The color you choose for your stamped concrete in Linden & Fenton, MI will depend on what effect you’re trying to achieve. You can choose a color that matches an existing stone, wood or other material, or you can create a contrast with the natural materials around it.
The first thing to consider is the color of the concrete you are stamping. If you are going for a natural look, then your stamped concrete should be slightly lighter than the color of your base material or substrate. This will give it a more natural appearance as well as help it match with other stone or brick surfaces around your property. Colors on your stamped concrete make the difference in bringing a realistic look to the feel of your stamped concrete.
Stencils for concrete come in a variety of popular patterns ranging from running-bond brick to stone, slate and tile (see diagram). They come in rolls, like wrapping paper, with each roll measuring about 3 feet wide and 335 feet long (or roughly 1,000 square feet). The stencil is made of thick, tear-resistant paper covered with a water-resistant coating, similar to the material used to make milk cartons. The stencil pattern consists of only the "mortar joints," with the "bricks" or "stones" cut out.
