Where are granite screenings used?

Granite sifts have been used for many years in construction work. In recent years, the popularity of this material has become even greater: granite sifting, or granite crumb, is used in the manufacture of paving slabs, curbs, small architectural forms, liquid floors. Granite sifts are used to decorate paths in gardens, parks, squares on private plots. Such tracks even in rainy weather look well-groomed, there are no puddles and dirt on them. Also, this material is needed to create a coating on the playgrounds and sports grounds, it can often be seen in the yards and on the streets as an anti-ice cream. The sprinkling of fine granite helps to avoid sliding on roads and sidewalks, improving the situation on the roads and reducing injuries. The use of granite as an anti-ice food does not harm the environment, clothing and footwear of residents, does not contribute to the corrosive processes of cars, which is observed when using chemical reagents. In addition, this material can be used several times: after the snow falls and the sidewalks and roads dry up, it can be gently swept off, collected for reuse.

Often this material is used in park management and in landscape planning. Granite sifts are of two colors: gray and pink (red). This material is resistant to abrasion and has a high resistance to aggressive media. It is almost not affected by natural and climatic factors: the granite is not afraid of rain, drought, heat or frost. If we add to this an attractive appearance that does not change with time, it becomes clear why the granite screenings are so popular. For the tracks use a small fraction: the tracks and the fate, covered with small gravel, look attractive at any time of the year.

Often in the process of operation, there is a need to bring the territory in order. In the case of using granite screening, it takes a minimum of time and requires a small amount of money: just a portion of the track that requires restoration, a few dropouts are sprinkled and leveled. The repair work is finished, the exterior has been restored.

Granite screenings are obtained by crushing large pieces of rock and their subsequent sorting and selection, depending on the fraction. Granite screening grains can have sizes from 0 to 10 mm. The highest standard is the fraction of 0-5 mm. Small pieces of rock have more Attractive look, look like a uniform coating and do not cause inconvenience when walking, which is the main disadvantage of gravel of large fractions.

It is absolutely clean from an ecological point of view material, which is 100% natural in origin. The only drawback that can be attributed to this material, its considerable cost. Granite screenings (the price per ton varies from $ 8 to $ 28) is shipped in bulk and in bags of different sizes. The price depends on the faction and the presence of dust (dust-free material costs more). In addition, the price affects the delivery method and the distance to the final destination.
