Abstract
A method for the fabrication of concrete blocks (2) or concrete slabs of various forms and sizes, fabrication taking place on the basis of vibrational compaction in concrete-filled molds or dies, the block surface or slab surface of the concrete blocks or concrete slabs being subjected to at least one post-forming treatment and subsequent curing. The post-forming treatment includes gentle contact of the surfaces of the concrete blocks or concrete slabs with soft materials.

A method for the fabrication of concrete blocks (2) or concrete slabs of various forms and sizes, comprising the steps of:
- forming concrete blocks (2) by filling molds with concrete, vibrationally compacting said concrete and removing said blocks (2) from said molds in a manner exposing upper surfaces that are wet,
- dipping soft material (4) in a latex,
- subjecting said upper surfaces of said blocks (2) to a post-forming treatment by moving contact of said dipped soft material (4) against said upper surfaces of said blocks and
- curing said blocks.
A method for the fabrication of concrete blocks (2) or concrete slabs of various forms and sizes, comprising the steps of:
- forming concrete blocks (2) by filling molds with concrete, vibrationally compacting said concrete and removing said blocks (2) from said molds in a manner exposing upper surfaces that are wet,
- dipping soft material (4) in a paint,
- subjecting said upper surfaces of said blocks (2) to a post-forming treatment by moving contact of said dipped soft material (4) against said upper surfaces of said blocks and
- curing said blocks.
A method of the fabrication of concrete blocks (2) or concrete slabs of various forms of sizes, comprising the steps of:
- forming concrete blocks (2) by filling molds with concrete, vibrationally compacting said concrete and removing said blocks (2) from said molds in a manner exposing upper surfaces that are wet,
- subjecting said upper surfaces of said blocks (2) to a post-forming treatment by moving contact of soft material (4) against said upper surfaces of said blocks,
- applying paint to said upper surfaces and
- curing said blocks.
A method for the fabrication of a concrete block (2), comprising the steps of:
- forming a concrete block (2) with suitable forming equipment,
- removing said block (2) from said forming equipment to expose an upper uncured surface,
- subjecting said upper surface to a post-forming treatment by moving contact of said upper surface with soft material (4) and by simultaneously applying a tinting liquid to said upper surface and
- curing said block (2).

A method for the fabrication of concrete blocks (2) or concrete slabs of various forms and sizes, comprising the steps of:
- forming concrete blocks (2) by filling molds with concrete, vibrationally compacting said concrete and removing said blocks (2) from said molds in a manner exposing upper surfaces that are wet,
- subjecting said upper surfaces of said blocks (2) to a post-forming treatment by rotating a disk (3) from which strands of soft material (4) are suspended, said strands of soft material (4) contacting said upper surfaces of said blocks during rotation of said disk (3) and
- curing said blocks.
