Stampcrete utilizes
cement to create a surface, which is both
decorative and functional.
A combination of colors and
special tools are used to permanently imprint
newly placed concrete. Detailed brick, slate,
flagstone, stone, tile, and even wood patterns
can be simulated in a variety of colors
and authentic looking textures at a fraction
of the cost of comparable natural materials.
It can be applied to almost
any newly placed horizontal concrete surface.
Complex designs incorporating
steps, courtyards, and fountains can also
be achieved.
Stamped concrete can also
be blended with other decorative concrete
elements such as exposed aggregate finishes
and acid-etch staining.
The resulting finishes
combine beauty and creativity with the economy,
durability, and practicality of concrete.
