Pattern Imprinted Concrete is one of the building industry's success stories of recent years and Merseyside Driveways have played no small part in bringing this about. Merseyside Driveways have introduced our "Specialised One Day Training Course" where teams attend individually, by appointment Course Hours: 8:45 - 16:00

Course Agenda: Morning Session A brief history of Pattern Imprinting including a video presentation. Step by step guide to installing, colouring and stamping a concrete slab using video and slide presentations. Importance of site preparation and the layout of formwork. The specification of the high strength R/M concrete mix design used in Pattern Imprinting, including the use of Fibre and Air-Entrainer. Correct positioning of control joints and expansion joints, the use of isolation joints and the correct jointing of the slab is so important. Importance of the correct placing, compacting, finishing, printing and sealing of the concrete slab. The team will then enter the practical session. Each person will have a small sample slab to prepare for stamping, first by roller tamping and floating, then the correct application of colour hardener and release in preparation for the final stamping. We also include if requested a sample of Stencilcrete

Course Agenda: Afternoon Session : We continue the practical session showing the correct procedure when washing off and sealing the surface using previously finished samples We will then show the Imprinting process by stamping the samples prepared in the morning session, plus showing the removal of the stencil A final session in the classroom dealing with any questions on the practical and theoretical aspects of producing and stenciling concrete. Cost for the day for a team of up to 3 people is £275.00 (£60 for each extra team member) For overseas visitors - we are only 30 minutes from Liverpool Airport and 40 minutes from Manchester Airport.
