Advantages of Stamping Concrete: Limitless design options Can be made to look like brick, stone, wood and more Stamp concrete indoors or out Lower labor and material cost Complete any project in a fraction of the time Lasting Durability: Concrete lasts for years and requires low maintenance Project: Replace existing service entrance with a decorative concrete walkway. Site Work (0:52) 9' x 18' (2.7m x 5.5m) area will be excavated, complying with local building requirements. Spray paint is used to lay out the perimeter of the excavation area. A backhoe is used to excavate jobsite. Base of the excavated area is compacted with a plate compactor. A base of crushed stone is spread evenly over excavated area. Stone is compacted to provide a firm base. Wood is used to create the form walls to contain the poured concrete. Formwork is now ready to pour concrete. Concrete Pour (1:51) Please consult your local building and regulation codes for your area. 3000 PSI Ready-Mix Concrete is poured. A Mag Trowel is used to level the surface. To ensure the pour is level, an aluminum screed is used. A Bull Float is used to smooth the surface. Applying the Color Hardener and Release (2:33) A color hardener is applied to the entire slab surface. A Bull Float is used to work the pigment into the top layer of the slab. Edges are smoothed by hand with a trowel. The slab is allowed to partially cure until the surface becomes "elastic." Do not let concrete fully cure. Texturing the Concrete with PMC-780 Stamps (3:03) A release agent is applied to the concrete slab to help facilitate the removal of the rubber stamps. Rubber stamps are brought to the jobsite. Release agent is also applied to the rubber stamps. Stamps are aligned to the square edge of the slab. Additional rubber stamps are placed to form an interlocking pattern. A hand tamper is used to imprint the pattern into the "elastic" concrete. After being tamped, the rubber stamp is removed to expose the detail. A Texture Wheel is used to touch up the grout lines. Properly cared for, PMC-780 rubber stamps will last for many years. An antiquing pigment is applied. This gives an aged look to the concrete. PMC-780 stamps are durable yet flexible enough to be used around obstacles. The remainder of the slab is covered with the antiquing pigment. The slab is allowed to cure for 2 days. A sealer is applied to the entire surface and allowed to dry. Finishing Touches (5:12) Wood forms are removed. Slab is back-filled with dirt. Plants and mulch are placed.
