Why You Need Vero Beach Stamped Concrete
Are you in the market for a new concrete driveway, walkway, path, patio or pool deck? Why would you consider using Vero Beach stamped concrete?
Stamped Concrete Improves The Look Of Any Concrete
Stamped concrete is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Concrete is poured into a mold containing a metal rebar or fiber frame. Once it begins to harden, the concrete is stamped with fiber molds lined up side by side or rolled on with a roller.
Even though the process is pretty simple, the results are actually pretty impressive. Due to the wide variety of stamp patterns, you can pretty much create any design that you can imagine. You can create the look and feel of English walkway or a cobblestone path.
Stamped concrete is flexible enough to accommodate any design scheme or landscaping look.
Some of the most popular stamps are:
- Ashlar Stone
- English Cobblestone
- Canyon Stone
- Vermont Slate
- Fractured Slate
- Cobblestone Running Bond
- New Brick Herringbone
Another benefit of using concrete for your project is the wide variety of colors available to you.
The Variety Of Stamped Concrete
You can make use of these color options in your concrete project in a variety of ways. You can use concrete stains, color hardeners, integral color, or concrete dyes. Ask your concrete contractor which type of coloring method to use for your project.
The methods used will depend on the type of project and whether it is indoors or outdoors. Some methods are not weather or UV resistant. The method of coloring and color tone that you choose will make a dramatic impact on the look and feel of your project. Do you want a soft, neutral look or a very bright and vibrant feel?
Stains, for example, will give a more natural look, whereas dyes will generally give you a brighter tone. Be sure to discuss the availability of color choices and methods with your Vero Beach concrete contractor to ensure they have exactly what you are looking for.
