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.
Stamped Concrete may be used on driveways, patios, commercial roads and parking lots and even interior floors.
Stamped Impression Concrete is ideal for newly placed driveways, carports, entertainment areas, pool surrounds, patios, paths and other pavement areas. Proven world wide as a winner for its durability, competitive pricing, speed of application and added aesthetic value, Stamped Impression Concrete will create a lasting impression!
The Decorative Concrete system involves the application of colour, pattern and texture to a plain concrete slab at the time of pouring. Stamped Impression Concrete can increase the abrasive and compressive strength up to twice that of normal concrete when colour hardeners are used.
Rubber imprinting tools stamps are impressed into thin pre-mixed concrete overlay material to create natural stone or brick textures. These rubber imprinting tools are manufactured from molds created from authentic stone or wood. Release agents are used to help release the stamps from the concrete without sticking. Release agents come in either a liquid or powder form.
Colours and patterns can be seen through both CP Stampcrete and DT Fauxtex Range below.
Design tip: combining stamp mats will allow you to create a unique look. If you wish to create a stamped impression look on a driveway with a steep incline or sloping sight, we recommend using a finish with a textured slip resistant surface.
