Five key considerations for an Adelaide coloured concrete driveway
The following factors are something to think about as you make your decision.
- You add more life to your concrete driveway – Rather than having the traditional plain grey you can add more life to your driveway by adding colour to the concrete. Create a vibrant driveway you are proud to use each day. The choice of colours is varied so you can get something that really suits your home. It is a good idea when you are looking at the colours we offer to look at samples before you make any final decision. Decide whether you want a cool-toned drive or warm-toned, something subtle or something bold? Using UV-resistant colours means that the colour will last for longer and our expertise means the colour is consistent across the whole driveway.
- Be sure to seal your driveway to extend its lifespan – It is important when choosing a coloured concrete driveway to then protect the surface and extend its lifespan by making sure it is sealed correctly. It keeps it looking newer for longer as well so is the best choice for maintaining an attractive appearance. There is a range of sealer options we use to meet our client’s needs whether that is to keep the finish of the coloured concrete or enhance the colour. Sealing is also how to protect from tyre marks, spills, oil and so on.
- Texture is a great way to add slip resistance to a coloured driveway – You do not have to have a smooth finish on your driveway. We offer a variety of options to add texture which is also a good way to add slip resistance though it does up the cost of a coloured concrete driveway. Examples of textured finishes are sandblasting, a broom finish, hone and seal and then exposed aggregate. Sandblasting exposes some of the surfaces with lovely patterns that are textured. A broom finish gives you one texture and keeps the colour more consistent and is one of the more popular options. Hone and seal creates a very elegant and beautiful look. Exposed aggregate offers better grip options and gives you a lot of texture and is also very attractive.
- Enjoy how low maintenance it is – One of the main reasons our clients choose a concrete driveway is that it is low maintenance. Once it is sealed it is very easy to clean and because that sealer adds protection it means any spills can just be hosed or wiped away. The only thing to think about is having it resealed every two years or so. This is just a great way to extend its lifespan without needing to redo the whole thing anytime soon.
- How much does a coloured concrete driveway cost? When considering the cost of a coloured concrete driveway that varies depending on your location, the size of the drive, other services required, the sealer and texture you choose and the professional you choose.
