Pavicret’s stamped concrete: the outdoor finish that’s winning over McDonald’s restaurants
A restaurant’s entrances and patios are the first point of contact with the brand. That’s why McDonald’s has chosen Pavicret printed paving to renovate the outdoor areas of its locations in Spain: sidewalks, McAuto lanes, landscaped areas, and playgrounds. A seamless, durable, and decorative flooring solution capable of withstanding thousands of footsteps and vehicle tires every day without compromising the corporate aesthetic.

What is Pavicret stamped concrete?
Stamped concrete—also known as imprinted concrete—is a fresh concrete slab that is textured and colored on-site using Pavicret’s proprietary molds and hardeners. The result is a continuous, slip-resistant surface with a rich color palette that mimics stone, cobblestone, or other decorative patterns.
Why It Stands Out From Other Outdoor Flooring Options
- High mechanical strength to withstand heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
- Waterproof and easy to clean: resistant to the fats and oils commonly found in the food service industry.
- Speed of installation: a single application with no complex joints.
- Creative freedom in colors and textures to reflect the brand’s identity.
- Minimal maintenance throughout its entire service life.
Flooring That Lives Up to the McDonald’s Experience
Corporate design without compromising durability
The restaurants feature shades of ochre and anthracite gray, combined with cobblestone-patterned markings that guide customers from the parking lot to the McAuto drive-thru window. The color is integrated into the pavement itself, so it does not fade over time or due to UV exposure.
Safety for Customers and Employees
Pavicret stamped concrete features a non-slip texture and controlled micro-reliefs that facilitate the drainage of rainwater, preventing puddles and reducing the risk of slipping, even in children’s play areas and on patios.
Maintenance Optimization
Thanks to its seamless, sealed surface, grease and beverage spills can be removed with pressurized water and a mild detergent, without the need for harsh chemicals or costly treatments. McDonald’s Facility Management department estimates a 30% savings on cleaning costs compared to prefabricated tiles.
Installation Process: Logistics “Without Shutting Down the Kitchen”
- Nighttime Planning: Pavicret teams work during off-peak hours to minimize the impact on sales.
- Pouring and spreading of structural concrete, followed by the application of a pigmented mineral hardener.
- Stamped using Pavicret molds that replicate traditional cobblestones.
- Cured and sealed with proprietary resins that enhance the color and seal the pores.
- Up and running within 24–48 hours: the restaurant resumes its normal operations with minimal disruption.
