Concrete is only a decorative concrete finish applied to otherwise normal concrete.
When done properly it does not affect the stability or the durability of the Cured Concrete under normal conditions. It merely enhances the look and finish of the Concrete Surface. All basic methods of preparation and application of the concrete to be stamped should be applied. To reduce cracking, it should be graded so that the thickness of the concrete will be uniform. At the time of concreting, it must be moist, completely consolidated, and free of frost.
