Decorative, Stamped & Colored Concrete
So many choices to improve the look and curb appeal of your home. In addition to standard concrete options
decorative, stamped & colored concrete all provide stunning results. The stamps themselves are modeled directly from
the material they impersonate – be that stones, tiles, bricks or even wood.
C & A can walk you through your options for concrete work on driveways, sidewalks, patios, fire pit slabs & more.
Driveways
The drive up to your home is a great way to improve the look and curb appeal of any property.
Sidewalks
Pictured here is a recent job replacing an older sidewalk that utilized pavers. We dresssed this one up with decorative,
stamped & colored concrete that looks like an expensive brick.
What is it?
Essentially, stamped concrete is exactly what it sounds like! After being poured, stamping tools are used to add a finish to the wet concrete
before it is allowed to harden. In addition, a coloring agent is often also used to add a color or tint to the final product.
Mats made of vinyl are used to perform the stamping itself. They come in a variety of thicknesses to allow for stamping of various patterns into
the concrete. Further, where a stamp is designed to mirror a specific product (such as natural stone, brick or tile patterns) then the stamps will
be molded on these products themselves, allowing for a supremely realistic finish.
Color is also an important element of stamped concrete installation. After all, stamped concrete may have the appropriate shapes of any pattern
or design but without the addition of color, it just won’t look right!
Color finishes are usually applied as color compounds mixed into the concrete. With continuing advances in this field it is now possible to offer
near enough any kind of color or tint finishes. This could be a solid color to provide a real stand out design feature, or a more natural coloring to
mimic a product such as stone or even wood.
What are the Advantages?
Well first it should be stated that the coloring and stamping of concrete will not remove much of the traditional durability of concrete.
That being said, a stamped concrete surface will certainly benefit even more from the addition of an annual sealcoating. The sealcoating
process will help any concrete surface to give many years of service however for stamped concrete it carries the additional benefit of
protecting the color chemicals from weather damage, and also protecting the stamped surface from chipping.
Stamped concrete has dozens of applications, from driveways and patios through to paths and kitchen floors. Because of it’s durability it is
particularly well suited to installation in areas with high foot fall, making stamped concrete an excellent materiel for commercial applications,
such as a bar or restaurant.
For those concrete installations where you want the finest designed finishes, then stamped concrete may well be the product for you!
For example a stamped concrete patio uses vinyl stamping mats to add a textured finish, literally stamping it into the concrete before it sets,
but the same goes for any other surfaces, like driveways and pool decks. Further, we also add coloring agents to create stained concrete
and to ensure it sets with the specific color or tint that you want.
The stamps themselves are modeled directly from the material they impersonate – be that stones, tiles, bricks or even wood. This means
that stamped concrete provides an incredibly realistic finish – we’ll bet you’ve probably walked over stamped concrete in the past few days, and not
even realized what it was! It’s an economical way to achieve the finish of a material like stone or tiles – with a far quicker installation period,
and all the usual durability of concrete.
Decorative stamped concrete is the art of imprinting the concrete surface while it is still wet and pliable. This process requires highly skilled
craftsmen with an eye for detail. Stamped concrete is on the higher end of the price spectrum but is sure to set your property apart from others
and bring a long lasting investment dream to reality. The imprinted patterns are almost endless.
