Adding to the realism of stamped concrete we have a wide variety of integral and surface applied color options that allow contractors to bring stamped patterns to life and precisely replicate the beauty of the materials they seek to mimic.

Two of the most popular methods for coloring newly installed concrete are integral color mixes and powder color hardeners.

Both infuse a rich, long-lasting, fade-resistant color, and in the case of color hardeners, they further enhance surface hardness and durability.

Stamped concrete contractors often use one or both of these coloring media to produce a base for antique or contrast accents, such as powdered pigment agents or stencil release liquid, possibly provided by chemical shades or dyes.

This ability to layer colors is what allows contractors to produce such replicas of natural tones.
