Installation
Design Selection
We work with you to find the pattern type that best matches your home’s aesthetic. Popular choices for stamped concrete driveways are often ashlar slate and cobblestone.
Preparation
Excavate the patio and start the sub-base installation of gravel and stone. Metal forms are used to set a perimeter and will be leveled accordingly. Rebar or wire mesh will then be placed to reinforce the concrete.
Concrete Pour
Concrete will be poured into the excavated patio space. It will be set evenly inside the forms to ensure consistency across the patio. A bull float will be used to smooth the surface of the concrete and push the aggregate down.
Coloring
Concrete color hardener will be applied across the surface and a second coat will be used if color has yet to match. A release agent will then be used to ensure that the texturized concrete mats do not stick to the surface of the concrete patio.
Stamping
Finally, we apply the textured mat pattern you selected on the surface of the concrete patio. After the concrete has completed the curing period, a sealer is used to protect the patio surface from moisture and wear.
FAQ
Can stamped concrete patios withstand extreme weather conditions?
Yes, stamped concrete patios can survive extreme weather conditions, such as the familiar Ottawa winter season. High heat and heavy rain also will not cause significant damage to the patio given proper sealing and care.
Are stamped concrete patios slip-resistant?
Absolutely! Make sure you request a textured finish and a non-slip additive sealant. This will make the patio slip-resistant.
How long does the color last on a stamped concrete patio?
The color can last for years if it is properly maintained. Over time, UV exposure and weathering may cause some fading, but resealing the patio can help preserve the color and enhance its appearance.
