Concrete RollersInstant Transformation with Decorative Concrete Texture Rollers by Walttools. Adding a decorative border to a small-scale concrete project is a relatively simple task for a trained concrete contractor. But when you need to apply that border to a miles-long road project, this simple task can quickly become a real challenge. Fortunately, there’s a simple, cost-effective solution to this problem: concrete pattern rollers. Decorative concrete rollers are a time-efficient method for applying concrete border patterns for projects that are long or curvy. They are especially useful for department of transportation (DOT) projects such as medians, sidewalks and shoulders that require a pattern that is relatively narrow (8” to 10”) and continue for a long distance. Wider rollers apply a seamless stone-like surface. Seamless rollers are available in 9, 18 and 24 inch wide sizes. You can also use the wider concrete stamp curb rollers to place a border on a patio slab or decorate a control joint. Edge patterns can be colored to match corresponding stamp patterns or made to contrast. Rollers are available in an assortment of realistic patterns. Popular patterns include cobblestone, slate, worn brick and Victorian. It is common practice to apply a powder or liquid release agent…

Liners & InsertsMost people do not find concrete that is straight out of wall forms very attractive because it is plain, boring, and drab to look at. On the contrary, most people enjoy color and texture on concrete walls. As long as that holds true, all of us in the decorative concrete industry may have a job. The imperfections in a smooth wall created by formwork or voids end up adding character to a decorative concrete wall.

Seatwall & Hardscape Hardscape Systems is based upon a the tried-and-true construction material EPS foam. It has been reliably used for decades and is known (strangely) for its strength and durability. EPS possesses ideal physical and mechanical properties for many construction needs. As a result of its manufacturing process, aging does not effect the long-term stability of EPS. Due to its flexibility and versatility, it can be cut into sheets, blocks, slabs, or any desired design to meet specific building construction requirements, as well as customized designs. EPS is used as insulation in walls, roofs, and foundations, and serves as an integral component of structural insulated panels, insulated concrete forms, and exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS). In the artificial rock world, there is nothing easier than using foam to create a multitude of shapes and designs. From humble beginnings, EPS has grown into one of the most versatile insulating materials used in construction today. The “Unit” is the core of the Hardscape Systems existence. It consists of six, 4 foot sections of a patented cut EPS foam block, top panel, and reinforced bendable rails. Those combined with 7 bags (enough for 24 ft) of Structure Coat and you have the start…

ColoringSEE PRODUCT CATEGORIES | SEE GALLERY Concrete is a fantastic building material. It can be poured, molded, shaped, carved, stacked or sprayed into nearly any pattern, texture or shape you need. It can be made into almost any color you desire, too, whether that’s bold, subdued or blended in with the surroundings. Get that plain gray concrete turned into something decorative with coloring products. Customization is Simple with Concrete Coloring Products Concrete is a porous material that can be stained, painted or dyed in many different ways to achieve various effects, looks or themes. The only problem you’ll have is choosing a color method; so many options exist. However, depending on the project you’re undertaking, you may find it easier to either color the concrete upfront or do so later. The upfront choices are typically integral color and color hardener. Integral color, often referred to as concrete dye, involves adding a pigment — in the redi-mix truck or by hand — to the concrete while it mixes. It colors concrete all the way through and is excellent for slabs that are subject to heavy traffic and abuse. On the other hand, color hardener provides a similar look to integral color,…
