It is beautiful and affordable Ideal Work stamped concrete maintains the practicality of concrete yet transforms it into a surface full of aesthetic appeal by recreating the natural beauty of stone, rock, ceramic, brick and even wood. However, the price is definitely more competitive and the laying times are extraordinarily more rapid.


It is unique and customizable Don't set limits to your imagination: Ideal Work concrete flooring goes along with your personality and it adapts to it. Think about a customized solution for your floor and discuss about it with our experts: it is possible to customise the flooring by choosing from a range of stamps, colours and decorations that can be obtained, for example, with coloured salts, filling joints, side frets or ornamental rosettes.


It is practical Ideal Work Stamped concrete is a monolithic concrete slab and therefore not subject to sinking or settling. This is the great difference between continuously reinforced concrete slabs and unit pavers or natural stone all of which, moreover, are more sensitive to thermal shocks. Ideal Work additionally eliminates the problem of weeds growing between individual units and the slabs created are perfect for roads, public squares, cycle paths, pavements, pedestrian areas, shopping malls, hotels, camping grounds and theme parks (which usually require great maintenance).


It is solid and resistant There are situations in which the flooring must support very heavy loads, for example, access ramps to garages, car parks or others. There is no good reason not to give these places a much more pleasing appearance than would be the case with standard concrete flooring. By treating the surfaces appropriately with special hardeners before stamping, Ideal Work enables the desired colour to be obtained and, moreover, doubles the normal resistance to abrasion and wear and tear compared to normal concrete.


It is quick to realize Unlike all other standard external concrete flooring, Ideal Work floors are very rapid to realize. First of all, they need no screed: once the surface is ready, it is possibile to cast the concrete. Moreover, there is no need to build containment edges, as the surface is created on a unique cast-in-place concrete slab. In only one day, based on the season, a team of Ideal Work installers is able to lay around 200 square metres of stamped concrete in around 4-5 days and the concrete will be ready to be walked on after just a few hours from completion.


It is suitable for all climatic conditions The flooring is treated with a special protective resin that makes it resistant to mould, dust and absorption, and therefore stain-proof. In areas with cold climates, subject to freezing/thawing cycles or in contact with sea water, it is possible to apply a special sealant that makes the surface water-salt repellent and so resistant to extreme agents.
