Frequently Asked Questions

What is stamped concrete?

Stamped concrete is where Stamp mats, Colour Hardener 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.
