- 1.)
A very large number of driveways, patios and pool decks have
any number of deficiencies such as poor colour adhesion, cracking,
texture inconsistencies, shallow depth (impressions and deformation).
- 2.)
Because of the sensitive nature of Stamp Concrete (i.e. the
very fine particulate that is pulled up to the surface which
allows the Stamp Concrete to have that beautiful, glossy shine),
this is a very thin surface and if that surface is compromised
(i.e. by way of de-icers being applied or salt dripping out
of the wheel wells from your vehicles, unprofessional power
washing techniques, U.V, exposure and weather extremes), it's
clear to see that the ongoing beauty of your stamp concrete
has many enemies.
 The
only thing that can stop or slow down the process of deterioration
is the annual and semi-annual maintenance
(i.e.
the proper and/ or professional washing and concrete sealing).
Most of the jobs I am asked to come and view
have
not been properly protected with a concrete sealer and/ or power
washed to death by the home owner that
thinks
pressure washing at relatively low pressures (1,500 P.S.I.) is
OK. It's not OK! It's very damaging over
time.
Continue reading below...
The
sale of these 1,500 P.S.I. electric pressure washers by the "Big
Box" Retailers are very damaging in the
cleaning
process - even with a relatively low P.S.I.. You have to get so
close to the concrete to clean it that you
are
constantly damaging and wearing away that fine cream particulate
that allows stamp concrete to shine - which
is
one of the reasons people choose stamp concrete in the first place!
Simply
put, after the concrete has been placed, the VERY MOST IMPORTANT
THING THAT YOU MUST DO
TO
MAINTAIN THE BEAUTY OF YOUR STAMP CONCRETE IN ONE WORD IS MAINTENANCE!
