The MOLD X120 Concrete Paving Stencil

The MOLD X120 Concrete Paving Stencil

The MOLD X120 Concrete Paving Stencil is a square-shaped mold with an external square appearance and internal arched stiffeners. This concrete paving stencil, model MOLD X120, is made of durable ABS plastic material and has dimensions of 40×40 cm with a height of 4 cm and a blade thickness of 6 mm. It is designed to easily lay paving stones for various outdoor areas such as villa yards, homes, parks, urban green spaces, and gardens without the need for specialized skills or expertise.

Using this stencil for paving not only makes the process easier but also allows the creation of beautiful pavements with colored mortars using simple cement mortar. The geometric shape of this mold is designed with a square outer perimeter and arched inner blades, enabling various configurations by arranging the stencils in different directions to create diverse patterns.

The MOLD X120 stencil is the easiest and most efficient method for outdoor paving when compared to traditional options like mosaic laying, concrete pouring, or using prefabricated concrete tiles. This method is especially effective for public spaces such as parks and green areas, offering a cost-effective, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Key Features of MOLD X120 Concrete Paving Stencil

• Made of high-density, weather-resistant ABS plastic, offering exceptional durability in various weather conditions.
• The stencil has a high repetition rate and, with proper care, can serve as a permanent tool for professionals.
• Resistant to impact and pressure, it does not easily crack or break.
• The ABS polymer used in the MOLD X120 ensures high wear resistance against contact with mortar and concrete.
• The stencil does not stick to mortar or concrete during pouring or mold removal.
• The MOLD X120 stencil is easy to clean with water and a brush, requiring no special acidic cleaners for removing cement.
• No need for surface preparation or leveling before using the stencil for paving.
• It can be used on uneven or sloped surfaces without the need for special base preparation.
• The stencil allows the integration of different models simultaneously for aesthetic variety in the paving pattern.
• Plants, grass, or gravel can be added to the gaps between the paving cells to enhance the beauty of the surface.

How to Use the MOLD X120 Concrete Paving Stencil

• The key to effective use of the MOLD X120 is the proper physical condition of the cement mortar, which should have a mix ratio of at least 350 kg per cubic meter.
• The recommended slump for the mortar is between 4-6. A high slump will increase the work cycle and may result in lower strength due to water absorption.
• The stencil should be oiled or lubricated with a suitable oil or diesel before placement.
• Ensure the bottom of the stencils is saturated with clean water to prevent water absorption from the mortar.
• Mortar should be evenly spread within the stencil cells using a trowel.
• After filling and leveling the stencil cells, gently tap the surface to vibrate and compact the mortar.
• Allow the mortar to set for 2-3 hours before removing the stencils to avoid deformation.
• After removing the stencil, the newly paved surface should be kept moist with water for at least 3 days to cure.
• It takes 24-48 hours for the surface to be walkable, and after 7 days, the surface can withstand heavy traffic such as vehicles.

Required Number of MOLD X120 Stencils for Paving

The number of stencils needed depends on the area to be paved and the available time for the work. For small areas, at least two stencils are recommended, while larger areas may require up to 16 or more stencils to speed up the process.
