A Guide to Stamped Concrete

Is it customizable?

Stamped concrete is highly customizable. You can choose both the pattern and color of your material so it matches your style preferences. Pattern options might include flagstone, cobblestone, limestone, slate, and more. Color options might range from light gray to turquoise or walnut. Unlike other materials, you can make it fit perfectly into your home’s design.

How is it installed?

First, concrete is poured into forms of the desired shape. Color is either cast on the surface or added to the mixture. Next, a release agent is applied so that pattern stamps can be easily removed. Pattern stamps are applied to sections of the surface until the whole area is covered.

The surface should dry for around 24 hours. After that, the release agent is washed off and sealer is applied.
