Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete is a type of concrete that is textured or patterned to look like other types of materials, such as stone, brick, or slate. It is commonly used for patios, concrete driveways, and walkways. Stamped concrete is made by pouring wet concrete into a mould or form. The concrete is then textured or patterned using a stamping tool. The stamping tool comprises different shapes and sizes that create the desired texture or pattern.

Colouring Concrete

Stamped concrete is available in various colours and can be stained or dyed to create different looks like stone, brick, slate, cobblestone, and more. However, this is just one way to colour concrete.

Other ways of creating coloured concrete

Stencil concreting

Consider stencil concreting if you're looking for a unique and stylish way to update your home's exterior. This popular concrete finishing technique involves using a stencil to create patterns and designs in your concrete. Stencil concreting is a great way to add curb appeal to your home and make it stand out from the rest.

You can use stencil concreting to colour concrete in a shade that matches your home's exterior. When painting, use a roller or brush designed for use with concrete. This will ensure that your paint adheres properly and doesn't chip or peel.

Decorative concrete 

Decorative concrete is a type of concrete that is used to add an aesthetic touch to a home or business. It can be used for patios, concrete driveways, walkways, and indoor flooring. Decorative concrete is made when you add colour by adding pigment to the concrete mix.

Exposed aggregate concrete

If you're looking for a unique, stylish, and durable option for your concrete needs, exposed aggregate concrete is a great choice. This type of concrete is created by adding aggregate, or small stones, to the concrete mix before it is poured.

The stones are then exposed after the concrete dries, giving the finished product a textured, natural look. Exposed aggregate concrete is also solid and long-lasting, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like concrete driveways.

You can colour concrete by paying attention to the aggregate you use. For a more natural look, use light-coloured aggregate. For a more dramatic look, use darker aggregate.
