How to Form, Pour and Finish a STAMPED CONCRETE Patio
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Online Concrete Classes: decorativeconcreteschool.com
We've been remodeling an old building for our new office & shop, and we are finally going to pour our stamped concrete porch and patio.
We prepped the ground with a gravel base, formed the pad with 1/4" slope on it and installed 3/8" rebar for reinforcement.
The next day poured the concrete. We added sand buff integral color to the concrete truck, but we also broadcast color hardener on the surface. We used a wood plank stamped pattern on our patio and a flagstone stamped pattern on our porch.
Once the concrete had cured, we stripped the forms and stamped the sides of the concrete. We mixed color hardener with water/resin/polymer and applied it to the sides of the concrete. Then we stamped the sides with the texture skins, and created grout lines with an s-tool.
I came back the next day and washed all of the color release agent off of the surface. I also sprayed a water/muriatic acid solution on the surface to help me to remove as much release agent as I could.
We let the concrete dry overnight and then we applied a solvent based clear sealer on all of the concrete.

I LOVED the edging details. To me that's a rare finishing detail that isn't done often. If not often, not at all. Great content.

Except that is not how it is done. Strip the form, and stamp it with the correct stamp. They make end stamps. Think about how an end of a log looks. The grain is round. That is where the right stamp makes the whole job.

Hello, there great work guys but i have one question how long do have to wait to seal the concrete
Spectacular finishes on both the stone and wood stampings. Really nice work! I noticed you didn't use expansion joints between your new and old concrete, nor wire mesh in the slabs. Are those not necessary for a job that size?
@TimDCVA
4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! We used rebar...not sure there’s any benefit to using mesh & rebar. Technically we probably should have used expansion joint material on the wood plank pad...but I think it’s ugly in the finished product.
I subscribed to your channel, a really cool feature would be if you periodically showed a timer or clock so the time-lapse is easier to comprehend for people wanting to learn the timing between steps. Great content!
