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

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