Stamped concrete is an innovative decorative technique where concrete is imprinted with patterns or textures, mimicking the appearance of natural materials like stone, brick, or wood, adding elegance and style to any surface.

Exposed aggregate concrete is a distinctive technique where the surface is treated to reveal the aggregate - the larger stones or materials mixed within the concrete. This process not only adds texture but also imparts a unique aesthetic, diverging from the ordinary flat, gray appearance commonly associated with traditional concrete surfaces.

The duration for installing stamped concrete varies depending on project size and complexity. During your consultation, our team will provide an estimated timeline tailored to your specific project requirements, ensuring timely completion and customer satisfaction.

The final color of stamped or exposed aggregate concrete becomes fully visible after the sealing process. Sealing enhances and locks in the color, ensuring its vibrancy and depth. While initial appearances may vary, the true color is revealed once sealing is complete, providing a durable and visually stunning finish.

Sealing the concrete serves multiple purposes, one of which is enhancing and locking in the color. Another is to protect the surface from moisture, stains, and damage caused by exposure to the elements. It helps enhance the color, durability, and longevity of the concrete, ensuring a long-lasting and visually appealing finish. Stamped and Expose aggregate concrete should be resealed every 2-3 years.

At OLM Pro Stamped Concrete LLC, we understand that concrete cracking is a natural occurrence, but we take proactive steps to mitigate its impact. Our approach involves strategically placing control joints or cuts in the concrete to provide predetermined weak points, allowing for controlled expansion and contraction without visible cracking. Furthermore, we reinforce our concrete with a combination of rebar and wire mesh. Rebar, made of steel rods, adds strength and stability to the concrete, while wire mesh distributes stress evenly throughout the surface, minimizing the risk of large cracks. These techniques, combined with our commitment to using high-quality materials, ensure that your concrete surfaces remain resilient and maintain their structural integrity for years to come.
