Engraving New or Old Concrete

Can both existing and new pour concrete be engraved?

New concrete is engraved after allowing the concrete to cure for 3-4 weeks. Then simply clean the surface and start the procedure.

For old concrete, a thorough cleaning is necessary. According to Roger Misfud of Brickburner, any dirt, grease, paint, sealer or curing agent will prevent the stain from penetrating and reacting.

The flaws in old concrete can actually contribute to the look of engraved concrete with many patterns.
