Stamped Concrete

Stamped Concrete

Home and business owners in Orlando are one of the top users of decorative concrete finishes in the nation.  When trying to identify the best concrete design in Orlando it can be very challenging.  The many choices in decorative concrete include such options as concrete overlays, stained concrete, polished concrete, stamped concrete and a number of industrial coatings and garage floor finishes.  Each type possesses unique qualities. For instance, overlays come in many designs, stained concrete is available in a wide range of colors, polished concrete adds durability to existing concrete, and stamped concrete gives color and texture to new or existing concrete. Which design you choose depends on your needs and preferences, but one type that seems to be growing in popularity throughout Orlando is stamped concrete.

Design choices and options make stamped concrete a growing leader. 

Stamped or imprinted concrete is popular because it imitates the appearance of natural stone, flagstone, tile, slate, wood, and brick. It is ideal for use on driveways, sidewalks, decks, patios, and courtyards. It is a paving choice that Select Surface Solutions has seen requested frequently because a textured look can be achieved without having to use the natural materials that it mimics. This process provides flexibility in pattern, texture and color which is enough for homeowners and contractors to achieve many unique and upscale designs while often saving time and money in the process.

Why Is Stamped Concrete Number One?

 In addition to the benefits listed above, there are other reasons that have led to stamped concrete taking its place as the number one concrete design in Orlando. The first is that the most complex designs can be achieved. Some of these designs include those integrated into fountains and steps. The second is that stamped concrete can be used along with with acid stain and exposed aggregate to create stunning effects and rich decor.  The third is that if you already have other natural stone or concrete elements on your property, stamped concrete can be designed to blend in and be a stylish addition.

All in all, stamped concrete is a way to have an effective replica without giving up the natural look. Plus, imprinting the concrete doesn’t sacrifice its integrity. Instead, it gives the concrete a beautiful appearance that can last for many years to come.
