2019-01-08

Concrete engraving is the act of remodeling existing concrete by cutting patterns and texture into the surface. It transform your plain, boring concrete into a work of art.

Concrete engraving is an economical way to spruce up the concrete surfaces, either interior or exterior concrete. Indoors engraving can be used to create unique patterns and designs for restaurants, stores or residential entryways. Outdoors engraving can be used to transform a driveway, walkway, pool deck, patio or even a parking lot. It's possible to engrave a picture, photo or logo into your concrete floor.

The engraving process involves two components: color and texture. Before engraving, you can add colors to the concrete with a concrete stain. Stained concrete surfaces can be very artistic with an experienced installer. Next, engraving the concrete with the proper tools and the pattern you picked out. Last, remember applying sealers to protect the surface against the elements.

One of the great things about concrete engraving is that it doesn't add any thickness to the top of the concrete, which can affect water drainage.

It is easy to achieve many unique designs and special effects by concrete engraving. If you are looking for a special engraving patterns, you can try it.
