Other Options

Using homemade tools, Trueform Concrete can distress your pieces on the edge details and/or surface to create an aged, Old World look and feel. These markings are sanded to remove any sharp edges.

Concrete allows you to incorporate many other materials such as metal, tile, shells, fossils, coins, etc. This allows you to be creative and truly personalize your concrete pieces. There are some items that will not work, but a lot that can. Let us know if you have something in mind that you would like to use.

Stencils can be used to add a unique touch to your concrete piece. Trueform Concrete does have some stock stencils, but you can also provide your own to be used. Custom stencils can also be made based on a drawing that you would provide.

Acid stains penetrate the surface of the concrete and react chemically with the lime in the cement. This creates a unique look with a lot of variation in color. Once the stain reacts, it becomes part of the concrete. Like wood stains, acid stains will vary depending on the color and condition of the substrate they are applied to as well as the amount that is applied and the length of time that it is applied for.
