Laser Engraving Vs. Sandblasted/Sand Carved) Bricks:
Often times when sandblasting, a filler is used, (paint, epoxy, ect.), to make the design standout/legible.
Elements like sunlight, acid rain, foot travel and other harsh weather conditions will cause deterioration of the filler product over time.
Since bricks are porous, moisture will get into the letters, and freeze-thaw cycles can reduce the longevity of the filler material.
Here are a few additional advantages to Laser Engrave LaserGrade Red Bricks/Pavers:
- LaserGrade Red Clay (Bricks/Street Paver) engraved bricks are permanent and will last a lifetime. The laser beam actually melts the clay and additive to the brick into glass, bonding the melted byproduct to the base material.
- Laser Engraving is considered a "Green" alternative! No fillers, solvents, paints or other materials are required when engraving LaserGrade Red Clay bricks/pavers.
- Laser Engraving bricks/pavers are low maintenance. An engraved brick/paver produces a smooth, hard and permanent mark. Dirt and debris can easily be washed away. The laser engraved mark will remain beautiful and clear for generations to come.
