Stamped Concrete vs. Stamped Overlay

Stamped concrete and stamped overlay may seem similar but there is a bit of difference between the two. Stamped concrete is the process of stamping patterns on newly installed concrete slabs. A stamped overlay is a combination of Portland cement, silica sand, some cementitious hardeners, and adhesives that are installed on existing concrete patios, pool decks, or driveways to achieve a variety of decorative concrete looks. Although the stamping process is the same for both, one is done on an entirely new slab while one involves an overlay over an old slab.

The costs of stamped concrete and stamped overlay depend on a number of factors, including: whether a new concrete slab will have to be installed, the size of the area, and what kind of design you would like.

Installation Areas for Stamped Overlays

  • Stamped Concrete Patio – The patio is considered an extension of the indoor living room. It should be appealing and comfortable enough for unwinding. Stamping an overlay over an existing patio is highly recommended to give it a new look and to extend the life of the slab. It can effectively imitate the look of wood or stone without the high cost.
  • Stamped Concrete Driveway – The driveway plays a huge role in enhancing a property’s curb appeal. It is crucial to acquire an appealing surface without compromising safety. That is exactly what stamped concrete is here for. It could recreate the look of a luxurious concrete driveway at a more affordable cost. A stamped pattern provides enough traction, making it a safe option especially for sloped driveways.
  • Stamped Concrete Pool Deck – Remember how pool decks used to use tiles on its surface? It was so unsafe because it could get very slippery. Nowadays, one of the most highly recommended options is a stamped concrete overlay. It provides just enough slip-resistance and a comfortable surface to walk on even with bare feet.

5-Day Stamp Concrete Overlay Installation

A professional concrete contractor can install a stamped overlay in approximately 5 days. Here is a rough summary of how the process goes:

1st Day: The surface is power washed and cleaned thoroughly.

2nd Day: While it is being air-dried, the surroundings are masked and protected to make sure that the product does not affect anything but the concrete slab. A primer coat is mixed and troweled down on the concrete surface.

3rd Day: The stamped overlay mix is prepared and then applied on the prepared slab. Patterns are incorporated on the overlay before it dries and hardens.

4th Day: The overlay is left to sit and dry.

5th Day: If the customer requests for it, concrete staining and sealing applications are done when the concrete overlay has cured completely.
