A 400 sq ft stamped patio runs $4,000–$7,200. Multi-color designs and intricate patterns are at the higher end. Contact Foster Hayward Concrete for a detailed quote.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What is the difference between stamped concrete and regular concrete?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Stamped concrete is regular concrete that has patterns pressed into it while it’s still wet, creating the appearance of stone, brick, slate, or wood. It can also be colored with integral pigments or surface-applied stains. It’s structurally the same as plain concrete but with a dramatically more attractive finish.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How long does stamped concrete last?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Stamped concrete lasts 25–50 years when properly installed and maintained. The key to longevity is proper sealing every 2–3 years to protect the color and surface, along with avoiding harsh de-icing chemicals in winter. The base concrete is just as durable as any other concrete installation.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Does stamped concrete need to be sealed?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Yes. Sealing is essential for stamped concrete. A quality sealer protects the color, prevents staining, and gives the surface its characteristic sheen. New stamped concrete should be sealed after the initial cure (about 28 days), then resealed every 2–3 years depending on traffic and exposure.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Is stamped concrete slippery when wet?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Stamped concrete can be slippery when wet, especially with a high-gloss sealer. To improve traction, a non-slip additive (shark grip or aluminum oxide) is mixed into the sealer. For pool decks and areas exposed to water, we always recommend this anti-slip treatment at no extra charge.” } } ] }
