Introduction to Stamped Concrete

This is one of the original decorative concrete methods to add a pattern or texture into a freshly placed concrete slab.

There is a reason this finish has created a concrete revolution.

Stamped concrete allows the addition of color, patterns, borders, inlays and custom design thereby changing the way we look and use concrete forever!

With standard patterns mimicking tile, stone, rock, wood and other textures surfaces, stamped concrete allows a large area to be functionally decorated while maintaining the integrity of concrete itself.

The Process of Stamped Concrete

Stamped Concrete is the process of pressing decorative or natural impressions into wet concrete using rubber stamps. This is a great way to add a unique flair to your driveway, pool deck, patio, walkway or walls.

There are many benefits to using stamped concrete. Concrete is one of the most durable building materials available for paving, which comes in handy in high traffic areas such as driveways and walkways.

Choosing stamped concrete over other paving materials such as natural stone can be a more economical choice. Done right, stamped concrete can look just as high quality as these other methods. For instance, a stamped concrete job can be installed in a portion of the time as natural materials takes, which allows contractors to be more productive.

The biggest advantage to stamped concrete is the flexibility. Concrete stamping, combined with different finishing techniques, allows for unlimited design opportunities such as aged cobblestones, brickwork, flagstones, slate tile, marble, granite, wood, or just about any natural surface.
