THE BRICKFORM
Stamped Concrete System
Stamped concrete is the foundational decorative
concrete system. Brickform is the leading name in
stamped concrete, with half a century of experience
in manufacturing professional grade materials for the
concrete contractor.
Texture – Surface textures are created by patterned
stamps and seamless texture skins.
Color – Integral color is mixed in the concrete truck and
will create color throughout the concrete. Color Hardener is
topically applied and allows for some freedom to color the
concrete with bold or pastel colors that cannot be achieved
with integrally colored concrete because of its gray base.
Antiquing colors add definition and variation. Stains are
also available to color your new or existing concrete
projects. They may be used as accent colors to create a
one-of-a-kind final look.
Sealer – Many different sealers are available that provide
Large Ashlar Cut Slate various levels of color enhancement, surface sheen and
Stone Gray Color Hardener / Medium Gray Antique Release protections for your concrete hardscape.
Maintenance & Restoration – Stamped concrete should
be periodically cleaned using a broom, water, and mild
detergent such as Neutra Clean. Generally, concrete
should also be resealed using the same sealer every two
to three years, or as conditions dictate.

When CHOOSING COLORS for stamped concrete, it is recommended to compliment your existing
hardscape versus trying to match an existing color. The sample pictures below are to help you identify
approximate color ranges for your base color and your release. Look at the samples below and
identify which of the combinations of base color (Color Hardener or Integral Color) and release agent
4
are similar to what you are looking for. Then on the following pages, find the pattern you like and refer
back to these pages to finalize your color selection. Always remember, these are pictures of samples.
To ensure the true coloration, request a jobsite sample from your contractor prior to installation.

SEAMLESS TEXTURE SKINS are feathered edge stamping tools that can be rotated and
overlapped for infinite texture variety. Texture skins can be used to touch up and supplement patterned
textures, or they can be used as the primary tool for a striking, continuous texture.

STONE is a natural material with inherent beauty. For centuries, it has been the standard paving and
building material. While its rustic appeal still holds in modern times, the expense and limitations are a
deterrent. Stone textures for stamped concrete reduce the labor costs and give more creative control and
uniformity without sacrificing visual appeal.
