As you drive or walk along cabro paving grounds, you undoubtedly get amazed at the exquisite beauty displayed by those magnificent bricks/blocks. In Kenya, concrete cabro pavings are becoming very famous for pavement surfacing, especially when people notice how long-lasting and beautiful they are.

The Standard Procedure for Laying Concrete Cabros

  1. Preparation for the Cabro Installation Process

Any other proper idea should start with preparation before the construction process, and cabro installation is not an exception. There are several factors to consider before installing cabros, including determining the cost of cabro blocks. At SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONSLIMITED, for instance, the non-colored cabros cost ksh. 1,050 per square meter, whereas the colored blocks cost ksh 1500 per square meter. For the installation process, you may need a trusted expert and a professional like SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED to help you fix cabros or the cobblestones.

  1. Excavation of the Ground Where Cabro is to Be Installed

After proper calculation, start the process by preparing that location. This kind of preparation may require first clearing the ground where you need the cabros to be installed. If the area is grassy, you probably will start by clearing bushes around the area. If the site is rocky, remove the rocks to prevent them from breaking the cabros once installed. Dig off every unwanted material that could interfere with the construction process and dispose of the spoil left. Since the installation materials are meant to be permanent, you may want to establish the site in a place where there would not be any future construction taking place.

  1. Prepare a Sub-base for Cabro Fitting

In engineering terms, a sub-base is the layer of aggregate material laid on the subgrade, on which the base course layer is located. So after the excavation process, a sub-base is placed on a flat surface. At SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONSLIMITED we make sure the area is leveled first before laying the sub-base. Then cover them with stone dust or grit sand if there are any voids. The base should be approximately 100mm thick to serve its purpose of spreading the load evenly over the sub-grade. Materials used for sub-base may include unbound granular, crushed stones, slug, concrete, or slate. This process is necessary, especially for pathways used by vehicles.

  1. Establish Edge Courses and Curbs for Cabro

Curbs are those boundaries constructed of cut stone or cement concrete slabs to act as barriers across the cabros. These curbs/kerbs are constructed 100mm above the road surface. The relevance of curbs includes preventing vehicles from parking beside the road, acting as a boundary wall between the footpath and pavement, providing support to the pavement, helping to combat accidents and are also used for drainage purposes among others. After precisely placing the curbs, we use enough material to lay the barriers first before fixing the cabros. This is important as it will help the installation expert specifically know where they need to cut the cabro edges for uniformity.

  1. Identify a Proper Concrete Cabro Laying Course

A laying course is the final layer of aggregates installed directly over the sub-base. These paving units will help cover the aggregated surface, and since this final layer has a more delicate texture than the latter, it will ensure that the finished surface is smooth and even. The laying course bed should be between 20-50mm thick and nothing more. You can have the best concrete cabro installation when you follow the correct procedure. The tight process should include spreading/ leveling the compact laying course with sand and screed. Create a smooth surface to lay the bricks.

  1. Include Block Laying for Cabro Durability

Block laying is not as tough as the previous processes of laying the foundation since this one is the final part of fixing the cabro blocks/ After deciding on the color and material of the cabro, the installation expert, SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED will then start the fixing process. To make work more accessible, have the blocks moved close to the work area because fixing may be just as fast. Establish the corners first before starting.

  1. Find an Expert like, SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED, Who Has Skills in Cabro Alignment and Compliance

The alignment process is crucial since this is the final part that will give the cabros a desirable look.

  1. Establish a Proper Cutting-in of the Cabro for Fitting

This process is meant for the edges which alternate the curbs.

  1. Cabros Must Acquire Correct Jointing and Compaction

This one is referred to as the final process in cabro installation. This process is done by reinforcing in-situ concrete slab over a thin granular base course. This allows expansion, contraction, and warping for a durable block. This will also help in the gapping process between the slabs for the easy joining of the blocks. Others may prefer to use hands, while the cautious ones may want to use the jointing tools.

  1. Successful Completion Process

Excess jointing sand is always left on the surface for the first few weeks or even topped up during the completion process.
