How the pattern is made
Stamped concrete is plain concrete finished to look like stone, brick or wood. Color goes in the mix or on the surface, a release agent dusts the wet concrete so the stamps do not stick, and rubber mats are pressed in to leave the pattern. The release powder stays in the low spots and gives the stone its antique shading. The slab is washed, dried and sealed.
Patterns and colors
| Pattern | Looks like | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ashlar slate | Irregular cut stone | Hides small flaws well |
| Random stone | Natural flagstone | Forgiving on slopes |
| Cobblestone | Old paving | Busy; good on small areas |
| Herringbone brick | A woven brick | Long straight lines show settlement |
| Wood plank | Weathered boards | Long lines, same caution |
| Fan | Curved fan segments | Formal, decorative |
The home page visualizer lets you try a pattern and color together. On a real slab, color varies from batch to batch and with the weather on pour day, so a sample slab in your own light is the honest check.
Heat, grip and sealer
Dark colors get hotter in direct sun. A sealer gives sheen and protects the color, and a sealed surface can be slippery when wet; a grip additive in the sealer or a broom finish on steps and slopes helps. Sealer wears and is renewed as a maintenance step; how often depends on traffic, sun and the product, and the sealer's label gives the interval.
Stamped, paver or plain?
A stamped slab costs more than a plain slab and often less than natural stone or pavers; a cracked panel is repaired and the pattern is hard to match, while a single paver can be lifted and replaced. Plain broom concrete is the cheapest, most forgiving choice.
