Stamp Concrete
Stamped, textured or imprint concrete is a decorative concrete, used in flooring. Large number of finishes can be achieved with such concrete in desired colours with the surface resembling bricks, stones, tiles or wood. The process includes preparation of subgrade, placing of forms, providing reinforcement for stability, placing the concrete, screeding and finishing the concrete, applying colour and lastly, stamping the concrete using desired moulds. Thus, stamped concrete can be used for functional and aesthetic requirements. This also saves natural stone and thus, can be categorised as a green material.
Using rubber stamps made from “real stone” moulds, stamped concrete flooring—also referred to as patterned concrete or imprinted concrete—imprints the concrete to mimic natural brick, slate, cobblestone, tile, and even wood boards. It can be used to imprint newly poured concrete before it hardens, or it can be used as an overlay to cover your current concrete slab. For freshly laid concrete, stamping is a decorative treatment.
Advantages
- Different patterns can be achieved with stamped concrete, resembling from bricks to tiles to stones.
- It can be made available in many colours as per the architect’s choice.
- It can be laid on any sub-grade over plain cement concrete base or RCC base as per the available sub grade characteristics
- It is durable, long lasting and almost free from maintenance.
- Customised designs and patterns can be achieved.
- Since it can be laid over RCC, it has better resistance to water and uplift pressure due to water and may prove to be durable even in case of occasional submergence.
- It does not have joints like bricks, tiles and stones, hence is aesthetically better and durable compared to bricks, tiles or stones.
- Laying of stamped concrete is easier than traditional materials like bricks, tiles and stones and provide better and consistent surface.
- Since it saves natural stone, it can be categorised as a green material
Methods for laying
There are three procedures used in stamped concrete that separate it from other concrete procedures; the addition of a base color, the addition of an accent color, and stamping a pattern into the concrete. These three procedures provide stamped concrete with a color and shape similar to the natural building material.
- Addition of base color
