It may be that your driveway has a design or finish you like but it's lost its appeal over time. Premier Stamped Concrete of Fort Wayne Inc, an experienced contractor, will restore the driveway's faded finish with a hard-working overlay made of real cement. This roll-on paint-like material preserves the original design but makes it look like new.
These homeowners saved money by using integrally-colored, broom-finished concrete to make their driveway's main fields and stamping the edges of the driveway with a brick-patterned border. To contrast with the lighter driveway color, they were stained a burnt red shade for their borders.
Step 4: Once the pattern is imprinted, the professional installer places the stamp onto the overlay. This step is very difficult because the overlay must be able to accept and keep an imprint. A professional should do it. The overlay is left to dry for at least a day.
A decorative concrete overlay is a great option for a completely new look to your driveway. This will cover minor damage such as cracks, imperfections, or discoloration. The overlay provides a durable finish and a strong bond to the original concrete. It will not crack, peel or chip. Concrete overlays are easily stained, stamped, or hand-carved with faux finishes like cobblestone, flagstone, Ashlar, Roman slate, or cobblestone.
