Hand Tooling
With different techniques and technologies, a qualified and experienced concrete contractor has a variety of options to personalize your outdoor concrete floors. Out of the many different methods, hand-tooling happens to be the most common one. Many homeowners tend to overlook this one as it is more labor-intensive and expensive than other methods. However, if you want a unique design then this is the method to go for. You can expect an attractive outcome every time. The best thing about this method is that you can instruct the contractors to make a design that you want. Many homeowners use this method on different colored concrete as well to create a painting-like outcome. With this method there are endless possibilities to produce a masterpiece as per your instruction.
Color Blending
Just a few years ago, the only color choice for concrete was that unappealing grey. But things have been changed for the better. Nowadays, homeowners just like yourself, have the option to choose from different color options. This method is called stamped concrete color blending. Just by adding the color of your choice, you can elevate the look and vibe of your house. The color options are almost endless. Going for this option opens a door to a whole new way to use color to either bring a realistic or whimsical look to your floors.
Post-Setting Coloring
When you have too much options, oftentimes you end up second-guessing yourself which can result in an undesirable outcome. However, as long as this option is there, there is no need to worry about anything. This method involves adding the color of choice after the concrete surface sets completely. So, if you do not like the color you have gone with, there is always an option to either add a whole new color or use an array of colors to give birth to a unique, personalized design.
Add-On Materials
If you want more from your concrete overlay patterns, then this option is definitely for you. If you go for this method, then the contractor will add different recommended materials of your choice to the concrete when it is still in the mixer.
