Every inch of Concrete Texturing’s faux flagstone is done by hand. This means every simulated stone is individually cut, shaped, textured and colored. Concrete Texturing is one of the few companies in the nation who create faux flagstone with this method.
Less craft minded companies install their flagstone using stencils, stamps and tape. These methods cannot create the realistic look of flagstone. They were created to standardize and minimize training and installation efforts. The very nature of stamps, stencils and tape create a uniform pattern, which is desirable in some patterns such as slate, brick or tile. However, uniformity does not lend itself to a flagstone effect. The most desirable flagstone surfaces are created when each individual faux stone is different in color, size and texture. This can only be created by hand crafting each stone.
“On top it looked exactly like the color we wanted. The crew came out on time and powered washed all areas to be colored and sealed. Area was scraped so color would hold better next a type of primer went down since we were changing color. A picture was taken of the color we wanted. As the color was being put down it did not look like what we wanted, but after the second coat of another color went down it was exactly what we had wanted. The next day the crew came back and asked if we wanted any change to the color we said no and the area was sealed with acrylic and then that was sealed with a polyethylene sealer. The financed product was amazing.”
