Will the color or finish fade over time?
I've seen 30 year old concrete color come back to life with sealer. Some fading is normal, especially with sun exposure. Sealing your concrete helps maintain color and protect against staining, weathering, and wear. Proper maintenance can keep your concrete looking vibrant for years.
For durability and safety, exposed aggregate concrete is ideal for driveways. Broom finished concrete patios because they are slip-resistant. stamped concrete is also popular for a decorative patio yet durable surface.
FAQ
Which concrete finish is best for driveways and patios?
Can existing stamped concrete be colored?
Yes! Existing stamped concrete can be colored using EZ-Tique, a durable concrete coloring system. It enhances the look of your concrete by adding vibrant, long-lasting color without the need to replace the slab.
Is the color just on top of the concrete?
No! The color is integrally mixed throughout the entire slab of concrete, not just on the surface. This ensures even, long-lasting color that won’t easily wear off or fade.
