So, you're trying to decide, pavers or stamped concrete. You are getting estimates from both contractors. The paver guy claims his product is better and the concrete contractor claims his product is. So what do you do, who do you believe. If you live in Rhode Island chances are your town already made the switch over to stamped concrete. Towns like Barrington, Bristol, Cumberland, Jamestown, Newport, Providence, North Providence, Cranston and North & South Kingstown just to name a few.
WHY?
Stamped concrete is far more durable than pavers and the initial cost is usually cheaper to install. Pavers cannot be reinforced, whereas concrete can. You can reinforce concrete a number of ways. One of the most common and what Artistic Concrete use's is rebar. Rebar is basically steel rods that are put into the concrete. Rebar is the strongest form of reinforcement. The second form of reinforcement and probably the most widely used amongst residential concrete contractors is wire mesh. The final type of reinforcement is fiber-mesh. Fiber-mesh is ordered through the concrete plant and is really just fiberglass that is included in the mix design.
Go Concrete!
Artistic Concrete uses rebar and fiber-mesh on all projects we install. The end use of the slab will determime the thickness and rebar spacing. Depending on the end use and budget we can apply all three types of reinforcement at once for the ultimate in strenth.
1/2in rebar installed less than a foot apart.
We used all three types of reinforcement for this pool. Rebar, wire mesh and the fiber-mesh.
