Stamped Concrete
Texture pressed into fresh concrete while it is still plastic, so a poured slab comes out looking like stone, brick or timber — with none of the joints a paved surface has to have.
About Stamped Concrete
The slab is poured, coloured with a release and a hardener, then stamped with textured mats before it sets. What comes out is a single monolithic surface with the pattern of a laid one: no sand joints for weeds to find, no individual units to settle or lift, and none of the maintenance a block-paved driveway needs after a few seasons.
Pattern and colour are agreed from a sample panel poured on site, because the release colour and the base shade combine differently outdoors than they do on a sample board. The finished surface is sealed, and a slip-resistant additive goes into the sealer wherever the area gets wet — around a pool, at an entrance, on a ramp.
Where It Is Used
- Driveways, paths and courtyards
- Pool surrounds and terraces
- Landscaped areas and walkways
- Hotel and villa entrances
- Public realm and plaza paving
