What is stamped concrete?

and Release Agent are used to imprint a pattern into the surface of 'freshly
placed' concrete to simulate rock, slate or stone.
Is Stamped Concrete suitable for all areas?
Due to the surface finish of
Stamped Concrete, it is not recommended for steep sloping pavements or
anywhere that may be subject to potential slip hazards. If you require a
higher slip resistant surface a Stencil Pattern Concrete should be considered.

What is the maintenance
required for stamped concrete?
Apart from the usual cleaning requirements
of a decorative surface, it is recommended the surface is released every
twelve to twenty four months (depending on in-service conditions).
What
are the advantages of sealing?
Sealing a stamped surface aids cleanability
by helping reduce the level of dirt ingress into the concrete.
How much
does it cost?
The cost of installation depends on your requirements and
the preparation needed. Therefore, quotes are provided by applicators
on a case-by-case basis. Contact details of experienced independent
applicators in your area can be provided. Please contact

Is Stamped Concrete for the DIY installer?

Concrete is not recommended for the DIY market. Specific preparation must
be undertaken so that the concrete is placed in a manner which will ensure
durability. It is therefore recommended that a licensed concrete
contractor be employed.
