What is stamped
overlay?
Stamped overlays is a great way to spice
up existing concrete, it would also be useful when removing
and replacing concrete is not cost effective for your project.
Not only do you have as many options to add creative flare
to your project with stamped overlays, but
it is also less time and labor intensive to install. Times
when stamped overlays are most useful are
when there are surrounding structures that run a risk of being
damaged during demolition (ie. Stair cases, swimming pools,
walls). If the concrete is in good enough shape to restore
it, then stamped overlays are recommended.
Stamping an overlay allows you to create
a distinctive pattern to match your surroundings and add appeal
to the area. Using the stamping patterns, you can create stone,
slate, brick, wood, cobblestone and many other patterns for
a fraction of the cost. The durability of concrete makes stamping
overlays a great alternative to other masonry materials.
The minimum concrete that needs to be applied
is 3/8 inch. You may need to apply more concrete depending
on the deepness of the impression on the concrete stamp.
