Stamped Concrete
Decorative stamped concrete is a great way to add charm, value, and elegance to your home. The concrete is colored (base color chart below), poured and imprinted with a stamp to create the appearance of natural stone, slate, granite, brick or cobblestone.
A release agent is needed to prevent the stamps from sticking to the unfinished concrete. Atlantis uses Brickform Antique Release which also gives the concrete a secondary color for a more natural look. Please check out www.brickform.com and look under Antique Releases for the color release chart.
Once the concrete has properly cured, we pressure wash and apply a protective sealant giving the concrete colors more depth while increasing durability and resistance to stains.
Colored Concrete
Atlantis uses Scofield CHROMIX Admixtures (base color chart) which is a liquid integral color that is added to the concrete at the batch plant. Scofield CHROMIX Admixtures have a rich diverse palette of concrete colors and create an evenly dispersed, consistent, streak free concrete color throughout the concrete mix. While other product lines and colors are available, Atlantis has had the best results using this product.
All concrete, standard or decorative, poured by Atlantis, undergoes the same sub-grade preparation. (See Standard Concrete page for sub-grade preparation)
