Concrete
stamping is a process whereby regular concrete is made to look amazingly like other
natural building materials. It is accomplished by pouring fresh concrete, then coloring
and impressing a pattern on it before it sets. This is done through the use of specialized
concrete coloring agents and rubber stamping mats which come in a wide variety of
patterns.
While the concrete is still wet, a coloring agent is applied to color the slab. After the concrete sets a bit, a colored antiquing release is spread evenly over the surface and a textured pattern is stamped into the slab with the rubber mats (photo on right). When the concrete sets thoroughly, the excess release agent is washed off, the control joints are cut, and the slab is cleaned and sealed.
