What is Stamped Concrete?

After the wet concrete is poured and smoothed, a pattern is carefully applied While the concrete is still wet.  This is done completely by hand by A Moldavian’s skilled craftsmen to provide a unique texture and three-dimensional imprint in the concrete.  In addition, coloring dyes can be added to create a more varied and contrasting finish. A Moldavian Construction has been providing custom stamped concrete and creating beautiful finishes that look like much more expensive materials–all with the durability and low maintenance of concrete.  With today’s concrete methods and A Moldavian’s attention to old world quality, your imagination can be free to create the patio, walkway or driveway that is just right for your home, neighborhood and lifestyle.

Patterns

There are dozens of patterns to choose from.  A Moldavian Construction hand applies each pattern to achieve a beautiful natural appearance without the the ‘repetitive’ look of some companies.  As both the coloring and patterns are carefully applied by skilled artisans, it allows for the most natural and realistic variations–while still retaining the low maintenance, durability and strength of concrete.

Sealers and Maintenance

If no sealer is applied, the coloring will gradually fade over several years.  To preserve and maintain the finish A Moldavian can apply an industrial strength acrylic sealer.  Retail versions of these products are available at many home centers.  Applying a sealer will darken and protect the finish and color.  Consumer sealers can be applied any time after the first 30 days during most of the year. If performing this yourself, be sure to follow label directions carefully to obtain the best results.
