Four Reasons Why Decorative Concrete is Popular
Impressive Versatility
Stamped concrete does so much more for homeowners these days. Investing in decorative concrete improves your home’s curb appeal in numerous ways, which include the following:
- Beautiful walkways that mimic the look of stone (at a fraction of the price)
- Stunning driveways that can withstand daily traffic
- Durable yet attractive floors for fireplaces, porches, and patios
Durability
Concrete is best known for its durability. Decorative concrete installed in any home guarantees the same.
Areas that receive plenty of foot traffic, such as floors and sidewalks, are easily damaged. But if you use stamped concrete for your indoor and outdoor areas, your floors won’t easily chip, scuff, or scratch. This flooring material can also withstand heavy weights so you need not worry about pets damaging the surface with their nails or moving heavy furniture (without leaving a mark).
Quick Drying Time
Unlike other flooring materials, you need not wait too long for stamped concrete projects. Concrete can be easily poured, dried, and designed in a short amount of time. Despite the faster timeline, the results are still cost-efficient and of good quality.
Low-Maintenance
Not everyone has the time to care for all the areas of their home, which is why anything low-maintenance is appreciated. Decorative concrete requires little maintenance. To keep it clean, all you have to do is mop the floor. For maintenance, wax the indoor floors at least once a year and seal the outdoor surface every five years.
Decorative Concrete Installation Process
When you entrust the work to our concrete contractors, they’ll immediately:
- Prepare the site and formwork
- Plan the placement of the stamped concrete
- Pour the concrete
- Apply release agents and hardeners (for color)
- Stamp the pattern or texture into the concrete
- Perform touchups and add more colors
- Cure and seal the concrete
Since it is a tedious process, we don’t recommend doing a DIY approach to concrete stamping. While the goal to save is commendable, you’ll end up doing the opposite. All concrete jobs need heavy equipment and materials, which can cost more. On top of that, there’s the risk of injuries and further damage. So, instead of worrying about these, have our contractors do the work.
Concrete is one of the strongest flooring materials on the market. Most decorative concrete floors come with overlays that consist of pigments or stains, which strengthen their surface. Even the floor coating is resistant to most wear and tear, including etching and stains from heavy equipment or chemicals.
You need not worry about replacing your floors every now and then. The only reason you’ll want to replace them is if you want a new look.
Stamped decorative concrete can last between 20 to 25 years, as long as it is properly installed and maintained. One of the reasons behind stamped concrete’s staying power is the sealant, which protects the concrete’s color and stamped design. Also, the same strategies that promote longevity and prevent cracking in traditional concrete (e.g. expansion joints and proper base installation) are used in decorative concrete, too.
Decorative concrete will look faded and chalky when it needs resealing. Restore it to its original color and luster with a fresh coat of sealant.
