  Can I completely change the colour of my imprinted concrete?

No, by trying to change the colour you would effectively be trying to 'paint' the surface, with the most likely outcome being the surface colour peeling off.

  Can I recolour my patterned concrete?

Yes you can, but just adding a lot of colour pigment to the sealer is not advisable for several reasons. For a detailed answer and more information on the re-colouring process for patterned concrete call our advice team on 01268 722505

  How often should imprinted concrete be resealed?

This dependent on the quality of sealer and ammount of sealer originally applied, but two coats, roughly every 3-5 years is recommended

  In what weather conditions can the sealer be applied?

Always in dry weather, to a clean surface, with temperatures between 8-23 degrees, in good weather conditions would be ideal.

  what coverage can I expect from 25 litres of sealer?

Dependent on overall condition and when it was last sealed, between 75-100 square metres

  what is the best method of applying imprinted concrete sealer?

By broom or suitable sealer sprayer is the best method.

  Why has my imprinted concrete covered in surface whiteness?

Answer:- 99% of the time this is due to either moisture in the air or being present in the concrete slab during the drying process of the imprinted concrete sealer

  Why is the sealer 'lifting' and 'flaking' away from my driveway

The sealer could be lifting or flaking for several reasons. 1, the surface temperature of the concrete was to high when the sealer was applied. 2, To much 'release agent' was left on the surface of the concrete by the original installers prior to sealing denying the opportunity for the concrete sealer to penetrate properly. 3, Coloured pigment was added to the sealer to help 'richen' up the colour but effectively this created a paint rather than a sealer could not penetrate into the concrete properly.
