Stamped Concrete
Concrete is one of the most dependable and versatile construction substances around, and if you’ve not been paying attention to this option, or considering its use in your property, then you’re very likely missing out on huge value and utility. Stamped concrete is a variation of regular concrete, and is becoming increasingly popular – even though it’s already a commonly used product. At Outdoor Kitchen Columbus OH, we’re experienced in the creation of structures and installations using stamped concrete, and we’re sure that you’ll be pleased with the results if you trust in our service. There’s further information listed on this page regarding this service, but you can also find out more by speaking to one of our customer service representatives.
Explaining Stamped Concrete It’s very likely that one time or another, you’ve come across stamped concrete – though you may not realize it. Stamped concrete is where you have regular concrete that is embossed or patterned to give it some extra visual flair. It might be done in such a way that it looks like another material (a mimicry effect), or it could be just to add a pattern. While regular concrete offers a plain and professional look, stamped concrete is ideal for settings where a little more personality is required. It can be used in lots of settings and structures, which makes it ideal for us and our outdoor living-scape designs and installations. The Installation Process So, how exactly is stamped concrete created, and how are the installations carried out? The process is pretty straightforward for our experienced team. We start off by pouring the concrete, and then mixing in the primary color. Once this is done, the color release agent is applied and texturizing mats are laid onto the top of the surface. Then we wait for the mixture to dry, and following this, we clean off the color release agent. After all these steps are completed, a sealant is then applied to protect the surface effect from harm. Generally, the surface can take foot traffic after 48 hours. Practical Quality One of the major advantages of getting stamped concrete is that you’ll retain all of the classic qualities and characteristics that are available with regular concrete – but you don’ have to sacrifice the look of the installation that you’re creating. We can give you an attractive stamped concrete patio that will fit in perfectly with your outdoor kitchen appliances and general design, and it’ll still stand up to precipitation, foot traffic, drops and spills, and so much more. That kind of rounded performance is really difficult to find. Varied Aesthetics When you make the decision to go with stamped concrete, you gain access to a broad array of visual options – and you’re pretty much unlimited in what you go for in terms of color and pattern. We can create an aesthetic that copies another material (with stone paving effects a common choice), or we can come up with something brand new based on your directions. |
