METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PAVING ELEMENT

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a composite paving element, comprising a concrete body (45) and a tile body (20) adhered thereto. The tile body is placed in a mould (10-13), wherein a visible side (21) of the tile body (20) is directed toward the mould bottom. An adhesive layer (35) is arranged on the back side (22) of the tile body. The mould is then filled with a concrete mortar (40) and the concrete mortar is compacted into the concrete body (45). The adhesive layer is provided in an inner area on the back side of the tile body and leaves clear a peripheral area which extends therearound. The concrete body extends over the peripheral area and the concrete mortar is compacted into the concrete body at a pressure of more than 8 khPa (≈80 tons/m2), particularly at a pressure of between 10 and 50 khPa (≈100-500 tons/m2), and preferably at a pressure of between about 10 and 12 khPa (≈100-120 tons/m2).
