The Installation Process
Here are the steps we take when installing pattern imprinted concrete...
When you decide to have a pattern imprinted concrete pathway installed you want to know exactly what will happen and want assurance that it will be installed by the best possible team of professionals.
- Excavate your existing driveway.
- Lay M.O.T. (hardcore) down and run a whacker plate over the top compacting the material together.
- Lay any steps, drainage or manholes which may be needed.
- Shutter the driveway off using timber or plastic radius for any curves needed.
- Lay concrete down then throw a colour hardener over the top and trowel in.
- Throw an antique release agent down and imprint using the mould's and tools needed.
- Two days later we will come back to wash 75% of the release agent off, then 25% of it penetrates into the concrete leaving you with a two-tone antique effect.
- Cut expansion joints in the concrete for any ground movement.
- Last of all come back to seal it
