Do Concrete Pavers Fade?<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the most common questions people ask themselves when they’re considering installing concrete pavers is: “Do these become less durable over time?” The answer to this question depends entirely on who you ask! Some say no, while others claim it slightly changes their appearance. For example – if someone has a lot more traffic near them than usual because there was an event held close by then yes; however–the same could not be said for someone living in isolation far away from any major roads.<\/span><\/p>\n Do Concrete Pavers Fade Over time?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Concrete pavers are similar to concrete blocks, consisting of cement and aggregate. These pavers are formed in molds, through a vibration process that provides the combined materials with the density needed to make pavers. Over time, the hardening of the cement gives the units strength. Colors other than gray are achieved by adding pigments to the mixture of aggregate and cement.<\/span><\/p>\n Do They Fade?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The concrete paver is a durable and long-lasting material, but it can’t withstand the elements. Because the pigment that\u2019s added to a concrete paver is not inherent to the material, the color can fade, eventually exposing the color of the aggregate and perhaps resulting in a completely different change in color from the original color of the concrete paver. Dark pigments are often more likely to fade over time. This occurs regardless of whether you have installed epoxy coatings before installation thus resulting in replacing them every few years depending upon how much traffic walks on it annually<\/span><\/p>\n Advantages of Concrete Pavers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Disadvantages of Concrete Pavers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
