:
-
Once the fresh concrete is leveled and smoothed, apply the product evenly with a sprayer. Avoid puddling or oversaturation.
-
Allow the concrete to set completely.
-
Remove the surface layer with a jet of pressure water or a brush to reveal the exposed aggregate finish.
