Stamped concrete, also known as pattered or imprinted concrete can be “stamped” to look like brick, stone, tile, wood, slate, stone, or flagstone. Stamped concrete is a colored mixture of concrete that is laid and then textured or stamped to resemble another form of flooring such as wood, flagstone, brick or tile. This patterning of the concrete allows users to lay a solid and relatively cheap material but which can easily and beautifully resemble other materials. Stamped concrete can be used for sidewalks, paths, walkways, driveways, pool decks, patios, and floors. Because of its more readily available materials, it is a cheaper and oftentimes quicker option.
There are three main processes that make stamped concrete Dallas different from other concrete uses. The first process, which differentiates stamped concrete from other concrete, is that when using concrete for the purpose of decoration in stamping a base color is added making it similar to the color of the material it will resemble. Later an accent color is added, increasing the similarity of the concrete to the resembled material. Finally, the actual process of stamping the concrete to look exactly like the “copied” material puts the finishing touches on the concrete and differentiates the stamped concrete from any other concrete use yet provides the user with a much longer lasting pavement.
The choice to use stamp concrete Dallas is a great idea because it offers a long-lasting, beautiful surface. Instead of the gray concrete that you might think of, which offers the user durability and longevity, stamped concrete offers the user both of those great qualities of concrete but with unlimited potential for design and use. Without the high prices of artisan stone, wood, brick, or tile, well-laid and high quality stamped concrete can resemble any surface for a fraction of the price.
