1. BASIC
THINGS TO
KNOW ABOUT
STAMPED
CONCRETE

2. WHAT IS
STAMPED
CONCRETE
Stamped concrete or Decorative concrete is
concrete that has been shaped, patterned, and
coloured to resemble
something other than just plain concrete. This
shaping is generally done with moulds and
stamps that are pressed into the wet concrete
before it dries. Stamped concrete can be
shaped to resemble a huge number of other
building materials including brick, natural
stone,
ceramic tile, or even wood. It is ideal for
beautifying driveways, patios, pool decks,
walkways, and any other concrete surface.

5. PROCESS
Place the concrete. Concrete should be no
less than four inches thick.
Add color. The color is added either in the
mixer or after concrete placement. The first
method is called "integral coloring" and the
second method is called "broadcast or
surface coloring." Broadcast coloring involves
evenly spreading dry color across the surface
of the concrete.
Apply release agent. Release agent allows the
texturizing mats to come off without taking
off the concrete.

6. PROCESS
4. Lay mats. Texturizing mats are laid in
succession. Since there are usually not enough
mats to cover the entire surface, when one is
finished it is applied to another area of the
concrete.
5. Sprinkle water curing for 5-7 days.
6. Pressure wash the release agent off.
7. Clear sealing.

7. PROS
The development of stamped concrete has taken those hard,
plain slabs and given them a beautiful face lift! Stamped
concrete adds value to your home and is aesthetic as well as
being a durable and long term solution for your backyard.
1.Aesthetics: You will never suffer from lack of
choices when choosing colors, patterns and textures
for your patio. Earth tones are the most popular for
your patio color scheme. Going with a natural look
will be guaranteed to never go out of style or fall out
like a fad. While there are many patterns to choose
from, your landscape designer will look to your home,
and the size of your patio for cohesion and
inspiration. Stamped concrete has succeeded in
mimicking almost any hardscape surface from slate
to natural stone.

8. PROS
2.Installation: Because stamped concrete is one
continuous form, it is seen as a less labor intensive option
to the installation of concrete pavers. Concrete pavers
are hauled and individually placed in a pattern by hand,
whereas stamped concrete is mixed, poured and formed
by stamp templates.
3.Cost Effective Alternative: Stamped concrete,
compared to brick or concrete pavers is an economical
way to extend your outdoor living space. While some
stamped concrete does not require a seal, some clients
prefer a sealed surface, which will give it a wet look but
will be protected from the elements and offer slip
resistance. With stamped concrete being a more
economical choice upfront, if you choose to seal the
surface, you will be committed to resealing it every 3-5
years.

9. PROS
4.Maintenance: Because stamped concrete is one
continuous piece of concrete, you will not have to
worry about weeds growing through the joints, as you
would with concrete pavers. Concrete pavers also run
the risk of separating and heaving with the
freeze/thaw of our winter seasons, but with stamped
concrete you won’t have to worry about an unsettled
surface.

10. CONS
1.Aesthetics: While stamped concrete closely resembles
other hardscape materials such as slate and natural stone, it
is still just a simulation. Stamped concrete is an attractive
solution for a patio, but it is hardly ever mistaken for the real
deal.
2.Cracking: If it has been said once, it has been said a
thousand time, is not if the concrete will crack but when the
concrete will crack. Being that stamped concrete is one
continuous hardscape without room for movement, the relief
joints that are saw cut into the surface are very important.
The relief joints are a predicted guideline for the cracks to
follow. Not all relief joints can be blended into your stamped
concrete pattern. There is a chance that these joints will be
obvious within your patio.

11. CONS
3.Color Matching: If for some reason your stamped concrete
patio suffers damage and chips, it is very hard to match the
original color for your repair. Stamped concrete patios are
colored in a phased process when installed, and to recreate
that color layering exactly is near impossible.
