If you want to create a new look for your garden path, think about making the paving stones light up in the dark. Glow slates look great in the yard and are easy to make too. You just need to decide whether to paint the existing slabs or create your own, you can even design your own personalized stones.
Steps
Paint the paving stones
- Depending on the type of paint you use, the time it takes for the paint to dry can take several minutes to several hours. You should read the instructions on the paint can.
- Street lights and yard lights can reduce the brightness of the stone.
Make your own paving stone
- For example, if you have 38 liters of mixed mix, there will be 32 liters of concrete and 5.7 liters of luminous powder.
- Choose a luminous powder containing aluminate earth instead of one containing zinc for the most brilliant luminosity.
- Make sure the number of molds is enough for the number of slabs you plan to make – the mixed concrete will dry before you pour the second batch.
Create a unique shape for the stone slabs
- The contrast between painted and unpainted parts will create clear and conspicuous drawings.
- You can place small pebbles, inexpensive jewelry, small garden ornaments or personal items in the concrete. Clean the decorations with a brush and a mild soap solution so you can see the details clearly.
Advice
- Mix luminous powder with tile grout to create luminous tile joints. Choose a filling material that does not block UV rays (UV rays have the effect of activating luminous powder).
