This article is to make more people knowledgeable on stamped concrete and what it can be used for. Many may be questioning what stamped concrete is. Stamped concrete is simply concrete when poured that is textured and/or patterned or embellished so that it more looks like:
- Slate
- Brick
- Flagstone
- Tile
- Stone
- Wood
Stamped concrete is used for many types of projects such as:
- Patios
- Driveways
- Sidewalks
- Pool decks
- Interior flooring
This ability of stamped concrete to look like other materials for building makes it a less expensive option to use rather than those other materials such as slate, stone and brick.
Three ways
There are three ways used in stamped concrete that separatesthis concrete from other concrete procedures – these include:
- Addition of base color
- Addition of an accent color
- Stamping pattern into concrete
Backyard oasis
Stamped concrete is the perfect product to use when designing/building for example, a backyard oasis. Perhaps you have a swimming pool and a separate barbeque area. To bring these two together making an area in between for deck type loungers as well as an area for eating; stamped concrete is the perfect product. This is one of the best and less expensive ways to make the entire area a backyard oasis.
You can use stamped concrete with a color that matches both areas thus bringing these two areas together better. This makes a perfect type of oasis that is tailor-made for large or small backyard parties.
