Browsing Stamped Concrete Designs – Adding Quality, Durability and Esthetic Appeal to Your Property
Stamped concrete designs are available in such abundance nowadays that you can certainly find the pattern, the texture, the shape and the color that best suits your property. Whether it is your pool area, the area around your barbeque, your driveway, your stairs or your patio, the right design is out there – here is how to find it.
Consider the Design of Your Building
Before choosing any stamped concrete slabs, consider the design of the house on the property. If your house is made from bricks and it features a classic design, the concrete slabs around it should suit that design. The color of the slabs should also match the stain or paint on the exterior walls of the house if you want to install the slabs outside and you should consider the features of the interior if that is the area that you need the slabs for.
Choose the Right Texture
Stamped concrete comes in various textures from shiny and silky to grainy, rough textured or patterned varieties and you can also choose to combine the textures:
- if you are planning to use the concrete around the pool, go for non-slippery varieties
- choose rough textures for driveways, especially if you get snow in winter
- you can choose shiny or silky textures for indoor applications, but do consider aspects of functionality inside the home, too,
Cost-Related Aspects
The price of stamped concrete varies widely, from affordable to very expensive – here are a few factors that influence price:
- basic varieties are usually simple grey slabs – they are the cheapest
- colors and patterns increase the price a bit, but adding two colors and a decorative border will not cost you that much
- elaborate designs such as special shapes and coloring or hand-applied details further increase the price, but even these artistic designs will cost you less than natural stone.
