Granite screenings - design and building materials

Granite as a building and design material has been used for a long time. It is distinguished by its high strength and beauty. In places of its occurrence it is in the form of a solid monolithic rock. Therefore, during the extraction of granite, blasting is performed. And this leads to the formation of waste in the form of rubble, which, incidentally, is widely used in the construction of roads. And after its crushing remains small crumb, or screening granite, whose price is much lower than the raw materials. But, nevertheless, on qualitative characteristics it does not concede rubble. Therefore, it is also widely used in various fields. Moreover, some companies specially produce granite screenings, in bags and dump trucks it is supplied to consumers who are literally standing in line for this material.

And first of all this crumb is used in construction. This is mainly used the smallest screening size of 1-3 millimeters, which, in fact, is granite sand of different colors. But it does not contain impurities and does not pass water, so it is used for various construction works. And now the construction sites supply granite screenings of pink, red, gray and gray-pink flowers. At the same time, it is identical in properties, and variants of colors are used for decorative purposes.

Also granite screening of the smallest fraction is used in the industrial production of materials intended for wall finishing, rigid and flexible tile, roofing material, reinforced concrete products. It is this faction that is used in enterprises that manufacture curbs, paving slabs of various shapes and shapes, and decorative finishing materials. A granite screening caliber of 3-5 millimeters serves as a filler in the production of concrete solutions. There is also a third fraction of such a crumb in the size of 5-10 millimeters. It is also suitable for the production of concrete, it is sprinkled with roadside roads, and during construction works such screening serves as a decorative and finishing element.

Also, recently, following the foreign experience, it was used as a remedy for ice. Now the population and communal services sprinkle their yards and pedestrian zones. And as a reagent, it does not harm the health, it is safe from the ecological point of view and effectively affects the ice. In addition, granite screenings are a reusable product in this case, because after the arrival of the spring, screenings can be collected and stored until the next winter. And do not even have to be an economist to understand how profitable will be its use as a reagent from ice. At the same time, he will not suffer from shoes and people's clothing.

More granite screenings have become an indispensable part of landscape design. This crumb is an excellent element for decorating flower beds, garden paths and local areas. Using granite screenings, you can realize the most unexpected design ideas. They sprinkle pedestrian paths and playgrounds. It serves for panoramic design of garden plots and parks. Also granite chips can be used as an alternative to a flower bed or lawn. And the main advantage of granite screening is that it is much cheaper than granite rubble. It also has such qualities as environmental friendliness, high strength and water resistance.
