DECORATIVE CONCRETE
Nothing beats a DECORATIVE CONCRETE floor for durability and good looks. DECORATIVE CONCRETE is versatile, strong, stain-resistant and low-maintenance -- perfect for residential and commercial applications.
DECORATIVE CONCRETE is the use of concrete as not just a utilitarian medium for construction but as an aesthetic enhancement to a structure, while still serving its function as an integral part of the building itself such as floors, walls, driveways and patios.
The transformation of concrete into DECORATIVE CONCRETE is achieved through the use of a variety of materials that may be applied during the pouring process or after the concrete is cured, these materials and/or systems include but are not limited to stamped concrete, acid staining, decorative overlays, polished concrete, epoxy coating, concrete countertops, and verticle overlays.
DECORATIVE CONCRETE has expanded it decorative features outside the home and office. DECORATIVE CONCRETE competes easily with the other forms of flooring and and outdoor landscaping.
Acid stainting is not a dying or pigment-base coloring systems, but a chemical reaction. The acid stainingchemical has a reaction with the existing minerals (primarily lime) in the concrete over a period of one to four hours to create new earth tone colors on the concrete surface. Another variety of DECORATIVE CONCRETE.
DECORATIVE CONCRETE is more and more seen as an alternative to traditional flooring inside office and home. DECORATIVE CONCRETE is the pathway to the future and more and more art will be applied to using DECORATIVE CONCRETE.
Epoxy Coatingis applied over acid stained, dyes and/or overlays to seal and protect. Some epoxies are also colored.
Stamped Concrete – This process transforms concrete by creating patterns that imitate stone, brick or tile.
Stamped Concrete is the process of adding texture and color to concrete to make it resemble stone, brick, slate, cobblestone and many other products found in nature including wood, fossils, shells and many more. This limitless array of possibilities combined with great durability and lower cost than natural products makes stamped concrete an easy choice for new construction and renovation projects. There are many varieties of DECORATIVE CONCRETE.
Acid staining – Beautiful variegated colors are created through this process, which takes advantage of the reaction between applied chemicals and natural minerals in the concrete.
Acid staining is not a dying or pigment-base coloring systems, but a chemical reaction. The acid stainingchemical has a reaction with the existing minerals (primarily lime) in the concrete over a period of one to four hours to create new earth tone colors on the concrete surface.
