Prior to imprinting the surface, a colored release agent is applied. This release agent acts as a curing agent, releasing agent, and gives the surface a two-tone look.

The surface is them imprinted with one of 40 designs, including brick, American Flagstone, and Ashlar Slate, to name a few. The release agent is removed, concrete control cuts are placed in accordance with ACI standards, and then the surface is sealed with two coats of sealer to protect it from fading or staining and from all of nature’s elements.
