Patterned Concrete - making the perfect impression:
No Weeds, No Sinking, No Moss! Drives, Paths & Patios

Technical Information
It's easy, Patterned Concrete is the only non porous maintenance free product on the market. With 4" of fibre reinforced concrete laid in one slab then coloured with a pure cement powder & embossed with a rubber matt, no weeds can grow through and no sinking can occur. We then apply a coat of acrylic seal which makes the product non porous so any thin spillage such as oil etc washes off. It also protects it against direct sunlight so it won't fade. Anti slip is added so it is non slip.
