Stamped concrete in Ghana is concrete that is patterned and/or textured or embossed to resemble brick, slate, flagstone, stone, tile, wood, and various other patterns and textures.
Stamped concrete is commonly used for patios, sidewalks, driveways, pool decks, and interior flooring.
Many homeowners in Ghana wonder if it is worth the cost to install a stamped concrete patio or driveway.
The answer is yes, because it adds curb appeal and aesthetic value to your home, allowing you to maximize the return on your investment.
Provided it's installed correctly and adequately maintained in most part of Ghana, stamped concrete will last just as long as non-stamped, or standard, concrete—about 25 years.
Stamped concrete is easy to maintain. In general, sweeping and wet mopping with water are sufficient for regular maintenance of a stamped concrete surface.
You can also mop or pressure wash the surface with a mild detergent. Make sure you avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on stamped concrete surfaces.
Sealer is key to maintaining beautiful decorative concrete, protecting your investment, and increasing your curb appeal.
Sealer acts as a protective topical membrane which repels stains, harmful chemicals and water from penetrating the surface.
Applying a sealer annually is recommended for maximum protection of your concrete surface.
