How deep do you dig down?

On a driveway we dig down 200mm. On a patio it’s 150mm.

Why does the weather affect the installation of concrete?

Concrete should never be installed when the temperature drops below 3 centigrade in the daytime or below -1 centigrade at night as it can affect the durability and strength of the concrete. We also never install pattern imprinted concrete when rain or showers are forecast as it will impair the finish of the concrete imprint.

Is Pattern Imprinted Concrete Slippy?

Pattern imprinted concrete can be slippy when installers finish their project with a high gloss sealant and no anti-slip is added. We finish our projects to a satin finish and anti-slip is added to the sealant for maximum grip.
