Starting to ennoble garden plot or the area around the house, we must not forget about the paths. Only they can give your site a finished and aesthetic look. If you decide to create paths from paving slabs, then you can do it yourself. You don't have to be an expert to handle this case. Having learned all the nuances of the work, such as how and what the tile is made of, how to lubricate the form for paving slabs and how to lay it, you can confidently get to work.
Choosing the shape of a tile is also an important matter, they are divided into several main types: rectangular, arbitrary, universal, model, castle and ecological form.
Features: fabrication and application
Paving stones are made of concrete, which, in turn, consists of cement, sand and water, mixed in the required proportions. Everything is taken into account here, from the brand of cement to the purpose and scope of paving slabs.
How much pressure should it withstand and the like. Most often, cement is used either 1:3 or 1:4, for example, if cement is grade M 500 (which is considered one of the best), then the proportion will be 1:4.
Paving stones are made of concrete, which, in turn, consists of cement, sand and water, mixed in the required proportions.
Choosing the shape of the tiles is also an important matter, they are divided into several main types:
- rectangular;
- arbitrary;
- universal;
- model;
- castle;
- and ecological form.
Tiles are also divided according to the method of production, among them there are two main ones - cast and pressed.
For the manufacture of pressed tiles, special equipment and large investments are required, that is, it is very difficult to do this at home.
Such tiles are used for paving large areas and roads, they are able to withstand very high pressure, due to the fact that during the manufacture of concrete is constantly subjected to blows of a special hammer.

Available application options
This method is available to everyone and makes it possible to create a plate of exactly the shape and size that we need. In order to create it, you need concrete.
When making it, you can use the "clumsy" method, mixing with a shovel in the trough. But this is a very laborious process that takes a lot of time. It is better to use a concrete mixer, which you can buy, rent or borrow. Do not forget to add a plasticizer to the mixture, if it is dry, then it must be dissolved in water.
And to get tiles of various colors, they add to concrete acrylic paints, so you can create tiles not only in any shape, but also in any color. Paint must be mixed with sand before adding it to the mixture.
To obtain tiles of various colors, acrylic paints are added to concrete, so you can create tiles not only of any shape, but also of any color.
- In addition to concrete, you will also need molds that can be purchased at specialized stores, the most convenient are molds made of rubber and polymer. But you can also make them yourself.
For example, make frames from hewn wooden blocks. In this case, the shape will depend solely on your imagination and skillful hands. However, to create a drawing, you still have to go to the store to purchase a stencil to your liking. The stencil is applied to the concrete as soon as it is poured into the mold and removed after a few minutes.

What does the lubrication process mean?
But before you pour concrete into the finished form, you need to lubricate it. The choice of lubricant is large enough so that you can choose exactly what is right for you. These can be petroleum oil concentrates, emulsions, soap and powder solutions and other lubricants used in the manufacture of paving slabs.
A good lubricant should not change the color of the cast tile and does not affect the shape in any way. By the way, if you plan to create a very small number of tiles, you can ask for it at the service station, and they will give it to you completely free of charge or for a symbolic price.
One of the most popular and frequently used is KSF-1 lubricant. Its advantages are low consumption, ease of application, by any means at hand, and in the end, everything results in a very reasonable price.
Krystal oils are very often used to lubricate the mold for the paving system, or rather they make an emulsion based on them, it is applied using the spraying method.
Lubricant Nometal, great if you use metal carcass. It will protect it from corrosion.
Each lubricant, in addition to individual properties (if any), must perform certain functions:
One of the most popular and frequently used is KSF-1 lubricant. Its advantages are low consumption and ease of application.
- With its help, paving slabs are easily removed from the mold.
- Due to the lubrication, pores do not appear on the front of the tile.
- Appearance, should only improve, but not have changes in the form of color.
Only when these goals are achieved, the use of lubricant is considered appropriate, otherwise its use is pointless and not worth the material costs and lost time.
not bad economical option for lubrication is a well-known Agate series, this tool has long established itself on the positive side.
It is used absolutely for all types of formwork, and one liter is enough for 35 sq.m. surfaces.
The release concentrate is also used for lubricating molds, usually for metal and polymer molds. Most often it is used when creating large plates. When applying it, know that it is water-repellent and does not react to temperature.
Do not forget that lubricants are perfectly soluble in water, which allows you to get about ten liters of ready-made mold processing agent from one kilogram of concentrate.
You also don’t need to have special skills for breeding, just add the concentrate to water and mix for about 5 minutes.
- No special clothing is required when lubricating the tiles. Ordinary work clothes are quite suitable, since lubricants do not have any harmful effects and contraindications, and are in complete harmony with the environment.
Lubrication of the form will not only make it easier for you to release the tile from the form, but will save you from washing the form itself later.
In order for the tile to turn out perfectly even and the laying process to be quite simple, before lubrication, the form must be cleaned of dirt, debris and small parts.
This is done with a 10% hydrochloric acid solution.
By the way, you can find a replacement for the lubricant, for example, use an antistatic agent instead. But if you are using a lubricant, which is actually preferable to antistatic, then remember to apply it in a thin layer.
First, be sure to clean the mold from dirt, debris and small parts that can get there, even with the help of wind. Only on a thoroughly cleaned form can one begin to lubricate the prepared mixture or pollinate it. It is better to do this with gloves, just so as not to get your hands dirty.
And of course, if you are not lubricating, but pollinating, then it is better to wear a respiratory mask. If a brush is used to apply the lubricant, then make sure that the hairs from it do not remain inside the mold.
Any, even the smallest detail will be imprinted on the surface of the tile, which, of course, will spoil its appearance and your mood. In general, the use of lubrication will make your work easier and improve significantly.
Lubrication for paving slab molds plays an important role in the production of tile products. Certainly, concrete mortar, dyes, plasticizers and right technology directly determine the quality of future tiled products. Good lubrication promotes easy removal of products from molds and preservation (or even improvement) of their appearance. Moreover, it prevents the appearance of pores on front side paving slabs and paving stones.
For quality styling tiles, it is necessary to carefully prepare the molds for its manufacture.
Before pouring concrete into molds, they must be thoroughly cleaned and lubricated. By the way, they are made from various materials and there are metal, plastic, polyurethane, wooden (formwork).
High-quality lubricant does not affect the shape, does not change the color of the cast tile and does not act on it in a destructive way.
Its choice is quite diverse: all kinds of emulsions, powder and soap solutions, mineral oil concentrates, etc.
Variety of mold release agents
For the production of a small volume of tiled coatings, you can contact the nearest service station and for a symbolic price or purchase lubricant for free. For large volumes of tiles and pavers, special domestic and foreign lubricants are used. We list the most popular and frequently used in the manufacture of paving slabs and paving stones:
At home, you can make a lubricant based on motor oil.
- KSF-1. Produced in the form of a homogeneous paste, it is characterized by low consumption, ease of application, provides an even, smooth surface and does not leave stains on it. The lubricant is non-toxic, dissolves well in cold and warm water. It is used in the form of an emulsol - a 9-10% aqueous solution. You can lubricate the forms with any improvised means. Used for plastic, metal molds and formwork.
- Kristal, based on light mineral oils, is an environmentally friendly product, has excellent anti-corrosion properties, is used for metal and wooden forms. Apply with a brush or sprayer.
- Nometal also protects metal molds from corrosion, cracks and pores.
- Agate, used for all forms, a very economical lubricant that allows 1 liter to process 35 square meters. m. surface, has many positive reviews.
- Tiprom 90 silicone-based anti-adhesion concentrate with water-repellent properties is usually used for the production of large plates in metal and polymer forms. Doesn't respond to temperature.
- Emulsol, made on a mineral basis, is often used in construction to lubricate formwork. Consists of biodegradable substances. It is applied with a sponge or spray, is quite affordable and is very suitable for the manufacture of paving slabs, without requiring subsequent grouting or finishing.
Many lubricants are available as concentrates. Concentrates differ in that more of the finished product can be obtained from them. To do this, they are added to water and stirred for 5 minutes.
How lubricant is applied and is it possible to save on it
For easy extraction of paving stones, the form must be lubricated.
Grease is applied in a thin layer to each mold with a brush or spray, depending on the chosen lubrication. Before applying, as already mentioned, you need to carefully clean the molds from debris and dirt. Lubricate them immediately before pouring concrete. No special clothing is required to apply the lubricant. It is enough to wear gloves that protect your hands from contamination. If the spray method is chosen, it is best to wear a respirator.
When applying with a brush, care must be taken to ensure that all corners are processed and the bristles do not remain in shape. Any little thing can spoil the appearance of the tile.
It should be noted that lubrication not only improves the process of extracting tiles, but also significantly extends the life of the forms, reducing the load on them.
And now we give a recipe for a simple and cheap do-it-yourself lubricant. We take 50 g of engine oil and dilute it in 1.5 liters of water. We shake. It takes a long time to do this. We test on the product. You can experiment with proportions. An oily lubricant can create sinks in the tile or oil stains on the surface, and a weak lubricant will impair the extraction process.
Some tilers use brine to rinse molds. Hydrochloric acid is diluted with water, and forms are lowered into a 7-10% solution. Then they don't smudge.
Some people use soapy water. It is prepared from ordinary soap or dishwashing liquid. Naturally, the savings are obvious, and slipping tiles out of the molds will also please, but they remain very dirty after it.
Summing up, we once again designate the three main functions of a release agent:
- facilitating the removal of products:
- reduction of labor costs for cleaning molds and formwork;
- preservation of the quality of products, their appearance due to the fact that the concrete does not stick to the form and the tiles do not have to be “teared off”.
By saving on lubrication, you can lose much more on culling. Even when producing tiles for their own use, everyone wants them to be beautiful, strong and durable.
Before the concrete mortar is poured into the mold for the manufacture of paving slabs, it must be properly lubricated. When wondering how you can lubricate the form for paving slabs, it should be noted that there are plenty of options:
- concentrates based on petroleum oils;
- emulsions;
- powder and soap solutions;
- other lubricants.
The main condition is that the lubricant should not affect the final product in any way: neither on the shape, nor on the color, and even more so not on specifications products. It is also very important that the lubricant allows the paving slab to be easily removed from the mold.
Types of lubricants for molds for paving slabs
One of the most common lubricants in the production of tiles is KSF-1. Its main advantages are low consumption, ease of use and low cost. For metal forms, it is better to use the Nometal fairy tale, which can protect the metal from corrosive processes and from cracking.
An anti-adhesive concentrate can also act as a lubricant for paving slabs. Its use is justified for metal and polymer blanks. This substance has water-repellent properties and does not react to temperature.
The concentrate is good because it can be diluted with water at any time. You do not need special skills and abilities for this, just mix the solution for 5 minutes. When applying the lubricant, no special clothing is required.
If you want to not only freely remove the tile from the molds, but omit the washing procedure, then you should use a 10% hydrochloric acid solution. There is a method that completely eliminates the use of lubricants by taking a simple antistatic agent. However, he is not that good.
The range of applied lubricants, emulsions, concentrates, various petroleum oils, as well as powder and soap solutions, too wide. The choice of lubricant largely depends on the manufacturer, formwork configuration and production volume. The most popular lubricants are based on various concentrates and, in particular, KSF-1. Its small consumption square meter, the possibility of applying by any means at hand, make this product interesting from a material point of view.
As a rule, types of lubricants do not affect and do not change the color of the cast product, do not have a destructive effect on the shape of paving slabs. In the case of their manufacture in small quantities, for example, for summer cottages, yard or street paving, grease can be purchased at the service station for free. But it should be remembered that the lubricant must be applied to a completely clean surface.
Krystal molding oils are also common. Based on them, emulsions are formed, which are applied by spraying. They are used in the production of a wide range of paving and facing slabs, decorative pillars, laying lawn fences, curbs and others.
Nometal lubricant is also of interest. This type of oil not only facilitates the separation of the concrete product from the formwork, but also protects the metal form from corrosion. Lubrication gives:
- quality appearance of the outer surface of the product;
- prevents the appearance of pores on the front of the product;
- easily separates the finished slab from any type of mold.
You can lubricate the forms of paving slabs with the so-called anti-adhesive concentrate. It is used for polymer and metal molds, in the production of large-sized plates. The properties of such a lubricant give the surface of the product water-repellent qualities with the formation of a film, it differs from other lubricants in independence from temperature changes.
It should be borne in mind that lubricants are highly soluble in water, which makes it possible to obtain 100 or more liters of lubricant from 10 kilograms of concentrate. This is especially true for concentrates such as KSF-1. A homogeneous lubricating solution is obtained after 4-5 minutes of stirring.
We should not forget about the grease of the AGAT series. This generation of high performance lubricant is used for all types of formwork. The most economical, since 1 liter of lubricant is enough to process 35 square meters. surfaces.
In general, lubricants are not harmful to health and do not affect the environment in any way.
The issue of lubricating forms of paving slabs is not considered problematic, due to the presence of their diversity, including home-made.
