Unique Concrete

Introduction: All stamped concrete is not the same. Our 34 years of experience with stamped and colored concrete allows Unique Concrete to produce a product of unmatched strength and durability. Our stamped concrete process offers excellent quality control and the realistic look of custom masonry. While the demands of every job are different, our process remains the same. Our structural slabs are always reinforced with steel rebar and 2 ¼” structural synthetic fibers. On top of this structural slab, we pour 1 ½” of integrally colored 3 dimensionally reinforced quality concrete fortified with PVA fibers and an added water repellant. This concrete overlay is embossed with a texture and pattern to create a cast-in-place concrete tile with the look of stone or brick that is guaranteed not to delaminate. All of the impressions that are placed in the concrete to define the pattern are actually grouted. It is important to note that this is not a simulated grout joint that relies on a superficial stain for a color difference- The color difference between our stamps and grout is permanent. The use of integral colors offers you a product that needs to be resealed less often, if at all. This decorative stamped concrete product ages very gracefully and over time will take on the look of a concrete paver. Also, if a chip should ever occur on an edge, colored concrete is seen and not uncolored concrete as would be the case if a dry shake coloring process was employed. The saw cuts and control joints are designed to be within the grout joints and not indiscriminately applied across the pattern. Finally, this stamped concrete surface is rubbed with a grindstone to eliminate any sharp edges that might be uncomfortable for barefoot traffic. The end result is a decorative concrete product that more closely represents the realistic look and beauty of traditional custom masonry and done in a cost effective way. The opportunity to create a custom hardscape that will last for years to come.
