Why Choose London Concrete Forming for Your Concrete Driveway?
Concrete driveways are a prominent feature of any residence, making a lasting first impression. They must be durable and long-lasting to enhance the value and elegance of your home over the years. Concrete stands out as the preferred choice for driveways, offering superior longevity compared to asphalt and paving stones. Builders worldwide select concrete for its unmatched durability and aesthetic versatility.
Durability and Longevity
As a leading Tilsonburg concrete contractor, London Concrete Forming is committed to delivering high standards in driveway construction, ensuring long-term success. Our concrete driveways are poured on a compacted gravel base, achieving a minimum 98% proctor density. Typically, we pour 100mm thick slabs reinforced with ½ inch rebar spaced 18 inches apart. This specification supports regular cars and small trucks, providing superior strength compared to other materials. For larger vehicles or heavy equipment, we can increase the slab thickness to 6 or 8 inches with ⅝ inch rebar, surpassing the strength of our competitors.
Construction Standards
Our commitment to quality includes:
- Compacted Gravel Base: Ensures stability and longevity.
- Reinforced Concrete: Utilizes high-strength rebar for added durability.
- Custom Specifications: Options for thicker slabs and stronger rebar for heavy-duty use.
We source our high-quality concrete from DBRMX, ensuring top-notch materials for your driveway.
Types of Concrete Driveways
Broom Finish Concrete Driveway
The most common driveway finish, broom finish driveways can include added color for decorative appeal. They require minimal maintenance, such as sealing, compared to other decorative options.
Float Finish Concrete Driveway
An upgrade from broom finish, float finish driveways feature hand cuts or saw cuts. Colors and acid stains can be added, with acrylic sealers recommended for these finishes. Ideal for steeper grades when using penetrating concrete sealers.
Architectural Sandblast Concrete Driveway
A decorative upgrade from broom finish, this option includes hand cuts or saw cuts, with color and acid stains. Acrylic sealers enhance the finish, suitable for areas with steep grades.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete Driveways
Popular for their decorative appeal, exposed aggregate driveways are achieved by washing or sandblasting the surface to reveal the aggregate. Often combined with stamped concrete borders for a unique look.
Stamped Driveways
Rubber mats imprint textures and patterns into the concrete, resembling slate, stone, or brick. These driveways are typically colored before stamping and sealed with high gloss sealers for vibrant colors. Not recommended for steep grades due to potential slipperiness.
Concrete Driveways with Borders
Borders are poured separately to divide the driveway, adding a decorative touch to your landscaping. You can mix and match finishes and colors between the borders and main areas for endless customization options.
