Stamped Concrete – more design for a lower cost

Get the look of stone or brick pavement with stamped concrete

Stamped concrete is a building material that is long-lasting, flexible, and cost-efficient. But, before we go into its many benefits, let’s start with a definition.
.

According to Wikipedia:

“Stamped concrete is concrete that is patterned and / or textured or embossed to resemble brick, slate, flagstone, stone, tile, wood, and various other patterns and textures.”

It is perfect for pool decks, entrance ways, patios, walkways, and courtyards. It gives these areas the upscale look of paving stones or brick without the higher costs associated with them. It was first used in the 1950s and gained popularity in the 70s. Now, it is even starting to be used in interiors.

Stamped concrete provides design flexibility

The product’s ability to be colored makes it a standout building material. Natural, bright, pastel or artificial colors are possibilities. There is more flexibility to pull a building and its surrounding environment together with colored concrete that natural paving stones or slate.

It works well with these natural materials when used for fountains and steps. And it complements them at a lower cost. It also provides for a quicker installation.

Stamped concrete works beautifully with other decorative concrete elements. These can include exposed aggregate or acid staining. Brick, hexagonal tile, worn rock or stone are common patterns.

How is stamped concrete poured?

The process of installing stamped concrete involves three procedures. They are: adding the base color, adding the accent color (if desired), and stamping the pattern.

Adding base color

The base color often imitates the color of natural building materials. It is produced by adding a color hardener to the concrete. This hardener is a powder pigment that dyes the concrete the desired color.

There are two ways of applying it. They are integral color or cast-on color.

I have had the pleasure to know David Seip for over ten years. Initially, we worked as colleagues at the same company.   As we progressed in our own respected aspects as contractors we worked as separate entities together on the same projects. Empire Construction has hired CAM Contracting for several projects and we feel that CAM Contracting is a stellar organization priding themselves on not only speed but accuracy in completing a project. I have met and worked with many types of businessmen over the years from developers and investors to sub-contractors. I have found many to be less in substance than they profess to be in words. David Seip is an honest, upstanding businessman and an excellent General Contractor. It is our belief that CAM Contracting would be a wise choice if you want your project to be completed on time and within your budgetary restrictions. Feel free to contact me personally if you have further questions. Sincerely,

If you are looking for a reliable and honest contractor, look no further than CAM Contracting, LLC! Dave Seip, the owner, uses the highest quality of professionalism, materials, and sub-contractors to insure a superb job without the inflated cost. We had CAM Contracting install wood flooring throughout our house, including our staircase. Due to poor construction from the original builder, each stair was a different width and depth. Although the job was very tedious, Dave and his sub-contractor, also named Dave, took the time to measure each stair and the results are not only amazing but beautiful as well. I highly recommend CAM Contracting! Sincerely,

Thank you so much for taking care of all the things that needed fixing at our house. Replacing the ballast in the kitchen lights, replacing a leaky valve, replacing part of the flooring, installing flood lights, de-gunking and painting the patio floor...whew, so much needed to be done. You did an efficient, clean, and excellent job! We will definitely use your services again and recommend CAM Contracting to others!
