Plastic Concrete Paving Stencil Model ARCO X101

Plastic Concrete Paving Stencil Model ARCO X101

The ARCO X101 is a circular stencil with an incomplete circular outer shape, and it lacks internal stiffeners. This stencil is one of the most widely used concrete paving stencils, allowing for easy installation of round concrete tiles. The stencil has an outer diameter of 35 cm, a height of 4 cm, and a blade thickness of 6 mm, made from durable ABS plastic. It can be used to lay concrete flooring in various settings such as villa yards, parks, urban green spaces, garden walkways, and sidewalks with ease, requiring no special skills or expertise.

Using plastic paving stencils for paving and landscaping not only simplifies the installation process but also enhances the aesthetic quality of the flooring by incorporating colored mortars. The geometric shape of the stencil is designed with an external circular boundary, without any central blades, allowing multiple stencils to be placed side by side to expand the design. One of the key benefits of the ARCO X101 stencil is its versatility—it can be expanded in different directions and with regular or irregular spacing to create beautiful patterns. Moreover, as this model has only one internal cell, epoxy resins can be used on its surface, enabling the creation of unique designs with 3D stickers.

The ARCO X101 stencil is the easiest method for paving compared to other traditional methods, such as mosaic installation, concrete pouring, or using pre-cast concrete tiles. It provides a better aesthetic and more efficient result. This stencil is an ideal and cost-effective alternative for public spaces and urban environments, offering better outcomes compared to methods like mosaic tiling, concrete pouring, or using pre-made concrete paving tiles and washed concrete.

Installation Process for the ARCO X101 Concrete Paving Stencil

1. Mortar Preparation: Ensure the mix has a cement ratio of at least 300, with a recommended normal ratio of 350 for the best results.
2. Stencil Placement: Arrange the stencils side by side, ensuring the bottom of the stencils is saturated with fresh water to prevent excessive absorption by the ground.
3. Mortar Application: Fill the stencil cells with mortar and level the surface.
4. Vibration: Lightly tap the stencil with a hand or trowel to ensure proper compaction of the mortar.
5. Curing: After the mortar has set for 2 to 3 hours, carefully remove the stencil, ensuring it is lifted vertically to avoid damaging the pattern.
6. Curing: Water the surface for 3 days to cure the concrete.
7. Drying: After 24 to 48 hours, the surface can be walked on, and after 7 days, it is ready to bear heavy loads.

Required Number of ARCO X101 Stencils

The number of stencils needed depends on the area to be paved. Generally, for smaller areas, 2 to 4 stencils are recommended, while larger areas may require 16 or more stencils for faster installation.
