What are the advantages of stenciled concrete?
Stenciled concrete gives the appearance of real stone, tile or brick without the higher installation costs and maintenance, available in a wide range of colors and patterns to choose from, with more options for the contractor and homeowner. Stenciled concrete leaves a flat and even surface better suited for pool decks, walkways, driveways and interior floors.
How many patterns are available?
DCI manufactures the industry's largest selection of patterns available, available in paper for cast-in-place, overlayment, drywall, and asphalt applications.
Why choose DCI?
Our stencils are made with a thicker, more durable, double sided poly-coated paper similar to poster board. The stencil lays flat, doesn't obsorb moisture and because the paper is thicker and more durable it is easier to align and remove.

What is overlay or coatings?
Generally, overaly or coatings are a polymer, sand, and cement mixture that can be used on existing cement to resurface it. Stencils can be adheared to the existing concrete surface with sticky tack and sprayed with the overlay or coating. The stencils are then removed and the surface is cleaned and sealed.
What should I do if my stencils are not laying flat?
Your stencil will curl naturally in one direction. Always install stencil curl side down on the surface. Always install stencil in one direction only-do not flip or rotate the rows of stencils.
Will stenciled concrete be harmed under freeze/thaw conditions?
No, provided you maintain with sealer. A good sealer is the key to protecting your concrete from ice and deicing salts.
