Stamped Concrete Augusta GA

Concrete has been used in construction for hundreds of years. The strength and durability that it offers provide strong and stable foundations. Since then, however, concrete has been used in a variety of ways and no longer is limited to the plain grey and cold color we might be used to seeing. Stamped concrete offers the best of both worlds. The strength and durability that concrete has to offer with a unique design element. From bespoke designs to mimicking textures such as wood or tile. Stamped concrete offers home and business property owners the opportunity to customize their space without compromising on strength and quality.

What is stamped concrete?

Stamped concrete, also known as decorative concrete, imprinted concrete, or textured concrete, is concrete that has been specially molded and dyed to recreate the look and feel of another material, such as stone, wood, or tile. It is produced in the following way: the concrete is mixed, and specialized dyes are introduced to the mix to create a base color. The concrete is then laid in its desired form (deck, patio, floor, etc) and, whilst it is still wet, is stamped by a mold that provides the texture of the desired material that is being replicated. Further dyes, tints, or stains are applied to provide further detail and enhance the look of the concrete form. Once the desired look and feel are achieved, the concrete is sealed to prevent discoloration, fading, chipping, and general wear. 

Why choose stamped concrete? 

A concrete form can last upwards of fifty years if provided the proper care and maintenance. For this reason, it is considered superior to other materials, such as wood, which offer life expectancies of around fifteen years. Despite being harder-wearing than most other materials, the look and feel of stamped concrete offer the same aesthetic value as the materials which it replicates. This means that your investment in stamped concrete will provide you with a higher return than other options, given its superior lifespan. 

The benefits of stamped concrete

As we have mentioned above, concrete is a harder wearing material than other options when investing in a new structure, such as a deck. The time between investment and re-investment is not the only monetary benefit, however. Because concrete is harder wearing than other materials, it requires considerably less ongoing maintenance than other materials. Besides this, concrete is, generally, more affordable than other materials, takes little time to install, and provides you with a seemingly endless list of design options.
