What
is Concrete Stamping?
Concrete
stamping is a process that involves "stamping" or "imprinting" three
dimensional patterns into colored concrete with special stamping
tools. When the stamping is complete, the product is then sealed,
highlighting the colors and providing greater stain and weather
resistance. The result is a surface that combines the beauty
of masonry with the durability of concrete.

Stamped pattern concrete
is an up-to-date method of concrete construction. Various
coloring agents are available to give a natural and realistic look
of old stone, slate, or even wood planks. The chosen pattern is imprinted
into the concrete to produce texture and pattern. There are numerous
designs available for use on residential and commercial projects. Stamped
pattern concrete is a versatile product, and the design is limited
only by your imagination. This method is a distinctive architectural
element and adds a beautiful addition to your investment.
Applications for
stamped patterned concrete are virtually unlimited. We offer an extensive
variety of colors, patterns and textures, as well as any custom colors
or designs you may desire. Decorative concrete is used in both
indoor and outdoor applications. Its combined beauty and strength make
it the ideal product, providing significant savings over the cost of
hand-laid brick, stone or tile.

Did
You Know?
Stamped
pattern concrete is stronger than conventional concrete because
of the color-hardening agents, reaching surface strength of
7,000lbs psi.
Another
benefit of decorative concrete over real stone, brick, and
pavers is that grass cannot grow through the grout lines, and
there are no broken stones or old grout to replace.
