Granite screenings have been used in construction work for many years. In recent years, the popularity of this material has become even greater: granite screenings, or granite chips, are used in the manufacture of paving slabs, curbs, small architectural forms, self-leveling floors. Screenings granite use for registration of paths in gardens, parks, squares on personal plots. Such paths even in rainy weather look well-groomed, there are no puddles and dirt on them. Also, this material is necessary to create a coating on playgrounds and sports fields, it can often be seen in courtyards and on the streets as an anti-icing agent. Sprinkling with a fine fraction of granite helps to avoid slipping on roads and sidewalks, improving the situation on the roads and reducing injuries. The use of granite as an anti-icing agent does not harm the environment, clothes and shoes 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 melts and the sidewalks and roads dry, it can be gently swept away and collected for reuse.
This material is often used in park management and landscape planning. Screenings granite happen two flowers: gray and pink (red). This material is resistant to abrasion and has a high resistance to aggressive media. It is almost not influenced by natural and climatic factors: granite is not afraid of rain, drought, heat or frost. If we add to this an attractive appearance that does not change over time, it becomes clear why granite screenings are so popular. Small fractions are used for paths: paths and fates covered with small gravel look attractive at any time of the year.
Often in the process of operation there is a need to put the territory in order. In the case of using granite screenings, this takes a minimum of time and requires little money: just add a little screening to the section of the track that needs restoration and level it. Repair work completed, appearance 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 0-5 mm fraction. Small pieces of rock have more
attractive appearance, look like a uniform surface and do not cause inconvenience when walking, which is the main disadvantage of coarse gravel.
This is a completely environmentally friendly material that is 100% natural. The only drawback that can be attributed to this material is its considerable cost. Granite screenings (price per ton ranges from $8 to $28) are supplied in bulk and in bags of various sizes. The price depends on the fraction and the presence of dust (dust-free material is more expensive). In addition, the price is affected by the method of delivery and the distance to the final destination.
