Quartz gravel

The diversity of quartz gravel: A useful and beautiful natural product for garden & terrace

Quartz gravel fits perfectly into a natural garden or terrace and can be used very well, for example, for a garden path.

Quartz gravel is a real all-rounder in garden design, whether you use it as decorative gravel for a flower bed, as a joint, or as a flooring. Also, in combination with another natural stone, you achieve a charming effect for your garden. In addition, there are other possible uses for quartz gravel, such as for water treatment, as a spreading or abrasive agent, or for use as aquarium gravel. It is therefore very suitable for garden and landscaping, as well as for swimming and fish ponds.

We use quartz gravel as a substructure for laying polygonal slabs.

Quartzite is a very hard rock ...

… which is used for many different purposes, including building materials, fillers, and decoration. There are various types of gravel, including decorative gravel, chippings, and decorative stones. For laying polygonal slabs, we recommend gravel with a grain size of 3-6 mm. Quartz gravel, as a natural product, is a naturally occurring mineral rock fragment that mostly consists of rock from the Earth's mantle. It contains many minerals, including quartz, feldspar, and mica. We use it in a finer grain size as jointing mortar to create a robust and water-permeable joint between natural stones. Colored quartz gravel is produced through color coating to achieve a unique and attractive appearance in garden design and landscaping.

Versatility and durability are other characteristics of  quartz gravel , as well as resistance to chemical erosion and changes caused by weathering. It also serves as  a very good drainage material and can be used when laying paving stones, rubble stones for garden walkways, bed edging, or garden patios. Quartz gravel is also used as a filler in mortar and concrete products and is a very high-performance and durable material that helps increase the strength and density of concrete products.

What makes the pre-treated quartz gravel from bruchsteinplatten.de special?

The special feature of our quartz gravel is that it has been washed twice and flamed once. This pretreatment avoids the unclean, dusty, and crumbly consistency typically found in conventional quartz gravel. Through the double washing process and flaming, a largely clean grain is obtained, which is important for the resin to form a clean bond with the quartz gravel. We recommend before using the stones, to drop the bag from a height of about 50 cm onto the ground in a controlled and jerky manner so that the remaining dust particles can settle at the bottom of the bag.

Terrace substructure packages with premium quartz gravel

Quartz gravel, resin, colored quartz gravel joint mortar, and impregnation for laying natural stone slabs on your terrace without concrete.

Quartz gravel and synthetic resin as joint mortar

Quartz gravel is a commonly used material for the production of joint mortar. It is a particularly hard rock, usually available in the form of finely ground grains in various colors and sizes. Quartz gravel is a very resilient material and is therefore particularly suitable for use as joint material. The quartz gravel is mixed with a special joint mortar to create a robust, durable, and water-permeable joint without concrete. The mortar can be applied in different colors to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result.

Colored quartz gravel (Colorquarz) is produced by using a color coating process, where the gravel grains are immersed in a solution with a color. This can be done either by dipping in a colored solution or by using a special color coating process. The color coating process can be produced in a variety of colors, giving the grains a unique and attractive appearance. Colored quartz gravel is a popular choice for landscape design projects, as the different colors and patterns offer a variety of aesthetic properties and effects. The gravel can also be used as decoration for plants, gardens, and paths.

It all depends on your preferences and how the rest of your garden looks. For example, if you have a modern garden, gravel in lighter colors can be a good option. However, if you have a more traditional garden, darker gravel will be the better choice. There are also different types of gravel, such as chippings, gravel, or pebbles. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult a professional to find out which gravel is best suited for your terrace or project.

Which gravel is the right one for laying polygonal slabs / natural stone slabs / broken stone slabs?

For the installation of polygonal slabs, you should use gravel with a grain size of 3-6 mm. This quartz gravel is finer than regular gravel and can also be used as jointing material. It is also suitable for drainage and is easy to work with. The gravel must be spread out before laying the natural stone slabs so that it forms a level surface. However, the gravel should not be laid too densely, as this would impair the drainage capacity of the substrate. The polygonal slabs can then be laid.

Do you want to buy quartz gravel in a grain size of 2-4 mm to create a garden path or for mixing with joint mortar?
