ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE REPAIR
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
■ Different colours and textures;
■ Linear coefficient of thermal expansion different from natural stone.
Repair of architectural concrete in place is possible and can avoid potential costs or delays associated with larger scale replacements. Over time, concrete changes colour making repairs with modern concrete repair mortars stand out and not as aesthetically pleasing.
The physical properties and also the aesthetic appearance of the original concrete should be considered when selecting a repair material. Since no two architectural concrete projects are the same, no ready-to-use, off the shelf products will work. If provided a sample of the concrete, our lab can match colour and aggregate.
TIP
Make sure to provide a sample that is representative of the work to be performed.
