Innovative KaleidoCrete

Decorative Concrete Engraving Adds Solid Beauty to Driveways, Patios and even Walls, with new Innovative KaleidoCrete™ System

Engrave-A-Crete® Inc. has put the "décor" back in 'decorative concrete' for driveways, floors, patios and concrete walkways of all types. Introducing KaleidoCrete,™ a brand new method of cutting patterns into existing concrete, the newly developed and patented system signals a major design innovation in the decorative concrete industry.

Company president Darrel Adamson said, “Our concrete engraving system is superior to all other processes in the concrete industry because it is “in” the concrete, not “on” the concrete. Other companies lay designs are cut right into the existing concrete. The only other way a result like ours can be achieved is with sandblasting, however, there are many drawbacks to the sandblasting process. Our method is cleaner and far more economical.”

Engrave-A-Crete® gives contractors and consumers a variety of different machines to create artful concrete designs. The Super Compact 2500D is our most versatile and popular tool. But with the introduction of the KaleidoCrete™ System, operators can cut patterns across the floor, up the wall, across the ceiling and down the steps. Powered by in Mochton Stylus “Shark” Engraver, there is no limit to creative design patterns for concrete. Adamson added, “Our system is faster, easier, more detailed, and cuts a deeper texture and the templates are durable and reusable. It's versatile with a capital V.”

The company makes the KaleidoCrete™ System user friendly. A contractor or a homeowner sends art work, photos or even ideas, to Engrave-A-Crete,® Inc and then they scan the art, run it through CAD/CAM software and send the program out to one of the company's CNC machining centers. The CNC mill cuts it and then the template is shipped to the installer by UPS. The installer lays the template on the concrete or attaches it to the wall and cuts the pattern into the concrete. Presto! A kaleidoscope of colors and patterns can be achieved in any existing concrete. Any size template, even as small as 6 inches or as wide as 100 feet across can be produced. Engrave-A-Crete® also stocks an enormous selection of borders, hieroglyphs, logos, brick, stone and masonry patterns.

There simply isn't a better way than the Engrave-A-Crete® Systems to enhance and beautify the concrete on your property, whether residential or commercial. Contractors, property owners and potential franchisees can visit the Engrave-A-Crete Web site for information or telephone 941-355-2114.
