Advantages of stenciled concrete

The process of stenciling concrete has been done by contractors for ages. There are a number of reasons why we would recommend stenciled concrete.

For a start, it’s one of the simplest methods of finishing a concrete pathway. The installation process is pretty simple and most people who are good at DIY projects can handle it. However, stenciling large surfaces can be a hard task and requires several hands.

Stenciling can also be done fast and without a lot of technicalities. You are even able to mimic the look of stone or tiles using stencils which makes it a cost effective technique. Stenciling can also be considered as a safe finishing method for slippery surfaces such as a poolside. The stencils can be placed on the target area and work can begin even before the concrete sets after it has been poured. In order to make the surface look authentically tiled, you can add grout lines on stenciled concrete. 

However, stenciling needs to be done at the right time. The finishing process can be demanding in hot or rainy weather and the concrete labourers will have to make several adjustments in order to maintain the look of the design. Sealing is also required on a regular basis to keep the surface looking polished.
