Before buying concrete stamps the guide points out several key factors that need to be considered.  First, contractors will need to evaluate the project at hand to determine the type of stamp and the number of stamps needed.  Second, it’s important to determine whether the stamps will be used for freshly placed concrete or to do an overlay.

To help with the decision making process, the guide covers three basic types of stamping tools for concrete flatwork, which include: rigid or semi-rigid mats, flex mats and texturing skins.  Each offers its own unique qualities and benefits for specific concrete projects.

To help with making a smart buying decision from the beginning, follow the expert tips provided by industry pros including Bob Harris, president of the Decorative Concrete Institute and more.
