Costs for Concrete Stamps and Accessories

The table below shows the average cost ranges for concrete stamping mats, texturing skins, and accessory items, including medallions, stamp rollers and textured step liners. Most stamping mats today are constructed of a durable polyurethane that provides many reuses. However, they come in a wide variety of patterns, sizes, and textures, all of which can impact the final price you pay. Here’s what you need to consider before purchasing concrete stamps, along with a few buying strategies to help you get the most value for your investment.

Factors That Can Influence Stamp Costs

• Shipping: If you order concrete stamps and tools online or by phone, be sure to inquire about the shipping costs and return policy. Find out if factors such as the weight of the shipment, shipping distance, or total cost of the order will influence the final cost. Also, ask if there’s a restocking fee if you need to return your purchase. Even better, save the shipping costs by locating a local distributor in your area. Find suppliers of concrete stamps and texturing skins.
• Bulk purchasing: You may get a price break if you buy all stamping tools from the same vendor and in packages or sets that include all the tools and accessories you’ll need for an average project. You’ll also ensure better compatibility by using patterns from the same product line.

Buying Tips:

• Don’t cut corners: Always buy the best stamps you can afford. Not only will well-built top-quality stamps last longer, they will also improve the quality of your work.
• Stick with the basics: If you’re just starting out, you can get a lot of mileage from just three or so basic patterns, such as a slate, cobblestone, and brick. As your business grows, you can add additional patterns to your stamping tool inventory so you can offer customers more options.
• Do your homework: Ask experienced stamping contractors about the tools they prefer to use and why. Also, compare the stamps from several manufacturers and ask them to explain what makes their tools superior.
• Buy enough tools for the job: Because you have a short window of time for stamping concrete, having enough stamps on hand is crucial to prevent the concrete from drying faster than you can stamp it. As a general rule of thumb, you should have at least enough tools to form a row spanning the widest area of the slab, plus two extra stamps to start another row.
• Match the tool to the application: There are several basic types of stamping tools for concrete flatwork, including rigid or semi-rigid mats, flex mats (or “floppies”) and skins. Each serves a different purpose, and some are better suited than others for particular applications.
• Ask about the warranty: Some stamp manufacturers stand behind the durability of their products by offering lifetime warranties. Others will replace at no cost tools that tear or have obvious defects.
