Anti-shrink slabs for monuments: manufacturing features

It is not recommended to install monuments directly onto the ground. This can severely affect the reliability of the product and its preservation. Therefore, companies producing items for ritual services manufacture anti-shrink slabs.

Manufacturing anti-shrink slabs for monuments: stages and parameters

Just like for other concrete products, creating them involves molds for slabs under monuments. They are filled with mortar to obtain the required appearance.

This procedure requires following a number of stages.

1. Preparation. Initially, a concrete mixture of the required quality and plasticity is created. To do this, various types of plasticizers are added to it, which enhance the durability and resistance of the finished product.
2. Reinforcement. Since this pedestal will have to support the weight of the monument itself, the slab needs to be reinforced. For this, a structure made of metal rods welded according to the principle of a rigid frame is used.
3. Pouring. After all these manipulations, the reinforcement is installed into the mold and poured with the concrete mixture, after which the compaction process using vibrational impact is mandatory. Then the finished product is left until completely dry.

All these points make it possible to obtain parts with the highest rate of quality and durability. They are produced in a rectangular or square shape depending on the type of tombstone.

Features and advantages of slabs for monuments

Choosing the mold for anti-shrink slabs under monuments depends entirely on the monument itself. It must be as stable as possible and easily withstand the weight of the main structure. The width of the base is also taken into account.

The thickness of the slab for the monument must not be less than the tombstone itself. This will ensure not only stability but also prevent further sinking into the ground. All these issues should be taken into account even at the stage of selecting ritual products.

Additionally, installing a monument on anti-shrink slabs has its nuances. For everything to go with the highest quality, it is necessary to install crossbars (jumpers). They will act as a stabilizer for the slab itself. Such elements are made of metal followed by pouring them with concrete. They are responsible for leveling and the correct installation of the tombstone.

Among the advantages of this product, the following indicators can be distinguished:

• the ability to carry out a high-quality installation;
• creation of products suitable for any type of soil;
• gives the product a finished look;
• harmonizes well with the flowerbed and the main tombstone.
