Stamped Concrete

Stamped Concrete is the process of adding texture and color to concrete to make it resemble stone, brick, slate, cobblestone and many other products found in nature including wood, fossils, shells and many more. This limitless array of possibilities combined with great durability and lower cost than natural products makes Stamped Concrete an easy choice for new construction and renovation projects.

The installation consists of pressing molds into the concrete while the concrete is still in its plastic state. Color is achieved by using Dry Shakes or Color Hardeners, Powder or Liquid Releases, Integral Colors or Acid Stains. All these products may be combined to create even more intricate designs.

History:

Stamped Concrete has been around for about 50 of years, what it started in the late 50's as a novelty product grew steadily until the mid 70's when stamped concrete experienced a huge growth spurt as more architects, contractors and designers became aware of its benefits, lower costs and natural beauty. Stamped Concrete caused a major stir when it was introduced at the World of Concrete in the mid '70s and since 1978 Decorative Concrete has been one of the show's major attractions.

In the beginning there were very few designs available, but as the industry grew and more companies got into the fray the choices multiplied exponentially. Today there are many tools and materials manufacturers and with the advent of additional coloring systems such as Acid Stains, Transparent Stains and Dyes the choices are even more numerous.

Stamped Concrete may be used on driveways, patios, commercial roads, parking lots and even interior floors.

Concrete Overlays

This application is one of the most elegant uses of our Decorative Concrete Overlay Polymer Cement products. This process provides the look and feel of stone, slate and various tile styles in a concrete surface.

Imagine being able to apply a 1/4" to 3/8" layer of polymer cement over an existing concrete surface (new pour or old deteriorated slab) then stamping the thin layered polymer cement material to give the permanent and realistic look of stone, slate and tile just like conventional stamped concrete.

Thin Stamped Overlays Rival Natural Stone in look and feel. Because this product is applied in a seamless fashion, there is no waste when making a pattern like there is with Tile. Each surface can be customized in style and shape to create a floor that is unique to each location. Colors are applied as a non-recative or Acid Stain version.
