Concrete Stamping
An easy and effective way to liven up your dull concrete is by using the concrete stamping method. An old and conventional concrete driveway can instantly look extraordinary thanks to concrete stamping. By adding pigment, patterns, and texture to the surface of your concrete, it can be mistaken as another high-quality material.
Many people have the misconception that concrete stamping is performed after the concrete hardens. However, the truth is, the entire process is completed while the concrete is still wet. With concrete stamping, there are endless possibilities when it comes to the decorative design of the concrete’s surface. It is even possible for you to make the surface resemble the look of other materials such as tile, wood, brick, and granite. Your imagination is the limitation.
There are significant advantages to using concrete stamping over other available construction material in the market.
Cost- While concrete stamping generally costs more than conventional concrete, it can’t be denied that it is way cheaper than other materials. Concrete can be made looking like other materials. You can get the look that you’ve always wanted for your concrete without the need to spend too much on the materials. It is also easier and less expensive to perform concrete stamping because it is initially transported in liquid form on site.
Variety– You do not have to settle with the standard concrete when you have concrete stamping as your option. No matter the texture, color, or pattern you desire, this method can help you achieve your desired results.
Base color and release powder color- In most cases, you can choose one pigment for the entire stamped concrete and another one as an accent or give it a more polished look. Generally, the base color has a more subtle shade than the release powder. If you want your stamped concrete to have a more natural appearance, it is best to limit the pallet to two colors. Another concrete coloring method that can give your concrete a decorative look is acid staining.
Patterns- There are several patterns to choose from when it comes to concrete stamping, but we make sure that we have the most demanded designs and patterns in the store. Whether it’s brick, natural stone, cobblestone, or textured skins, we got you covered. In any case, your preference is not on hand– we can order it for you.
Borders– Borders are a great option if you want to give your concrete a polished and clean look. We can effectively install a border in your stamped concrete and make it look even better. It may cost you more on one end, but with the distinct look it can provide your concrete, it will be worth it.
