Variety
There are just so many patterns to choose from with concrete stamping that you can find it overwhelming to determine the best design for your house. Don't worry because we can help you with this task.
Base Color and Release Powder Color
We generally limit the color pallet that we use for concrete stamping to just two. There will be a base color that will be used for the body and the second color will serve as an accent and give it a classic look. In most cases, the base color is lighter than the release powder color. Another coloring method that can be used is acid staining which can give your concrete a different vibrant look.
Patterns
There are a lot of patterns available to choose from, but the most requested patterns are cobblestone, brick, stone, and textured skins. If none of these pleases you, we can definitely particular order the pattern you want to suit your style.
Borders
If you want to give your concrete a more refined and polished look, installing a border around the concrete will do the trick. Although adding borders can mean more extended duration of the project and added expense, it can surely make your concrete look more beautiful.
Low Maintenance
If there is one thing about stamped concrete that we like, it doesn't require too much upkeep. The only maintenance necessary to keep it in good condition is crack repair and resealing every few years. Resealing is essential to keep the coating that shuts moisture out intact. Also, it should be done to protect the concrete from wearing off over the years of use. Other construction materials need more maintenance including sanding and weeding. Stamped concrete makes it impossible for weeds to grow.
Versatility
Stamped concrete is not exclusive for pathways. You can use for your driveways, patios, pool decks, and porches. It is also possible to use stamped concrete on your home interior where other products can't be used.
Ease of Installation
Stamped concrete is easy to install that is part of the reasons why it is a popular choice among many homeowners. The procedure only involves three steps including pouring, stamping, and sealing. Unlike other materials that need to be carefully laid down and cut, stamped concrete starts out as a liquid. Therefore it can take on the shape of the mold it is poured into.
Stamping on Existing Surfaces
If you have existing concrete that you want to revive, stamped concrete is the best way to go about it. With stamped concrete, there is no need to demolish your old driveway or patio to complete the job. We can add an extra layer over the previous concrete and apply stamped concrete on the fresh layer while it is still wet.
Your concrete doesn't have to look dull and lifeless. We can make it durable, yet beautiful with stamped concrete. We can give you that peace of mind that your concrete will look the way you want it for a price that you can afford.
