Craftsmanship
We follow all American Concrete Institute recommended guidelines with respect to properplacement, jointing, finishing and curing of concrete. The sub base will be mechanically compacted and the concrete will be jointed every 12 feet or less to reduce random cracking. We use a minimum of 4000 PSI concrete. Fiber reinforcement will be added to further reduce random cracking.
Concrete Cracks
BUILDLUX LLC does not expect random cracks to occur but BUILDLUX LLC Does not warrant this pavement to be totally crack free. We anticipate the stress the new concrete is
subjected to and install expansion joints and tooled joints to minimize cracking. We will repair concrete cracks only if the crack is greater than ¼” wide or ¼” in vertical displacement. Repair of concrete cracks with caulk is acceptable.
Color & Appearance
Concrete colors represented on printed flyers are just an approximation of results and
should not be trusted for judging the final color of your concrete. Despite best efforts, minor surface discoloration can still occur. Variations in slump, cement type and brand, color variations in the cement or aggregates, finished texture, timing of operations, curing or forming methods, and the choice of release agents or surface treatments will each produce distinct, though in most cases slight, variations in apparent color. Exterior concrete color can be affected by factors beyond our control such as humidity and other weather conditions and the age of the concrete can result in color changes. These changes are natural and not covered by warranty. If you are concerned as to what the final color and texture will be, we suggest that you have a pre-approved, cured jobsite mockup done.
