Re-seal of existing stamped concrete

Stamped concrete, commonly referred to as patterned concrete,
is concrete that is designed to resemble brick, slate, flagstone,
stone, tile and even wood. In this section you will see how
stamped concrete can be used to beautify pool decks, driveways,
entries and courtyards, and patios.
Due to the wide array of concrete patterns and colors avail-
able, and the cost of stamped concrete in relation to the materials
it is a substitute for the choice of stamped concrete is becoming
more popular and frequent. Colors and patterns for stamped
concrete are often chosen to blend with other stone, tile or pat-
terned concrete elements at the residence.
Complex designs incorporating steps, courtyards, and fountains
can be achieved. Stamped concrete can also be blended with
other decorative concrete elements such as exposed aggregate
finishes and acid-etch staining, along with a particular pattern,
such as running bond brick, hexagonal tile, worn rock or stone.
Concrete provides the perfect canvas for creating an economical
replica of more expensive materials, and yet still maintaining a
very natural, authentic look.

In the past, imprinted concrete was usually limited to a masor
scoring a flagstone-like design freehand, or embedding sticks
leaves and even coffee cans into the surface to achieve a desire(
effect.
Today, the leading edge of concrete is a process called pattern-
stamping. This process involves "stamping" or "impressing" threE
dimensional patterns into colored concrete with special stampini
tools. When the stamping is complete, the product is then sealed
highlighting the colors and providing greater stain and weather
resistance. The result is a surface that combines the beauty o
masonry with the durability of concrete.
Some of the most common pattern choices include but arE
not limited to: slate, brick, granite, cobblestone, tile, flagstone
seamless texture, and more.
It is also a common practice to use multiple patterns and col-
ors together with custom bandwork, edges, and centerpieces. LikE
all forms of decorative concrete workmanship, the design choice!
are only limited by your design tastes.
