The strength and durability of a material such as concrete add value to stamped decorative concrete. Like conventional concrete, stamped concrete will provide decades of service when properly installed and maintained, even when exposed to harsh winter weather conditions.

In some cases, stamped concrete can be even more durable than standard concrete, especially if a colored hardener has been applied to the surface. Hardener does more than just impart color. It also makes the surface more solid and strong, and more resistant to abrasion and water penetration.
