WHY STAMPED CONCRETE IS BETTER

Stamped concrete provides a unique look for driveways, sidewalks, and patios. It is also used to surround pools, balconies and decks because you can easily give it a unique look by using different colors. Many driveways you see are black which give it a boring look to it. When you see a driveway that is not black, it helps make not only the driveway stand out, but it can make your house pop out too. One of the most popular colors of stamped concrete is dark red which can help your driveway stand out! There are several other benefits of stamped concrete besides allowing your driveway to standout. Here are some of those benefits listed below.

 
Installation

The ease of installing stamped concrete is one of the biggest benefits of stamped concrete. Stamped concrete is a mixture of water and cement powder. The three steps to installing stamped concrete is mixing the mixture, pouring the mixture, and stamping the mixture. Although it seems easy, you have to make sure you have the correct amount of powder and water. If there is too much or too little water there is a risk of the concrete not lasting long.

 
Easy to Maintain

Stamped concrete is less prone to wear and tear causing it to be easier to maintain. You often see driveways that have to be repaved because of cracks and more wear and tear. With stamped concrete, you will see less of this which allows your surface to remain smoother over time.

 
Longevity

Stamped concrete is one of the most durable paving materials out there IF it is installed correctly which allows it to last longer than other paving materials. However, if it is not installed correctly, the stamped concrete will not last very long so it would be wise to consult with one of our stamped concrete experts beforehand.
