Halstead Essex CO9 imprinted Concrete

Pattern imprinted concrete and block paving are two of the most popular choices for driveways and patios. They offer something a little more interesting than plain concrete or tarmac. But how do you choose between imprinted concrete or block paving? And how do you know which one is best for you? First of all, the methods for each driveway option are completely different: Pattern imprinted concrete - a suitable sub-base is laid down and then a layer of concrete is poured over the top. Your chosen colour is applied and whilst the concrete is still wet, a specific pattern is imprinted to create your chosen effect. Block Paving - individual bricks or blocks are laid down in a predetermined pattern. You can choose the colour and material of the bricks, as well as the design of the overall pattern. There are pros and cons to each driveway choice but overall, they are both excellent options to choose. We’ll have a look at the similarities and differences of both types of finish.
