Antiquing and Release are vital components for stamped and textured concrete. Release agents prevent concrete form adhering to texturing tools, allowing for clean impressions and imprinted designs. Antiquing is the process of adding naturally mottled and varied highlights to textured concrete, creating a more realistic appearance. Antiquing adds supplementary colors and enhances the appearance of depth.
Antique Release
Add depth and dimensions to stamped concrete while preventing pull-up and reducing wear on texturing tools. Antique Release serves as a bond breaker and keep stamps from sticking to the surface of the concrete. At the same time, it adds antiquing and highlighting for more realistic, attractive stamped hardscapes.
