Stenciled Concrete FAQ
Can stenciled concrete go over my existing concrete?
Concrete that is existing and in good condition can be covered with a stenciled overlay. This is a big cost savings as opposed to getting your current concrete replaced. Stenciled overlays can be used to upgrade the appearance of driveways, patios, walkways, decks, and your interior concrete.
Why do people choose stenciled concrete?
There are many reasons stenciled concrete is appealing. It is economical, especially when compared to pavers and natural stone. The maintenance is also lower when compared to pavers/stone as there are less joints for weed growth etc. The longevity is also a benefit to stenciled concrete, with a properly installed/maintained surface will last decades. Finally, there are endless combinations of patterns and colors that can be created. Whatever you desire can be created to match your vision.

Stenciled concrete is a textured surface, making it more slip resistant then untreated concrete. If being installed in a high traffic area like a pool deck or entryway there are a number of things that can be done to increase the slip resistance.
How long will stenciled concrete last?
Stenciled concrete will last for decades when installed and maintained correctly. If a color hardener has been applied it is often even more durable than standard concrete.
