To obtain the pavers you must assemble to molds into which the concrete will be poured.
For this task, wooden boards can be used to assemble the frames and bottoms of the mold.
]Commercial plastic or rubber molds, which come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, can also be used.
For example, if you want to make concrete pavers 25 by 25 centimeters, two pieces of wood 25 centimeters long by five centimeters wide are cut.
These pieces can be first secured with nails, screws, and can be reinforced with silicone or insulating material.
The mold will not be complete without a base, which can be made with a plywood board nailed to the frame.
Now, all that’s left is to pour the concrete prepared with Progreso UGC Cement into the mold, following the instructions on the bag.
Ensure that the interior is filled, leveled, and smoothed to prevent air bubbles inside the paver and contact with the surface.
Drying time will depend on weather conditions, but on average, one to two days should be enough.
To remove the paver, gently tap the wooden structure or remove the wooden parts with a hammer softly.
There you have it, enjoy your handmade pavers! Decorate your home!
