Re: Coral homes - Marcoola - Pimpama 443Mar 27, 2017 3:30 pm butters7388 what sort of driveway are you getting? exposed agg or coloured? Exposed aggregate the black and white mix it's called Eclipse by Boral... or Tuxedo by other companies. Basically it's 50/50 black and white rock. When I left it was still wet... I couldn't see the rocks at all I hope that's normal.... maybe the rocks appear as it sets? M A R C O O L A 3 2 - Coral homes Re: Coral homes - Marcoola - Pimpama 444Mar 27, 2017 3:33 pm You see the rocks after they pressure hose the top layer off I think? We are going for a "salt and pepper" mix with ours, I think 70/30 black to white. Re: Coral homes - Marcoola - Pimpama 446Mar 27, 2017 5:43 pm I wanted a black and white mix, but the rocks would have been too sharp. I like washing my car barefeet so I settled for Grey and White with some browny/orange where the Riverstone were more founded and Kinder to my feet. Your driveway is gonna look awesome!

Just waiting on a dry day to seal the driveway! it's going to to look fabulous sealed! No one on our street has sealed there's... are any of you planing to seal yours?

Yep had mine sealed by the driveway guy Coral Homes Avoca 25 in Gainsborough Greens Gold Coast Viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81406 Oh great!! You like the sealed look Von?? Personally I love it too, I was shocked to see so many homes with beautiful driveways and not sealed... I guess it's an extra task, extra money and even longer you can't drive on it, so I understand it probably a bit of a hassle. I definately want it too look mint for years to come my other half is sealing ours... did it cost you much to have the concrete man do it?

I think we both got the same driveway and mine is sealed as well Re: Coral homes - Marcoola - Pimpama 458Mar 30, 2017 3:19 pm Oooh loving the driveway!! This might sound silly but what is the difference between a sealed vs not sealed driveway? Does it look different?

Follow my build - Newlyweds First Home - Hallmark Homes Coomera QLD https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Thanks huni! So a sealed driveway will remain and even colour. Most have a shine or gloss in it, so it kind of has that dark, clean, wet look to the driveway. Without sealant the cement becomes water marked and supports mould and other microbial growth and residue chemical build up. You don't see the tire track marks on the driveway and less likely getting oil staining due to the barrier preventing absorption. This is my understand and basic explanation.... I have seen sealed driveways and they stand out against non sealed, especially as the driveway ages... M A R C O O L A 3 2 - Coral homes Re: Coral homes - Marcoola - Pimpama 460Mar 30, 2017 6:56 pm Thank you, I was wondering the difference too love the colour you chose! Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14195 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4377 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 76154 |
