Pattern Stamped Concrete
Specifications
Texture
Pattern (stamped) Concrete provides a relatively smooth finish depending on the stamping mould or roller used.
Application
It is critical that sufficient quantities of CCS Colour Hardener are applied to the concrete to ensure a durable finish is achieved.
The correct ratio of CCS Colour Hardener depends on the service conditions the floor will be exposed to. Recommended application rates are:-
| Domestic driveways, paths and car parks with vehicular traffic less than 3 tonnes. | 2-2.8kg of Colour Hardener per m 2 (7-10m 2 per 20kg bag). |
| Public roadways and industrial hard stands. | 3.3kg of Colour Hardener per m 2 (6m 2 per 20kg bag). |
| Busy shopping footpaths and malls with heavy pedestrian traffic. | 4kg of Colour Hardener per m 2 (5m 2 per 20kg bag). |
Suggested Specification for Pattern (Stamped) Concrete
Option 1 - Using CCS Colour Hardener to create base colour:
-
The concrete should be coloured with CCS (nominate colour) ______ Colour Hardener at a rate of one 20kg bag per 7 to 10 square metres.
-
CCS (nominate colour) ______ Release Agent should be applied to all concrete surfaces to be imprinted with (nominate design) ______ Textured Mat or Roller.
-
After 3 days, wash off excess release agent.
-
Once dry, the slab should be sealed with 2 coats of CCS Hardseal acrylic sealer.
Option 2 - Using CCS Pigment Concentrates to create base colour:
-
Concrete is to be integrally coloured with CCS (nominate colour eg. CCS Onyx) ______ Pigment Concentrate as manufactured by Concrete Colour Systems (refer to contact details at bottom of page). One pre-formulated bag should be added per one cubic metre of (nominate strength) ______ MPa concrete containing (i.e. "grey" or "off white") ______ cement.
-
CCS (nominate colour) ______ Release Agent should be applied to all concrete surfaces to be imprinted with (nominate design) ______ Textured Mat.
-
After 3 days, wash off excess release agent.
-
Once dry, the slab should be sealed with 2 coats of CCS Hardseal acrylic sealer.
