Concrete Engraving Is Your Customers’ Best Choice
1. The pattern is cut into your customer’s ordinary, existing, hard concrete. And the best part is, customers understand it is better for the design to be “IN” not “ON” the concrete. 2. By remodeling your customers’ existing concrete with easy to install concrete engraving, you will save them time, mess and money. 3. The pattern will last the life of the concrete. Many engraved concrete patterns look even better as they age. 4. Engrave-A-Crete is not a topping or overlay that can delaminate. 5. The concrete engraving process disguises cracks, repairs and imperfections as it beautifies the surface. 6. Concrete engraving is fast, clean and surroundings are undisturbed. There is NO intrusive demolition nor is the concrete replaced. Your customers want you in and out ASAP. 7. A wide variety of designs, patterns and logos are available along with a huge color selection. 8. No mandatory maintenance is needed. • Ordinary dirt and grime wash away with a garden hose. • Resists tire marks. • Oil drippings wipe right off the surface. • Weeds cannot grow between these “grout” lines. • Engraved brick, tile, stone or paver patterns can never come loose. • Enhanced resistance to salt and moisture penetration. 9. Engrave-A-Crete process is a property investment that adds distinctive value, beauty and curb appeal to any home or business.

Meet Steve! He’s the expert here at Engrave-A-Crete when it comes to designing and producing those fantastic templates. He’s taken some of the claims we make about our line of templates and weighed in with his thoughts—which are pretty awesome since he is the Template Master.

Since we manufacture our templates and stencils when you order them, you get to tell us what you want rather than having to choose from what we have on hand.” Available in any design Steve says: “We have several design examples in our catalog, and hundreds more on our website. We can also create your template or stencil from a picture, line drawing, logo or even just a sketch that you provide.

And we won’t stop until it’s just the way you want it!” Custom templates are affordable Steve says: “Don’t let the words ‘custom design’ discourage you because it sounds expensive. The price depends on the size, the complexity of the design, and the amount of time it requires. We will give you an accurate price quote before you place your order.” Templates are versatile Steve says: “Our templates work equally well with the KaleidoCrete System, the Sandroid Blasting System, and Blastin’ Betty.” Templates are reusable Steve says: “Our templates are made of dense plastic. They are waterproof, UV stable and impact resistant. Once you finish a job, just wash off the template and it’s ready to be used over and over.”

Concrete Resurrection™ Materials Reactive Acid Chemical Stains (RAC)
RAC Stain is a single component solution of acidic metallic ion particles which, when applied to concrete, chemically reacts with the particles in the cement (free alkali) to form oxides in the pores of the concrete. These oxides become a permanent part of the substrate to create a colored, translucent, variegated and sometimes marbleized effect. The art of RAC Stain is that no two slabs will ever color exactly the same. The texture of concrete, age and dilution ratio affect final color appearance. The translucence of RAC Stain allows the many unique characteristics of the slab to show through. Every project is a unique piece of art.
RAC Stain 16oz. Sampler Kit You get a 12-Pack (one of each color) of 16 ounce bottles. Perfect for deciding the right color for your next job.
Model #: CR-600-12PK- $99.95 Convenient 16 oz. size for small jobs, touch up and color testing. Covers 13-63 sq. ft. 16oz. Bottle $9.95

CR-645 RAC Stain Color Extender
CR-585 Surface Neutralizer
A multipurpose high strength industrial cleaner and degreaser. Used during the initial cleaning process to remove grease and suspend particles to ensure a clean surface. For interior and exterior use.
Paint and Sealer Remover is the most effective non-hazardous coatings remover on the market. CR-590 Paint and Sealer Remover is specifically designed to attack the chemical bond of the coating with the concrete. This process effectively “lifts” the coating off the surface rather than emulsifying it. Removes paint, sealers, glues and adhesives. For interior and exterior use.
A concentrated phosphoric acid-based etching solution with specialty additives to safely prepare concrete surfaces before applying stains and sealers. Surface Prep & Etch gently removes topical laitance and creates a porous surface to increase the penetration of concrete stains and sealers. It produces minimal fumes, is biodegradable and safer for use near grass and plants.
When diluting RAC Stains to achieve a lighter shade of color, it is imperative to maintain the proper pH balance of the entire mix of material. With Concrete Resurrection’s blend of proprietary enhancers, your RAC Stains will maintain the vivid tones even when diluting for lighter shades. RAC Stain Color Extender allows you to achieve the desired color without having the color wash out when removing the residue.
A concentrated and highly effective non-suds pH balancing solution to be used following the application of CR-765 Surface Prep & Etch and after the application of RAC Stain. CR-585 Surface Neutralizer is a blend of ammonium hydroxide (a high powered pH increaser) and proprietary neutralizing agents. It effectively increases the pH level of the concrete surface to ensure stain and sealer performance

Frequently Asked Questions What is the Engrave-A-Crete® System?
The Engrave-A-Crete® System consists of several combined processes that remodel concrete to produce a pleasing appearance. Briefly, a deep penetrating acrylic or chemical/acid stain is used to transform the color, then a permanent, precise, pattern is engraved (cut) INTO the hard concrete. The Engrave-A-Crete® Process is NOT a topping or overlayment that could chip off.
Where can Engrave-A-Crete® be used?
Driveways, floors, parking lots, entries, walkways, basements, pool decks, patios, restaurant and retail floors--any residential, commercial or municipal concrete. Many homes, office buildings, restaurants, stores, fast food establishments, and convenience stores have Engrave-A-Crete® inside and out.
How long does it take to do a job?
A job may take from one to several days depending on the size of the job, the weather, operator skill and pattern. Here are some averages to give you an idea of the time required for engraving. · 16 man hours to engrave 1900 sq. ft. driveway in a linear 8” x 8” tile pattern · Two days to engrave a 1000 sq ft. brick pattern driveway · 1.5 to 2.5 minutes per square foot to engrave flagstone
Some of the designs in the pictures look difficult to do. Do I need construction skills or artistic talent?
It’s really very simple but don’t tell your customers. Customers (homeowners and businesses) think it looks difficult and artistic - that’s what you get paid for. At first glance, most think the circular patterns could be difficult to learn but actually they are the easiest and most profitable to do. Almost anybody can learn to do the most complicated looking designs.
How much do the materials and supplies cost?
It’s very important to keep those costs low, and that’s one of the great benefits of this system. Materials and supplies, which includes concrete coloring stain or dye, clear seal coat, roller covers, concrete preparation supplies and other miscellaneous items all cost about $.25 to $.85 per square foot for exterior jobs, and $.40 to $1.35 per square foot for interior floors. Diamond blades cost about 2 to 8 cents per square foot depending on the aggregate hardness, operator techniques, and depth of cut.
Can the Engrave-A-Crete® process be done indoors? Yes. Interior work is the main business of many operators.
How many people does it take to do the engraving? Many times one person can do the entire process.

Frequently Asked Questions Is the process difficult to learn?
We often use the phrase “coloring book easy” to describe the Engrave-A-Crete process. Simple tile designs and flagstone patterns are good sellers and are quite simple to lay out and engrave. Even detailed designs can be easily engraved using the KaleidoCrete tools or the Sandroid combined with templates. After a bit of experience, you’ll be able to lay out complex geometric designs and engrave them with ease, and from there the sky’s the limit. You’ll find some training options further down in the FAQ’s.
Can I stop in the middle of a job?
A major advantage of the Engrave-A-Crete® Systems - most of the time, if you find it necessary to leave a job site during operations, it’s no problem. If it rains or gets too hot to work, just quit. It won’t damage the finished product. Simply return when you are able and start where you left off. This is very important due to things that are beyond your control such as the weather, illness, golfing, or major sporting events! Some phases, like the application of stain or sealer should be finished, but generally it’s no big deal to simply stop work.
How does weather affect the installation process?
Although it may not be practical, concrete can be engraved on the coldest or the hottest days. The concrete surface temperature needs to be between 50 and 90 degrees for the application of stains and sealers.
Is there a warranty on the engraving equipment?
Yes, Engrave-A-Crete® warranties engraver components for 1 year. Warranties cover manufacturing defects. Except for normal wear, tear, and usage, we will fix, repair or replace the equipment and /or parts as we determine. Items that we don’t manufacture but resell as a convenience (such as air compressors) are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
What is the going rate for engraved concrete? In other words, what are other people charging?
Pricing depends on your location, the pattern, the size of the job, the number of colors, and a few other factors. Generally we suggest that you charge more than products like overlayments and toppings. The perception of price and quality go hand in hand. The complete Engrave-A-Crete® process sells in a price range of $4.00 to $9.00 per square foot for an average driveway. Prices are higher ($6 to $10 per square foot) in some areas where they have good marketing and sales techniques. You should charge more for small areas like patios and sidewalks or borders.
What are the options for training?
Ideally everyone interested in decorative concrete engraving would attend our Discovery & Training Seminar. There you’ll get hands on experience using our stains, sealers and equipment. You’ll fast track through basic to advanced techniques and learn valuable tips and tricks of the trade. While you’re here, there’s no pressure to buy and no obligation to purchase. If attending a seminar isn’t a possibility for you, then self-train with the aid of the Mastering Concrete Engraving DVD and machinery manuals. Also check out our You Tube training videos at youtube.com/engraveacrete. We welcome your comments, questions and ideas. We are here to help. Just give us a call at 800-884-2114.
