How does this work for exterior concrete walkways and the frost heave for freezing in winter? I expect you would have to do areas in slabs with breaks or it would crack the first winter. (We get -40C winters)
This video was super helpful. I have a stamped concrete driveway that needs some TLC. So my interest piqued @10:10. Semi-transparent stain! Going to get some now!
Thank you so much! You totally educated me on cement stamping which I was considering for my tired porch. Now I know what to say to a contractor. Much appreciated!
Love this idea seems a lot less expensive than tile. I’m wondering if method is nonslip? I’m looking for an inexpensive tile alternative without having to worry about it being slippery when it’s wet.
Wow! Fantastic! You're very detail oriented. I catch a spot that needs attention and you're already on it. Please use my patio and steps for your next DIY video. Lol!
Thanks!! You can check the description for every tool and material I used, but here is our full selection of stamping mats- globmarble.com/stamped-concrete/
Would have loved to see this done in an interior room where you don't have easy access around the edges of the project. Otherwise, I'm addicted to your videos. As a former faux finish plasterer/painter , I'm absolutely mesmerized by the texture/viscosity of your products. Can't wait to get my hands on some of it to try it out! Great videos!
Very nice work. I would like that on my driveway, in a Terra Cotta Color. The question is will it crack due to vehicle weight. And color last to Texas Climate.
That would look really nice :) It wont crack as long as you have a sturdy concrete driveway underneath the overlay and you give it at least 7 days after pouring for heavy traffic like cars. The colors will retain if you use an acrylic sealer which is made specifically for those purposes- globmarble.com/decorative-concretes/concrete-sealers/acrylic-sealers2/
Thank you that is really awesome, they look so real, great job. Do they also give some kind of instruction step by step when you making a driveway. Thanks, again.
Concrete cracks are prevented by making control joint cuts in concrete. Re-cut the control joints where they were on the original slab, and you will be fine
Unfortunately, we do not offer training courses anymore, but this product is surprisingly beginner friendly. Since it's an overlay, you can try to do the same thing in the video for a sample and not have to pour a whole slab of concrete :)
I'd like to know how long this would actually last over an existing concrete patio before it starts cracking and chipping up! Btw, it's a brand new patio done by the city. They replaced gas line and had to redo patio.
If someone’s young was to do work at the house I would need all sorts of reassurances and references But then I would see this and be all apologetic Awesome job Liked and subscribed I want to do a small path on a slope Probably need three levels to be safe than one incline path
@@GlobMarble I live in the San Gabriel Valley area in California. Who would you recommend contacting. I usually like getting 3-4 quotes. I need to resurface/repair, then be able to do stamped concrete afterwards. Liked the pattern you used. It's exactly what I'm looking for my patio.
This is a really video. I too am impressed by the depth of the texture possible from theses mats and this process. I would go with a more grey + brown/copper look as is the stone look of my location in the Caribbean. Can this process be applied to vertical walls? What would be your suggested adjustments to the process?
Those colors would look very nice. For vertical surfaces there is a different process and different stamps available. Here is a link to our wall stamp video- ruclips.net/video/-0Soi8eSdXw/видео.html
I like the colors you used and the way it turned out but I prefer greys more. I was wondering if you have ever tried to make a concrete marble floor. I mean with the marble running through the concrete. I have searched the internet but only find people using epoxy to make their concrete floors look like marble.
it's pretty hard to make look like marble large area of concrete because pigment will get blended with concrete during the pouring. You'll have to smooth out the concrete surface with floats. Floating will blend the pigment more.... Mush easier to marbleize casted panels. We'll record marbleizing concrete panel video soon.
We used to offer classes but covid hit and everyone stopped offering classes along with us :( The easiest way to learn is to try a sample board like I used in the video. That or go work for a contractor
The overlay is specifically designed to be applied in a thin layer and stamped. regular concrete or mortar mix will never work like this. You can find it here- globmarble.com/surestamp-stamp-concrete-overlay.html Also you can find all the materials in the description
The SureStamp was dyed with "almond", and the stain was "espresso". The release agent has no color. You could look into the description of the video to find links to each of these products :)
Thanks for the great video. Does the finished product always have to be shining? I am in a process of turning a small parking area outside my restaurant into a patio do you suggest this for a heavy traffic places? Also what price do they usually charge? Thank you
You can definitely use the surestamp on your patio. We also have a matting additive you can add to the sealers to make it less shiny. Contractors charge differently based on your location, but they will probably charge you less for surestamp because they wouldn't have to rip out the existing concrete and pour a new slab to stamp
Absolutely! You should etch the surface and remove any bumps or pits. Then wash away any debris. Then apply surebond onto it, and the surestamp right on top. This video shows how I did this on cementitious boards (just skip the board preparation)- ruclips.net/video/0u0f5BWmz3o/видео.html&
You absolutely could, but be sure to staple some aluminum expanded mesh to that plywood to have a great bond between the stamping overlay and the plywood. Otherwise it will chip off and ruin all that hard work!
GlobMarble😳 ???😳. ‘ Laboratory testing’ and ‘weather elements testing’ shows over time , the aluminum will be eroded away by the concrete chemistry. Very similar to tin/iron will rust from water. Then the strength you thought you had will be gone. Maybe you would be better with a rigid plastic mesh for reinforcement.
The minimum is a quarter inch, it all depends on the stamp you are using though. If the overlay is too thin for the stamp you will end up getting bald spots on the stamped surface
All concrete cracks over time because the ground below it moves. That is why sidewalks are made of many large squares in a row instead of one seamless sidewalk of concrete. The spaces are cut to control the cracks. If you don't have them, the concrete will crack randomly and look really ugly. If you are using a stamped overlay over existing concrete, you should make the same cuts that the previous concrete had. If you are doing this over a plywood floor, you don't need to worry bout this.
I like your product and the video presentation. What was the thickness of the stamped concrete floor in the video and is there a minimum thickness? Thank you, George V.
First, this is beautiful! Second, if we just use the coloring in the original cement mixture and dont add additional stain after the concrete dries, do you still have to seal it? Thanks so much.
You technically wont have to, but its always recommended. Unsealed concrete gets weathered much quicker, and the UV rays from the sun will fade the color away. This looks especially ugly when certain areas are shaded more often (under a porch covering, where the car is usually parked etc.) Not to mention that unsealed concrete is much easier to stain, and most stains are almost impossible to fully remove.
That looks awesome, I'm getting ready to do a 3foot high by 8 feet long wall and I want it to look just like ur video. any recommendations on how to mix concrete for a wall may size? this is a first time project with concrete.thanks!
Thanks man, the problem is that this is made for floors because of how large the mold is. You could maybe pull it off with two people holding the mold vertically, but we don't recommend it. Check out our Wall Stamps designed just for vertical overlays- globmarble.com/stamped-concrete/wall-stamps/ also check out our video on how to apply them- ruclips.net/video/-0Soi8eSdXw/видео.html

How does this work for exterior concrete walkways and the frost heave for freezing in winter? I expect you would have to do areas in slabs with breaks or it would crack the first winter. (We get -40C winters)

Glad it was helpful! Make sure the contractor is experienced with stamping though!!
You did a great job. You are detailed & patient.
Thank you :)
Centre concrete layer for stamping is so thin will not crack or crack when the car or truck is driving on top of it?
Nope, this mix is designed for existing slabs of concrete, including driveways
Love this idea seems a lot less expensive than tile. I’m wondering if method is nonslip? I’m looking for an inexpensive tile alternative without having to worry about it being slippery when it’s wet.
If doing an indoor stamp job you can use the GU-30 sealer, and if doing exterior, you can add our matting additive to our hs200 sealer
great job ...think maybe you can do one in a slate
Check out our ashlar slate video- ruclips.net/video/Y6IPKbW_Y2k/видео.html

Concrete is much more durable than delicate ceramic :)
Great job, simple & to the point!
Glad it was helpful!
Are u adding any concrete flow control to the concrete or was it just your standard cement bags and mixing just as is?
I only used our Surestamp bag and modifier
Good job, can save a lot on tiles..may I know where I can buy the stamping form?

Thanks :) Video of stamping an entire porch, backyard, walkway and sidewalk coming soon!! We will cover tight working spaces there
What type of concrete should I use if I’m doing this as bedroom flooring? (High strength, fast setting, etc.?)
If you use the stamp for an indoor floor and you do not want to have the grooves, what do you recommend? Still the sealer?
Im not sure I follow. You want to avoid seeing the grout lines of the stones?
Very nice work.

Nice work. how thick is the slab? how much is the approximately cost of this finish. I mean per square foot.
Great job!! Can I make it walls in out side too? With the same process?
If you are doing wall stamp you need specific materials and stamps. You can watch a video on it here- ruclips.net/video/-0Soi8eSdXw/видео.html
That is a LOT of work.
Witch things u mix in overlay mass except piment color?
You can find links to all the materials I used in the description of the video
Just a little confused. Would this crack with it being such a thin layer?
Concrete cracks are prevented by making control joint cuts in concrete. Re-cut the control joints where they were on the original slab, and you will be fine
Hi, its strong enough? Looks very thin cement layer.Or its just for presentation?
The SureStamp is designed for a thin application like this, even on driveways. Using regular concrete in the same way would never work.
am I wrong thinking he should have wet the base before tossing on the mix?
What concrete degreaser did you use to remove the release agent?
Its called SCR. The links to every product I used are in the description below :)
Where I can learn this type of job in Houston tx where are training courses
Unfortunately, we do not offer training courses anymore, but this product is surprisingly beginner friendly. Since it's an overlay, you can try to do the same thing in the video for a sample and not have to pour a whole slab of concrete :)
Does it last longer that floor tiles
Is it necessary to cut expansion joints in a stamped floor?
Yes, its best to cut the joints where the original cuts were
Whats material can i use like oil release?
could you mix 3 different colors separately, then kinda mix them as you spread and level the concrete?
You could, but I wouldn't recommend it. I don't imagine it would look good.
@@GlobMarble Thank you!
Yes but then you'll have a two toned 'stone'. You're better off doing the stamp sections themselves
Great instructions 💯. Thanks 👍

Question so can I use it in my front yard and just put several pieces of plywood together doing it the old-fashioned way of laying the concrete?
You absolutely could, but be sure to staple some aluminum expanded mesh to that plywood to have a great bond between the stamping overlay and the plywood. Otherwise it will chip off and ruin all that hard work!
GlobMarble😳 ???😳. ‘ Laboratory testing’ and ‘weather elements testing’ shows over time , the aluminum will be eroded away by the concrete chemistry. Very similar to tin/iron will rust from water. Then the strength you thought you had will be gone. Maybe you would be better with a rigid plastic mesh for reinforcement.
Beatifull work!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wht is the minumum thickness of concrete stamped?
The minimum is a quarter inch, it all depends on the stamp you are using though. If the overlay is too thin for the stamp you will end up getting bald spots on the stamped surface
