Decorative Concrete Information – Slabs and Pavers
Introduction
The use of concrete pavers, often referred to as paving stones, is growing rapidly on both commercial and residential construction projects. Interlocking pavers form a patterned surface which can be put into service immediately. Pavers are manufactured in various textures and colors. A big benefit of pavers is that they can be removed and re-installed, which reduces future service interruptions.
Pavers can be installed on your driveway, on a walkway, and on a patio. Pavers come in a variety of patterns, colors and styles to suit almost any design idea.
Slabs either wet cast and vibrated or pressed semi dry and then surface finished, revealed by retarders, etching, sand blasting or grinding to reveal a decorative finish from the aggregate cast within. Some are decorative and some are produced for heavy anti skid and grip use for use on station platforms for example.
