Concrete ColorsMuch like stamp patterns, there are a number of different concrete color options and combining them makes for beautiful designs and color contrasts. Stamped and colored concrete can mimic the look of many other materials, like natural stone or brick. The best part about the stamp patters and colors being independent is that you can choose the perfect pattern for you and also customize the color to fit your exact design preferences. Check out Brickform's concrete color chart to browse options. In addition to the concrete color, a colored release agent is used in the stamping process, which helps during installation but also adds additional color and depth the the concrete. The color options for releases are similar to the concrete colors, which makes for a great compliment and even more design possibilities.

Concrete StainsStaining concrete can be a great way to bring new life to existing grey concrete slabs. Whether it's an interior floor, like a basement or bathroom or a patio, sidewalk or driveway staining adds color and depth to the concrete and when sealed really makes for an amazing transformation. There are different stain colors to choose from, but the selection is a little more limited than concrete colors.

Already Have Decorative Concrete At Your Home? Let Us Reseal It!
Decorative concrete is typically sealed after the concrete slab has been installed and hardened. The sealer is applied to bring the colors and stamp patterns to life and also to add a protective layer to the slab. Although the sealer is very durable, over time it does tend to wear. Depending on use and weather, the sealer should be reapplied about ever 2-4 years. We can help you reseal your patio, driveway or interior concrete floors and love helping customers keep their decorative concrete looking amazing for many years.
