Stamped Concrete Questions


We have done some stamped concrete jobs, which came out pretty well. I have a customer who would like to include some curbs in with the job, maybe 6" tall and wants them stamped on the vertical and flat surfaces (see photo below for example). What is the best method of stamping the sides of the curbing?

Thanks,

Rob

Re: Stamped Concrete Questions


Talk to the people that sell you the rubber stamp pads. They are aware of many different applications and methods to do them. If they don't help you, you are dealing with the wrong supplier that has no support for customers.

If you you do a good job, they may give you some help in exchange for photos, etc. - Make them a partner.

Re: Stamped Concrete Questions


I would guess you cound texture the curb and free hand the grooves...I doubt there will be a specific stamp for this and a flexible mat won't get radius tight enough....a floppy texture mat may work.
