Does Concrete Engraving Add to the Thickness of the Concrete?
There is no thickness added when concrete/asphalt is engraved. Concrete stains permeate the surface of the concrete/asphalt and do not add to its thickness. The engraving routes down into the concrete/ashpalt surface and does not add any thickness to the concrete/asphalt. Added thickness to existing concrete/asphalt can cause water to run backwards into the garage (if the surface of the driveway has been raised). It can also interfere with garage doors opening. Added thickness should be a consideration for any system that goes on top of the concrete/asphalt.
