Tips for Restoring Stamped Decorative Concrete

Decorative concrete options like stamped concrete solutions take the beauty of your home to a whole new level. But, it’s important to be mindful of certain factors, like weather and regular wear, that can lead to your stamped concrete losing its shine.

Here are some tips on maintaining or restoring your stamped concrete.

Perform deep cleaning and thorough maintenance

Reviving your stamped concrete can be as simple as deep washing it. Algae, dirt and other debris may build up on the concrete surface, making it dull and less shiny. A good pressure wash can go a long way in restoring it. If you don’t have a pressure washer, you can hire a professional to do it for you.

Apply a concrete restoration coating

For best results, apply the coating twice. The first application is to create a balanced base. The second application is to ensure that the coat is thorough and uniform in appearance. Make sure to follow the instructions for mixing and using the coating product. Spread it well with equal strokes and a level of pressure to avoid uneven spots. Apply the second coat as soon as the first coat dries, but check that there are no damp or tacky spots.

Restain the concrete

Restaining your concrete can restore the former colour and brilliance of your concrete. You can choose whether you want it to look exactly like it did in the past or if you want to change the tint. There are plenty of colours and finishes available, so you can choose according to your preferred design.
