Once used around the home for driveways, porches and decks, concrete is quick becoming an artistic upscale trend in home design. New and remodeled homes see contractors transforming this typically utilitarian building material into whatever the home and condo owner can imagine. Concrete contractors can make concrete any color and make it resemble any pattern desired, from stone to slate to wood.
One of the most common decorative concrete techniques is stamped concrete. Stamped concrete is a technique applied to new concrete where rubber molds are pressed into the surface of the concrete before it sets up. Concrete can also be colored by adding pigment when the cement, sand and water are mixed. Because this is not an exact science, it is best to make sure the entire area is poured at the same time to ensure the color is consistent.
