In short

Stencil concrete lays a paper pattern over fresh concrete before colour hardener is worked in, leaving crisp unpigmented grout lines that read as laid pavers, brick or tile. Sunshine Coast Concrete Services offers 23 stencil patterns in any chart colour across the Sunshine Coast, QLD, with no joints to shift, settle or grow weeds.

06 — Overview

What makes stencil concrete different

Stencil work lays a paper pattern over the surface before colour is applied, leaving crisp grout lines that read as laid pavers, brick or tile — without the joints, weeds and movement that come with real pavers.

It also helps cover previous repairs, or create a seamless finish between two concrete slabs or footpaths, which makes it a favourite on extensions and driveway widening.

What a stencil concrete job includes

Pattern & grout lines

Paver, brick, tile and flagstone patterns with clean, consistent grout lines.

Colour hardener

Colour worked into the surface rather than sitting on top of it.

Borders & feature panels

Contrast borders and inset panels to frame the area or mark an entry.

Sealed finish

Sealed so the pattern and colour hold up to sun, tyres and hosing down.

Questions

Stencil concrete questions, answered

How many stencil patterns are there?

We lay 23 stencil patterns — including Ashlar Slate, Random Bluestone, Cobblestone and Flanders Weave — in any colour from the chart. We bring samples to the quote.

Can stencil go over existing concrete?

Yes. Over a sound existing slab, a stencil pattern is applied as part of concrete resurfacing instead of a new pour.

How long does stencil concrete last?

The slab lasts as long as plain concrete. The coloured surface is protected by sealer, which needs renewing every two to five years. See the sealing guide.
