Global warming is a burning issue across the world. Stamped concrete as a green and sustainable flooring option, conserves resources by functioning as a foundation and finished floor. More importantly, it also helps in preserving energy and improving indoor air quality.
Being extremely resilient, it is difficult to damage. Its denser, solid continuous surface does not allow anything to grow-up through the cracks. Nor can things like high heels, pet claws, or heavy furniture legs spoil its surface.

A. Wash the floor periodically with water and a standard neutral (sans acidic content) detergent. Then the slab can be kept clean by sweeping it at regular intervals.
It is also recommended to apply a new coat of protective resin on stamped concrete at periodic intervals, factoring in the type of traffic it handles. This will keep it protected and beautiful.
Once in 5-8 years, it is recommended to carry out extraordinary maintenance.
• Power-wash the stamped concrete twice a year.
• Keep dirt and other stains off the concrete to extend its life and color.

In case, you have issues of slipping, just contact our team who will make sure that you have the additive in your sealer.
