For the architect and designer it is a hardscape and interior flooring solution that can help create a theme and provide the finishing touch to a project no matter what the budget. Let your imagination be your guide. In most cases YES. Concrete is considered a renewal and “green” building material and there are several ways Increte can help your project qualify for LEED status. Stamped concrete is first and foremost, concrete. Meaning anywhere one would use concrete, you can have the Increte system. That means interior as well as exterior surfaces. Whether your project is residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, industrial, municipal/government…even parking lots and roadways, Increte will provide beauty and durability. As long as you talking about concrete floors, yes, Thincrete is a great choice for interiors.

It is hard to tell the differenc e between Thincrete and natural materials. Also, at ¼” to 3/8” thick, you rarely have to worry about doors, thresholds, and transitions to other flooring materials. Where can I get technical help, installation guides, and application tips? You can pull the tech and data sheets directly from this website.

Remember, Thincrete is NOT a do-it-yourself type product and should only be installed by a qualified Increte contractor. Thincrete is one of the many decorative concrete systems taught at our two day training seminar The chemistry is the same, the difference is in how it is colored. Spray Deck uses a pigmented acrylic sealer that provides a one color finished surface. With texturecrete, color is added to the mix (integrally colored) so youend up with multiple colors and the ability to have patterns sprayed over stencils or tape. Check out the photo gallery and you will see many examples of each. Cover the area with plastic making sure not to leave open areas or wrinkles. I see this product in a lot of interior flooring. What about exterior applications? Since Staincrete creates a variegated and marbled look, it is the product of choice for inerior floors. That natural stone look is just as striking on exterior slabs. There are a few colos that aren’t recommended for exteriors due to possible color change, so please check the tech and data sheets or call an Increte tech rep at 800-752-4626 before beginning your project. While there are only 9 base colors, those colors can be diluted with water and mixed together to achieve an almost limitless variety of shades. The unique Staincrete technology uses metallic chlorides to provide color, not the typical pigments found in other types of stains, dyes, and coatings. The marbling results from the stain reacting with the minerals in the concrete. Staincrete isn’t a film or coating. The raw materials in the concrete mix, how the slab was finished and cured, even the weather and other jobsite conditions play a factor in how the stain reacts with the slab. So, there is no way to ensure an exact look… and that’s the beauty of this product. Every job is a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art. After doing a test area, there are several techniques that one can use to achieve more marbling and variation in the color. These techniques and other best practices are taught in detail at the Increte Decorative Concrete Training Seminar. Increte produces vinyl stencils in a wide variety of sizes and styles. Because we manufacture these in house, we can custom design almost anything you can imagine, including borders, company logos, compass points, medallions, etc. No matter what your project calls for, Increte has everything you need.
