Durability

How do engraved bricks look several years after installation?
With periodic maintenance the surface will look substantially the same years after the installation. With no maintenance, over the years, engraved bricks naturally take on an antique or used brick appearance. Brick, cobblestone, and flagstone that looks like it has a long history is desired by many.

What is the life expectancy of an engraved concrete?
Engraved bricks, tiles and cobblestones are guaranteed to never come loose. How could they? The pattern is cut INTO the concrete. The pattern will last as long as the concrete because it is the concrete.

Can the Concrete Engraving process be done indoors?
Yes. Many operators’ major business is interior work.

Will the color fade?
Nothing is impervious to the sun’s UV rays, everybody’s colors change. Fade? Maybe a little. Many times a color actually becomes darker. Changes in the color of a stain outside are very slow and span many years, especially when they are routinely maintained with a clear sealer.

How thick is it?
There is no thickness added. The grooving process cuts the concrete to give an appearance of a grout line and that gives the look of depth and texture.

What does the finished job look like?
Using our equipment ordinary concrete can be remodeled to look like brick, tile, polished marble, flagstone, fieldstone, ashlar slate, cobblestone, geometric designs, corporate logos, or themed designs. Classic circular, arched or straight patterns that look either brand new or with a long history can be engraved into existing concrete.

Where can engraved concrete be used?
Driveways, floors, parking lots, entries, walkways, basements, pool decks, patios, restaurant and retail floors–any concrete residential, commercial or municipal. Many homes, office buildings, restaurants, stores, fast food establishments, convenience stores, have engraved concrete inside and out.
