Stamped concrete provides the most realistic look of Natural Stone or Slate by stamping a pattern and texture to plain concrete at the time of pouring. The new concrete can be colored integrally by mixing the color into the concrete or the color can be broadcast into the surface after the concrete pour with color hardeners. Additional color hardeners can be flashed into the surface to create a more realistic look by having a different color as would a natural stone. Color hardener results in increased abrasion resistance and higher compressive strength to residential and commercial floors. From light pastels to intense brights, the uniform, streak free hues of color hardener are consistent project to project. Antiquing releases are used to broadcast into the surface just prior to stamping. This allows for a more realistic-aged appearance. The finished job is sealed to protect from dirt and stains and improves the overall strength of the surface. An anti-slip grit is added to the sealing process to achieve a slip resistant surface.
The limitless array of possibilities combined with great durability and lower cost than natural products makes stamped concrete an easy choice for new construction and renovation projects.

My experience with Signature Concrete Design was nothing short of outstanding. The experience was quite positive and the end result is in our opinion a work of splendid beauty far beyond what we originally envisioned or thought possible. I couldn't recommend them more for outdoor living needs.
