Stamped Concrete Calgary

Stamped concrete, also referred to as textured or imprinted concrete, is a revolutionary option that enables you to mimic patterns similar to costly materials like tiles, natural stone, and granite. Stamping pads put impressions in the concrete for an incredibly aesthetic look without compromising the sturdy, long-lasting qualities of concrete. The final product can look like bricks, pavers, and even wood.

Outside, stamped concrete in Calgary can be used for entryways, patios, and walkways. Even if you don't want your entire patio or driveway in stamped concrete, you can add borders to break up the surface. At Patriarch Construction, our skilled and extensively experienced team can help you create a mix to meet your architectural needs and budgetary limits.

FAQs About Our Stamped Concrete Options

Why Should I consider Stamped Concrete Over Other Options?

The main reason most homeowners prefer stamped concrete is because it's far less costly than many options, including pavers, wood, and granite, yet still aesthetically pleasing.

Will Stamped Concrete Scratch or Stain?

Do We Have to Seal Stamped Concrete?

The visual effect of our colored stamped concrete is created with the help of stains, dyes, and sealers. Therefore, to maintain its vibrant appearance, we recommend applying a sealer every one to four years. But this will also depend on whether the area is exposed to harsh weather or a high traffic area.
