Special Features of Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete is quickly becoming one of the more popular surfaces chosen by homeowners when putting in exterior patios and walkways, as well as new interior floors. But what are some of the features that set stamped concrete apart from other surfaces, like stone, brick, or wood? We've gathered a few and detailed them below.

Less Maintenance. Stamped concrete doesn't require as much maintenance in order to keep the surface looking good.

Can Resist Stains. When stamped concrete is installed, it's usually covered with an acrylic sealer that not only protects it from stains, but also adds color.

Tough to crack. With regular maintenance, and when combined with the special installation techniques used for stamped concrete, this surface can stand up to cracks better than normal concrete.

In addition to these features, there are also some of the more well-known perks to using stamped concrete in a design -- namely, the fact that the surface can be made to emulate a number of other surface materials, including brick, stone, and even wood.
