Stamped Concrete is one of those trends that is going to stay.
Stamped concrete is one of the best ways to cover large or small areas of ground or flooring with a realistic and functional finish. Stamped concrete recreates the look of stone, rock, brick, pebble, wood and other custom patterns.
The beauty of a stamped concrete finish is that it can be done on slopes, uneven ground and hilly areas. Concrete is fluid and will contour and follow the surface that it is applied to. Keeping in mind that the surface or ground preparation is critical for a long lasting crack resistant installation.
What is Stamped Concrete?
Stamped concrete is a slab of concrete often used for driveways, walk-ways, patios, pool decks flooring etc, that is embossed with both patterns and textures onto its surface before it fully hardens and dries.
Before the advent of concrete Stamp mats, a lesser form of stamped concrete (sometimes still used today), was often used by simply imprinting a pattern but with no texture. Todays stamped concrete has texture, color and depth that gives it a very realistic look, feel and finish. Typical patterns for stamped concrete include pebble, stone, cobblestone, brick, pavers, flagstone, wood plank with grain, sea floor and shells, and many more.
