A high quality disposable stencil is used for creating different decorative effects. Stenciled concrete is very similar to stamped concrete.  The important difference is that this process utilizes disposable paper stencils to impart the pattern instead of rubber mats.

Stencils for concrete come in a wide array of patterns.  Because the stencils mask off the underlying surface, they leave behind realistic "mortar joints" the colour of the gray concrete base.

By applying a dry-shake color hardener to the exposed concrete before stencil removal, you'll get the appearance of individual stones, tiles or bricks that have been mortared together.

After the concrete sets sufficiently, the crack control joints are saw cut, and the slab is cleaned and sealed.

Stencilled concrete looks fabulous as a driveway and it is also commonly found in pool decks, patios, entrance ways, courtyards and footpaths.
