These Stamps Transform Concrete Into Wood And Stone - Навчання та стиль
That wood effect blew my mind. The texture, the colour, everything was so meticulously finished.
Yeah until you walk on it and go oh..
Straight up
Why not really wood? Because yes
it will wear out in a month, top.
@@anggaros1 Ya thats what i was thinking
We had this done, years ago, Twice!. First time they didn’t cut an expansion gap in it, to stop it cracking naturally, and they forgot to add powdered glass to the top coat of sealer. It turned out to not an ice rink in the winter. It was so slippery, the post office served us a notice to say they couldn’t deliver mail anymore! Suffice to say they did the whole job again, correctly. The colour wore away under car tyres, but the top surface can be redone every 5 years or so
I was about to write this...
Problem with non smooth concrete with cracks is that water and ice demolishe it very very quickly...
hey a word of advice if you dont know it already, if you live in an area with ice, dont put salt on your concrete, it will pop up layers of the concrete, use calcium chloride. i would just be mindful of pet paws, as with any other deicer.
@@nathanbohn1078 for sure on the pet paws. My dogs cannot handle it on their paws.
That's fuckin hilarious dude
@DanOfTheWild If a dog was this much trouble, then I hope you don't have kids, otherwise you may be due for a visit from CPS.
"What are you doing with that broom?" "I'm agitating the porch"
😂
the look is great, ive done this plank look on many jobs. but i have to point out a huge mistake. possibly one that could result in a lot of cracking and possibly a complete redo of the job. way back in the beginning, when the truck started pouring, they never lifted the rebar into the concrete. the rebar is there to reinforce the concrete, when it lays on the ground and the concrete is poured over it, it is useless. it needs to be inside the concrete. also, for pads there are better wire mesh rolls or panels that can be used rather than rebar. i always suggest wire mesh in the field and rebar around the edges. the plank look is great, and i hope this lasts for the sake of those who had it done, but a beutiful plank concrete job, like any other job, is only as good as its foundation.
well, the only thing i referred to as a mistake was not lifting the rebar into the concrete. and that most certianly is a huge mistake.
So you mean like the rebar is supposed to be in the middle instead of at the bottom right. I don't know anything about construction much but I would like to have similar kind of concrete floor in my own house someday so gotta know as much info as I can.
Maybe they already added it and it's a different kind? I'm not in construction but I'm sure it may be there
@@fynnthurlow7508 there using actual bar styled rebar that is already lifted off the ground and set halfway into the concrete it's about 1/8 - 1/4 in round, in short runs like that it wouldn't bend at all either. This type of rebar doesn't need to be lifted it's already lifted when they set it into the form and doesn't move from there
The small grid/mesh style rebar needs to be pulled, that stuff comes in big spools, this bar style rebar comes in long bars that you cut down to size and lay into a grid pattern
I was working with a company out of a place called Natural Bridge in Fl. We did the bridge there very similar only stained it after the stamping with a acid base stain as we couldn't add color in the d.o.t. concrete. Neat concept all around.
That concrete work is worth more than that house. 😎🤣
Lol! Get out of my head!
Probably not the work is kind of sloppy wouldn’t pay that much for there work .
@@edgargee408 super sloppy, they didnt even mask the siding of the house. And the Edge work along with the ends were half assed.
Idk if this was a demonstration video or a real job, but I would be so displeased with this job.
So this is CON-crete
The wood texture would look fab in a kitchen
Adding pigment to the concrete and coating it afterwards with epoxy like in supermarkets would make a durable surface.
Why would you want a concrete floor in a kitchen?
@@torkakarshiro5170 Some places have concrete floors because it's cheaper and easier than wood , tile, or linoleum and.
@@2degucitas But is so much less beautiful and it feels totally different and it is obviously faking something it is not.
@@torkakarshiro5170 True. But, for some it's all that's available.
Beautiful work!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That looks so good. Really people in the u.s. should use more concrete material so that their homes are more stable against the elements and way longer lasting over time.
Yes Americans should, but don’t forget the cost of production and construction for these materials and builds
Here in America, we can't afford it. Too busy paying for everyone else's shit. Getting sucked dry by greedy politicians giving our money away.
We use too much concrete. It is creating heat islands in iur citites and forcing more use of AC. We need more greenspace.
No. They need to enforce more stringent building codes and engineer homes better. Concrete is great but destroying our planet. It is not the end game answer at all.
Aside from that, im with ya this looks great, these moulds are awesome.
@@joniboulware1436 I never knew that 😩😩 maybe that's why it's easier to be in a hot climate year round with concrete buildings. In America they do need to figure out something to withstand severe weather.
Pretty freaking cool!
Excellent work
I did stamped concrete work for a year. Best job ever.
Why only for a year then?
@@StanHowse owner was a degenerate gambler and alcoholic. Tried to NOT pay me a few times
Even more grooves for dirt to get in
I liked the flagstone look. Pretty sharp.
Beautiful work.
That's excellent!
I wanna do this with a concrete/rubber mixture so it won't ever crack and the design will stay forever beautiful 😍❤
Where do you get the rubber pellets?
Do you think that could work in the house? A rubberized concrete floor?
@@closetculture3025 I don't see why not, a lot of people use it for their entire garage floors, so I don't see way it couldn't be done in a kitchen or whatever. I think it would be super pretty inside! I love that idea!
@@TheRubinator13 Oh my god yes! I'm doing it! Thank you for the inspiration!
All concrete cracks. No matter what you add to it, it will crack. It will also weaken the concrete. You can add fibermesh but it will still crack. Unfortunately all concrete cracks. I will guarantee that. Lol
This is awesome!!!
Looks super cool.....hard work for sure!
Very professional looking. 👏
Looks awesome 👌
Placing concrete over rebar laying directly on the base ( in this case crushed stone ) will probably lead to premature failure (due to corrosion) of the rebar. I also wonder what was done to campact the crushed stone before the pour?
That rebar should be dobied up to the center of slab. Some installers will try to pull it up while pouring, which is highly suspect. 3/4" crushed rock won't compact, but is suitable for base material under the right conditions. There's no masking on the house, meaning concrete splatter and powder stains are likely.
Yeah, I was like, where your lean concrete?
Would have been nice to see the finished look for longer than a split second from a distance...
Yeah, but than the people would have noticed the splattered wall...
dang didnt know it takes that much work!! turned out beautifully!
It is back breaking work. And if you screw up even one plank or stamp, you're done! The bigger stamps weigh 30lbs+. Sometimes the weather changes and the mud cures too fast or too slow. And don't get me started on rain!
Fascinating! If I had y own place that would be a definite!
This is brilliant! It's crazy what people think of.
Stamps…. So innovative 👏
That was super cool
Wow, impressive!
My son-in-law’s father specialized in stamped concrete.
I went to my daughter’s house and saw their new flagstone driveway. They weren’t home.
I inspected it for quite a while, even crawling on my hands and knees.
I finally figured out it was concrete, not stone.
I have poured concrete. But that was impressive.
This was really nice
Amazing. Thanks
Ahhh the home owners are gonna lovvvvee this on lol
Awesome, indeed!
Makes me wish I owned a home
I really like this.
I love it.
Epic bro, this is epic
Super cool. Plus saves money and trees.
How cool! 🙂
That is a hell of a job. I am surprised this is the first time I’m ever seeing this
Still need sealing every couple of years
Great look. Worth the effort and price.
You guys did a great 👍 job 👌 buddy!! You learn something all the time thanks for that video guys
Wow this is new to me great work
I would laugh my ass off i drove by or was at a job site and they were playing this videos music, LoL
A very labor intensive process, wow. The end product looks nice and all, but I'm guessing it costs a lot of money for that sort of decor.
Whole new meaning to concrete jungle
Pretty amazing and well designed bravo 👏🏼👌🏼
Stunning work guys! I'm loving it! 😎😎😎✌️
DOPE!!!
Love it
I don't know about other but in my country (India) we have tiles (can be made into any texture wood, glass etc) made of concrete for the floor.
Finished look appears to need a power washing. The stone looks like it has mold. Great idea but could be executed better IMHO. Faux wood looks good. I “wood” like to see more color variations instead of “clean and dirty”. Like dark red or honey color instead of gray added.
This honestly looks amazing.
Nice job. Can't wait to see the cracks due to no expansion cuts and that steel mesh left hard on the ground rather than setting on chairs off the ground.
That is cool
Wow!!
It's pretty but the more concrete we use, the less drainage for flooding.
I love the idea!
Yes, but that doesn't apply next to houses because you want to keep the foundation dry.
Great for water staying inside the texture.
We did this on our patio- it looked great and was much cheaper than real stone!
Were the exterior walls of your house affected?
I’m interested in doing a sidewalk with the top design being some of those black rubber floor mats with a design in it. Put down the concrete, smooth it, lay and press down the rubber mat into the concrete and then once the design is transferred to the concrete, pull the rubber mat up for the next section. I wouldn’t want it deep but enough to see the design from the mat, and I’m thinking it may make the surface less slick if it has some texture to the concrete. Pros? Cons?
Quite a bit of work involved, but great end result. Generally I think I'd prefer the real thing - a real wood deck or real flagstones. But I can see how in some cases this would be preferable.
Heck yeah this could be a weekend DIY project that you and a partner could do without a crew🙄!
just wondering, could they do a bouncy castle texture?
Just imagine you trip and you're about to land on somewhat harmless wood, when in fact you're about to get a taste of concrete.
Beautiful an brilliantly done!!
Can this be done as an overlay on an existing concrete patio? Or is this really only for new pours?
Also can be with overlay
Excellent looking work! What's the ratio of muriatic acid to water please?
That was bloody fantastic I stay in the UK where can I buy the equipment for this ?
You don't have Google in the uk or what?
Walttools
Cool idea, terrible edges. I would be pissed if my deck (patio) edges looked shreddy and the stain finish splashed up on my siding like that.
where did you get the patterns to buy??
Much easier to build with some quality lumbar
The real thing is more expensive
Awesome.
Meanwhile the other half of the people are trying to make their wood floors look like tile. Lol
It looks great, but with all of the work involved and many processes, is it any cheaper than using the real thing? Just curious. Cool though!
Are people doing this indoor with heated cement floors?
So much work, isn't it easier, cheaper and overall better to do the real thing?
That's what I was thinking.
Так конечно красиво!!!
Но это будет очень очень сколько зимой.
What color is the concrete stain here ? I love the color but can’t get the right name of it !
Hi!
Please, what is the name of the product and the factory?
Thanks.
Man is that ever pretty!
0:26 Такую доску да на опалубку! Повбывал бы! )
This works better in Southern states. It only looks good for awhile. Don't add salt , scrape or snowplow. Have to seal every year. To keep the look. When wet don't fall . Lots of colors you can do with regular concrete.
Uh, you do know that you can get the same effect with the rough wooden molds that are standard anyway?
Cheaper this way.
Let's see if they can do that at my house 😉
4 stars over 5 since you have to repaint the wall.
It’s nice to see some real craftsmanship!
All the steps probably make it as expensive as a wooden patio, which lasts very long even in horrendous wind and seawater conditions like my place.
Muy laborioso trabajo, pero más económico que la piedra. Bello resultado. Felicitaciones! 👍👏👏👏
Can vertical applications be done? I.e walls
Can you make Concrete walls? (Yes) Then I don't see why they couldn't then be stamped.
This looks like something that belongs in the 90s.
the camera work in this is so cute 😍
looks good! that's what I want for my backyard
AMAZING 😲
Those stamps are expensive as hell! Its way more cost effective to make the platform out of wood or other RAIN RESISTANT materials
Those stamps and be reused over and over again
No it isn't. The cost of the stamps isn't passed off to customer. These days stamped is cheaper than real lumber so......
This has got to be the CRAZIEST thing I have ever seen!! An entire concrete pour and not one paisa!?!? I don’t trust it lol
whats a paisa?
@@1zippy a Mexican lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it just me or the before looks better than the after. Look at the walls for crying out loud they made a mess of the walls. If I owned the place I'd be annoyed as hell
They are probably intending to paint or reside the siding. They won't leave it like that
😲
They got concrete all over the siding. Simple plastic would have fixed that. Now the homeowners need to get their siding painted.
