STAMPED

ConCreate®: Stamped

ConCreate®: Stamped mixes are used in the process of adding texture and color to make concrete resemble stone, brick, slate, cobblestone, barn-board and many other products. This limitless array of possibilities with costs that are lower than the actual products, makes stamped concrete the preferred choice.

Stamped concrete is created by compressing the top surface of concrete to inlay a design or pattern. As a result of this compression, the top layer of concrete has a lower air content and is subject to a higher risk of freeze-thaw damage.

IDEAL FOR:

  • Pool decks
  • Driveways
  • Patios and walkways
  • Interior floors
  • Gardens and landscape

BENEFITS:

  • Unlimited creative design capabilities
  • Improved aesthetics
  • Compatible with ConCreate® Color Series
  • Conforms to an unlimited variety of shapes and surface textures including the traditional look of slate, tile, brick and cobblestone

Mayco Mix guarantees that the supplied concrete will meet the specified properties in accordance with CSA. ABC Concrete is not responsible for freeze-thaw damage as a result of the installation process including the top layer of stamped concrete.
