Imprinted concrete driveways cracking

Question

Are imprinted concrete driveways prone to cracking?

Jordan · Answer

Not if done correctly although I would advise a fully permeable resin system if budget allowed.

Ollie · Answer

Yes because the sub base will always move no matter what even ever so slightly. I’d go for either block pavings or resin bound.

Harjinder · Answer

It is mostly happened when base is not solid and screeding properly or no good quality material

Carl · Answer

No  as long as they have expansion joints in them they should not crack

Jeremy · Answer

Yes they are if they’ve not had the structural stress fracture expansion gaps installed. Concrete will move with the land beneath it and should move with the expansion joints if installed correctly.

John · Answer

Yes if it's not layed to a depth of 6 or 7 inches and the foundation has to be solid

Michael · Answer

Imprinted concrete driveways, on the other hand, typically only last up to years. Interestingly, the reason for their shorter lifespan is also the reason they are so popular: the process involves a single layer of concrete, poured on a sub-base. It's quick, easy, affordable.

Fred · Answer

It will if  sub base isn’t thick enough. So go for bounded  and make a real  good base should be fine  remember everything cracks. At some stage  so plenty of years  on  should be good for that .
