Aforxzy:
These are patterned precast concrete slabs. They are like the paving stones but bigger in size. They are made from weak concrete mix and laid like floor tiles.
They are mostly used for walkway construction.

While the stamped concrete is laid insitu and bigger in size, these are precast concrete in small size.

Is it more durable? Depends on where you are using it. For walkway , Yes it is. On the drive way. Only if the thickness is good enough for vechicular load.

Does it prevent grass growth ? Yes it does.





Ok.

Thanks , but which is cheaper?

Good evening house, recently i have been experiencing fluctuation in voltage supply and don't know what could have been the cause. My electrician got the value of 110V when he measured Voltage between neutral and earth. Does this value normal? Please help me out

The voltage reading between neutral and earth is too high. You need to check your earthing system very well . with this value you might be experiencing some electric shock when touching your fridge, your electric cooker. The value should be as low as 24V or less.

Also the fluctuation you are experiencing presently might be because of partial contact.. Pls check the following:

Neutral terminal in Electrical panel
Neutral terminal in your changeover switch
Neutral terminal in your Distribution boards
Neutral terminal in your cut-out fuse or gear switch

Also, you need to tell your electrician to check loop impedance value from your socket outlet

Thanks

Hmmm, considering the word affordability, the luxury in the 3d and the cost, I'm sure you are referring to the middle class citizens in the country.

Hello Guys,

If you sell doors please provide your best prices for the 7ft x 4ft and 7ft x 3ft or any other sizes of this door.

To builders and clients… Please what is your experience using this door (or similar variant) for main entrance and kitchen exit on your property?

How durable are they?

I am looking to purchase a few over Isreali doors.

Thanks
