| This
system uses a 4,000 psi (29mpa) concrete mix design reinforced
with fiber, which is then integrally colored with one
of 36 integral colors, and placed in accordance with ACI
standards. Prior to imprinting the surface, a Stampcrete
colored release agent is applied. This release agent acts
as a curing agent, releasing agent, and gives the surface
a two-tone look.
The surface
is then imprinted with one of 40 designs, including
brick, European cobblestone, and ashlar slate, to name
a few. The release agent is removed, concrete control
cuts are placed in accordance with ACI standards, then
the surface is sealed with two coats of sealer to protect
it from fading or staining and from all of nature's
elements. Using color hardeners can also enhance the
Stampcrete System. The company manufactures over 24
color hardeners. |
