These Stamps Transform Concrete Into Wood And Stone

That wood effect blew my mind. The texture, the colour, everything was so meticulously finished.

We had this done, years ago, Twice!. First time they didn’t cut an expansion gap in it, to stop it cracking naturally, and they forgot to add powdered glass to the top coat of sealer. It turned out to not an ice rink in the winter. It was so slippery, the post office served us a notice to say they couldn’t deliver mail anymore! Suffice to say they did the whole job again, correctly. The colour wore away under car tyres, but the top surface can be redone every 5 years or so

"What are you doing with that broom?" "I'm agitating the porch"

the look is great, ive done this plank look on many jobs. but i have to point out a huge mistake. possibly one that could result in a lot of cracking and possibly a complete redo of the job. way back in the beginning, when the truck started pouring, they never lifted the rebar into the concrete. the rebar is there to reinforce the concrete, when it lays on the ground and the concrete is poured over it, it is useless. it needs to be inside the concrete. also, for pads there are better wire mesh rolls or panels that can be used rather than rebar. i always suggest wire mesh in the field and rebar around the edges. the plank look is great, and i hope this lasts for the sake of those who had it done, but a beutiful plank concrete job, like any other job, is only as good as its foundation.

That looks so good. Really people in the u.s. should use more concrete material so that their homes are more stable against the elements and way longer lasting over time.

I was working with a company out of a place called Natural Bridge in Fl. We did the bridge there very similar only stained it after the stamping with a acid base stain as we couldn't add color in the d.o.t. concrete. Neat concept all around.

My son-in-law’s father specialized in stamped concrete. I went to my daughter’s house and saw their new flagstone driveway. They weren’t home. I inspected it for quite a while, even crawling on my hands and knees. I finally figured out it was concrete, not stone. I have poured concrete. But that was impressive.

That concrete work is worth more than that house. 😎🤣

So this is CON-crete

Would have been nice to see the finished look for longer than a split second from a distance...

I wanna do this with a concrete/rubber mixture so it won't ever crack and the design will stay forever beautiful 😍❤

We did this on our patio- it looked great and was much cheaper than real stone!

Nice job. Can't wait to see the cracks due to no expansion cuts and that steel mesh left hard on the ground rather than setting on chairs off the ground.

The wood texture would look fab in a kitchen

Even more grooves for dirt to get in

That is a hell of a job. I am surprised this is the first time I’m ever seeing this

This honestly looks amazing.

Pretty amazing and well designed bravo 👏🏼👌🏼

I liked the flagstone look. Pretty sharp.

This is brilliant! It's crazy what people think of.
