What Is Stamped Concrete?
Stamped concrete is poured just like regular concrete, but while it's still soft, molds or "stamps" are pressed into the surface to create patterns. After stamping, it's usually colored and sealed to enhance the look and protect the surface.
Key Features: Looks like: Brick, flagstone, cobblestone, tile, wood planks, etc.
Used for: Driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, even interior floors. Customizable: You can choose color, texture, and pattern to fit your style.
Benefits of Stamped Concrete:
- Feature Benefit Cost-effective Cheaper than using real stone, tile, or brick.
- Durable Long-lasting and resistant to weather, traffic, and wear.
- Low maintenance Easier to clean than real stone or pavers (no weeds or joints).
- Custom look Wide range of patterns, textures, and colors available.
- All-in-one surface No loose pieces like pavers — it’s one solid, sealed slab.
Things to Consider: Slippery when wet: Use a non-slip additive in the sealer. Can crack: Like all concrete, it can crack over time — control joints help manage this. Needs sealing: Apply a sealer every 2–3 years to maintain color and protect from stains. Harder to repair: If it cracks or gets damaged, matching the pattern and color can be tricky.
Today, the leading edge of concrete is a process called pattern stamping. This process involves “stamping” or “impressing” three dimensional patterns into coloured concrete with special stamping tools. When the stamping is complete, the product is then sealed, highlighting the colours and providing greater stain and weather resistance. The result is a surface that combines the beauty of masonry with the durability of concrete.
Some of the most common pattern choices include but are not limited to: slate, brick, granite, cobblestone, tile, flagstone, seamless texture, and more. It is also a common practice to use multiple patterns and colours together with custom edges, and centrepieces.
Colours and patterns for stamped concrete are often chosen to blend with other stone or tile elements at the residence. Complex designs incorporating steps, courtyards, and fountains can be achieved. Stamped concrete can also be blended with other decorative concrete elements such as exposed aggregate finishes.
