20150158201 | DECORATED CONCRETE PRODUCTS - Methods and apparatus for creating a decorative surface on concrete products are disclosed. Material used to create the decorative surface can comprise one or more of various types of decorative aggregates. The chosen aggregate pieces or particles are attached to a thin, flexible substrate by a suitable glue. The reverse or backside of the thin, flexible substrate is attached to the form face of a concrete form prior to concrete being poured. After concrete is poured in a manner careful not to dislodge the glued on aggregate, and the concrete sets, the form is removed. The glue that previously held the aggregate to the substrate is re emulsified, releasing the aggregate. This leaves the aggregate embedded in the concrete. Excess glue and any substrate particles can be removed by spraying the exposed decorative aggregate surface with a suitable reagent, such as water. | 06-11-2015 |
