Even before start placing and stamping, calculating the cost of
stamped concrete
or a concrete driveway, sidewalk, patio, there are a number of
factors to consider as local concrete contractors.
Stamped Concrete
1, Using the right mix:
consider air temperature and weather conditions ,concrete color, strength,
rock size, (take it easy with accelerators)
2, choose the right shade of release powder, or mix in the right amount of
color in the liquid release.
3, Consider Reinforcement:
steel, wire mesh, fiber, micro fiber
4, Cuts:
cut your stamped concrete at preparation for stamping, or within 2-3 days
5,Details:
They can 'make or break' the look of your concrete works
6, Give enough time for stamping:
Perfect timing of the works makes your concrete look great and you can finish up with ease
7, Sealing:
Pick a dry but not hot day for sealing. Leave no water after washing,
use a blow drier to dry it,and if you're using a blow torch don't come
close with the sealer to it. For long lasting and great look use a high
quality sealer,for more traction mix in shark grip.
8, Try not to guarantee no cracks! Ive seen industrial strength high rise
building concrete cracks, I'm talking about strong thick concrete. Even if
being compelled by the contractor, or house owner at taking on the job,
don't fall for guarantying your slab,but tell them about your way of
minimizing the damage by putting in sufficient number cuts to control
the cracking!
9, Preparation
an over all well prepaired area for concrete pour can make a big difference
in the long run, so don't leave soft spots. Use proper road base etc. tamper well.
form it straight and solid.
10, Have fun doing it, but pay attention to all details!
