Patterned concrete pavements are merely slabs of concrete that are embossed with a pattern. Therefore, they are prone to the same problems with freeze/thaw cycles, namely cracking and palling.  more

Patterned concrete pavements are merely slabs of concrete that are embossed with a pattern. This type of pavement is prone to cracking when freezing and thawing occurs. Stamped concrete requires an expansion joint every 10 feet, which may be distracting in the pattern you are creating. As well, repairs to individual units or underground utility problems, can be more difficult and costly.  more

Patterned concrete pavements are merely slabs of concrete that are embossed with a pattern. Therefore, they are prone to the same problems with freeze/thaw cycles, namely cracking and spalling. We guarantee that EP Henry Pavers won't crack or spall; you cannot obtain a similar guarantee for stamped concrete. Stamped concrete requires expansion joints every 10 feet or so which are very distracting in some patterns. Also, unlike EP Henry Pavers, patterned concrete pavements don't allow access to underground utilities or the ability to make repairs. At virtually the same price per square foot installed, EP Henry Pavers are clearly a superior choice.  more

Patterned concrete pavements are merely large sections of poured-in-place concrete that have been embossed with a design. Therefore, they are prone to the same problem freeze/thaw cycles (ie. cracking and spalling), lower strengths and higher absorption rates as poured-in-place concrete. Pavers permit a flexible, breathable surface, working with nature. In addition, stamped concrete requires expansion joints every 10 feet or so, which can be very distracting. Also, patterned concrete pavements don't allow access to underground utilities or the ability to make repairs. At practically the same price per square foot installed, pavers are clearly the best choice.  more

Installed properly, pavers will out perform poured-in-place concrete, stamped concrete and patterned asphalt by many years. How long will it take for my project to be installed? Less time than you might think. The average home patio can be installed in a day or two. Being a mortarless system, ...  more
