Precision stamped concrete tools

Concrete Construction, July, 2003

Matcrete products from this company include three-dimensional texturing tools, seamless texture skins, and cast-aluminum tools. Shown are texture stamps measuring 36x36 inches and having a Grand Ashlar Slate pattern. This is just one of many slate patterns available and just one category of texture stamps.

Others are brick, cobblestone, specialty, stone, tile, and wood, and overlay, which provide a shallow profile and are recommended for microtoppings. Overall the company offers more than 200 standard stamp patterns, as well as custom designs. Seamless texture mats have tapered edges, leave no joint lines, and are easy to handle. The cast aluminum tools leave a non-textured imprinted pattern, can be used to stamp up to 1 1/2 inches deep, and can be grouted. 800-777-7063. www.matcrete.net. Circle 4.
