ANSWERS
- No, CREATIVE PAVING™ is cast on-site and the colour and patterns are applied while the concrete is wet (slab in progress). Interlocking paving stones on the other hand are pre-cast at a factory moved to site and then arranged like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
- Imagine stamping your foot on a bed of in-set concrete; the pattern beneath the sole of your shoes is impressed in the concrete and remain, literally forever.
- Not if properly maintained! The colour is achieved by application of high quality dry-shake colour hardeners and antique release agents that produce permanent U.V stable surface.
- Cracks are controlled in a number of ways:
*
The concrete mix used for pattern imprinted concrete - with a higher cement content - is stronger that regular concrete.
* The concrete mix contains crack inhibiting/reinforcing fibres.
* Properly designed and installed isolation, expansion and control joints are an integral part of
CREATIVE PAVING™ pavements.
- Good house keeping; sweeping and rising with clean water as required. Every number of years, just like house painting, your Artscape pavement may be washed and resealed by our team of experts.
- CREATIVE PAVING™ is sealed with decorative concrete sealer, which contains anti-fungicides to prevent algae build up and moss growth.
- Our sealer produces a hard, durable clear film with excellent resistance to water, alkali and acids. Oils stains simply wash away.
- CREATIVE PAVING™ laid to slope so that water is directed to pre-constructed drainage channels.
