A: It’s a unit of pressure (stress/strength) and a measure of concrete compressive strength that means Mega Pascal.

A: Between 20 to 25 MPa. This varies depending upon what kind of surface. But it’s a high performance concrete. A standard compressive strength of a concrete is between 17.5 to 50 MPa. In more than 28 days, its strength increases.

A rebar is a mesh of steel wires used to strengthen and hold the concrete in tension. For this, we use the SL72 square mesh. It has a diameter of 7 mm bars, which are on a grid of 200 mm apart.

A: We highly encourage you to wait and not walk or drive on your new driveway for at least seven days. Though this depends on what kind of finish, it is usually fine to walk on new concrete after about twelve hours.

What makes it different from a regular concrete is that with stamped, colour is added to the mix. It is also altered and shaped to be more visually appealing.

A: For aesthetics. Who doesn’t love an exterior who’ll turn heads and make neighbors want to ask where you had it made? It adds to the curb appeal.

A: Concrete, although long-lasting, is susceptible to cracks, discolouration, and other damages caused by extreme weather conditions. This is why it is a must to maintain its structure as well as its appearance by sealing it.

A: For standard-sized driveways (about 50sqm), it will take 1-2 days.

A: For large concrete slabs like driveways, we highly recommend that you use a concrete expansion joint. This will prevent cracking from tension or temperature changes.

A: It is also a decorative concrete that is stained or dyed to achieve a particular colour. The colour pigments are UV protected, too.

A: Stenciled concrete makes use of paper stencils and in comparison to stamped, it takes less time and effort to do. It can create contemporary patterns without the use of real stones.
