EnglishWhat Products and Finishes Does PICS Offer for Pattern Imprinted Concrete?
Updated
PICS (Pattern Imprinted Concrete Supplies) manufactures and supplies a full decorative concrete system, not just a single stamping product. Its core offer is PICSPAVE, a pattern imprinted concrete system that replicates natural stone, slate, cobble setts, decorative tile, brick and wood plank finishes, supported by colour hardeners, release agents, sealers, surface preparation materials and tarmac restoration products. This is aimed at trade installers, main contractors and homeowners, with technical support for architects, surveyors and specifiers from design through to installation.
The core system: PICSPAVE
PICSPAVE is PICS's premium pattern imprinted concrete system, also described as stamped or textured concrete. It is engineered to reproduce the look and character of:
- Natural stone paving
- Slate
- Cobble setts
- Decorative tile
- Traditional brick
- Natural wood plank finishes
The system offers over 100 pattern designs, integral colour options, and custom colour hardener combinations. That range is what allows a single base material to produce very different finished appearances depending on the pattern and colour route chosen.
Supporting products in the range
PICS supplies decorative concrete installers, main contractors and homeowners with the materials that sit around the imprinted surface itself:
| Product category | Role in the system |
|---|---|
| Colour hardeners | Surface colour for the imprinted concrete |
| Release agents | Prevent stamps sticking and add secondary colour tone |
| Concrete sealers | Protective finish over the cured surface |
| Surface preparation materials | Preparing the substrate before work |
| Tarmac restoration solutions | Repair and restoration of tarmac surfaces |
Alongside pattern imprinted concrete systems, the range includes decorative overlays and specialist concrete coatings, manufactured at PICS's own production facility or sourced from specialist suppliers.
Beyond driveways: overlays, coatings and restoration
PICS's expertise covers the wider decorative concrete field, including:
- Decorative overlays
- Epoxy floor coatings
- Concrete staining
- Protective sealers
- High-performance coatings
- Textured finishes and stenciled concrete
- Concrete restoration projects
This matters if your project is not a straightforward imprinted driveway — for example, an internal floor, a restoration job, or a specification that needs a coating rather than a stamped finish.
Quality and traceability
Every batch of product PICS manufactures undergoes quality control testing, with samples retained for traceability. If you are specifying for a client or working on a project where consistency between batches matters, that retention process is worth asking about when you order.
Who each part of the range is for
- Homeowners — the site directs homeowners looking for a driveway quote to a quote request route rather than direct product purchase.
- Trade installers and main contractors — supplied with the full system: hardeners, release agents, sealers, preparation materials and restoration products.
- Architects, surveyors and specifiers — technical services from design stage through to installation, covering textured finishes, stenciled concrete, epoxy floor coatings and restoration.
If your question is which pattern or colour combination suits a specific project, the practical next step is to request the pattern and colour information directly, since the finish depends on combining a pattern design with an integral colour and hardener choice rather than picking either in isolation.
