How many years has stamped concrete been installed?
A form of today’s stamped concrete was originated on the West coast back in the 1960’s. The stamped concrete tools back then were made of metal and resembled “cookie cutters”. They produced a pattern, but did not provide any texture. Today’s tools are rigid mats made of polyurethane that produce authentic textured patterns of stone, brick, even wood planking and fossilized sea-life! When stamped concrete is installed by experienced craftsmen, it’s hard to tell the difference from the real thing.
