in nature, cosmetic patching requires that the technicians have the
skills to replicate the appearance of concrete that is now damaged.
Material selection is based on curing, strength, additives, color-
correctness and texture. With the advent of colored concrete, stains,
tinted sealers, stamped concrete and other new finishes, cosmetic
patching these intricate objects becomes as much an art as it is a
science. The Truesdell Corporation is experienced with many of these
finishes and is up to the challenge of matching the next one. As in
this photo, many projects involve patching buildings that are 50 or
even 100 years old. Historic restoration is truly an art unto itself. |
