1. Weight of Curbstones
The weight of curbstones mainly depends on their material and dimensions:
Type | Common Size | Single Piece Weight
Concrete Curbstone | 100×30×12cm (Length×Height×Thickness) | Approx. 90kg/piece
Granite Curbstone | 600×300×100mm (S-shaped) | Approx. 45kg/piece
Granite Curbstone | 1000×300×250mm | Approx. 200-250kg/piece (estimated)
Weight Calculation Formula: Weight = Length × Width × Height × Density
Concrete Density: Approx. 2.3-2.4 tons/m³
Granite Density: Approx. 2.7-2.8 tons/m³
2. Commonly Used Materials
The main materials used for curbstones are:
Concrete Curbstone (Most Commonly Used)
Strength Grade: Usually C30 or higher strength concrete Features: High cost-performance ratio, standardized specifications, can be precast or cast-in-place
Applications: Ordinary municipal roads, residential roads
Natural granite curbstone
Common varieties: Sesame Grey, Sesame White, Wulian Flower, Wulian Red, Yellow Rust Stone, etc.

4. Purchase Recommendations
Main Municipal Roads: C30 concrete or granite is recommended, prioritizing durability.
Residential Areas/Pedestrian Walkways: Concrete or ordinary granite is sufficient, controlling costs.
Landscape/Commercial Areas: Choose high-grade granite such as Wulian granite or yellow rust granite to enhance aesthetics.
Note: When purchasing granite, request the block number to ensure color difference is controlled within 5%.
Price Factors: Material, size (height > 15cm requires an additional 10-15%), processing method (flamed, bush-hammered, etc.), purchase quantity, and transportation distance.
