You will Enjoy All of the Advantages of Decorative Concrete in Your Home.

Decorative concrete, also known as architectural concrete, can be described as any technique that transforms simple, grey concrete into something more aesthetically pleasing. Many different looks and methods are possible for decorative concrete. Acid stains, acrylic stains, concrete dyes, and integral colors are examples of basic coloring techniques called integrated colors; mixed into the concrete before it is poured. Stamping, scoring, chiseling, and polishing are examples of unique treatments that can alter the texture of the surface. Decorative concrete also incorporates various techniques to customize the slab fully.

 Decorative concrete is more than just a pretty face; it also has other advantages that set it apart from other flooring options. Check out these seven reasons to love stained, stamped, and resurfaced decorative concrete for both your interior and exterior floors and surfaces.

1.  A Long-lasting and easy-to-maintain 

Decorative concrete floor, whether indoors or out, is the sturdiest floor you will have. You get an industrial-strength floor that cures to compression strength just under 5000 psi and can withstand any temperature or weather, whether it's for a kitchen or basement, an outdoor patio or pool deck. Moisture, fading, chipping, stains, and peeling are all resistant to the sealed finishes. Our concrete floors often don't trap mold, mildew, dust mites, bacteria, or allergens, making your home better for you and your pets. Decorative concrete floors are low maintenance, requiring only a dust mop and occasional wet mopping to keep them looking fresh.

2.  Faster and Safer Installation

A concrete overlay can help repair distressed and damaged concrete slabs, save time, hassle, and money over demolition and replacement, taking up to four weeks. Concrete Craft can revive an old slab and cover up imperfections with a unique micro-topping concrete overlay, making it look brand new with any custom finish you desire. You won't need to split up and cart away old concrete, nor will you need cement trucks or jackhammers, and you will appreciate the fact that resurfacing rather than repairing saves you thousands of dollars.

3.  Style possibilities are endless.

The versatility of decorative concrete is one of its most appealing features. You can have any pattern, style, or color you like because all we do is custom. Our proprietary products and processes can reproduce any natural stone, tile, brick, or wood plank, from stained concrete to stamped and stenciled designs to individually hand-carved stones. For flagstone, cobblestone, Ashlar slate, Roman Texture Slate, limestone, sandstone, and more, our attention to detail ensures an authentic-looking finish. We can replicate the look of every fabulous floor you've seen and fallen in love with, such as veined marble, at a fraction of the cost of natural marble.

4.  Some materials are half the price.

 Several factors will increase the cost of working with natural stone. One factor to consider is availability; does the stone you want have to be transported by truck? The price will be affected by the weight and distance. Rare colors are more expensive, and if you're dealing with a vast region, you might not be able to get as much as you need in the color you want. Natural stone can be prohibitively expensive in enormous areas such as pool decks and driveways. Imagine how much this driveway would cost if it were made of natural flagstone and cobblestone! You can appreciate the elegance of natural stone with an infinite number of patterns and designs for a fraction of the cost of natural stone with a decorative concrete overlay.

5.  Resistance to Damage 

Areas that receive a lot of foot traffic, such as sidewalks and flooring, wear out quickly. One of the advantages of using decorative concrete for indoor and outdoor areas is that it is resistant to scratching, scuffing, and chipping. It also resists buckling under heavy loads, allowing it to last longer than other materials.

• You can move heavy furniture with confidence.
• Pets' claws will not damage it.
• It is ideal for parking lots and driveways.

6.  Eco-Friendliness

 Decorative concrete flooring is one of the most environmentally friendly choices for home improvements. This is due to the fact that current concrete subfloors in a home can easily be used to build new flooring without removing old materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill. You don't need to add any new materials, so there's no need to purchase and install new hardwood or carpet.

7.  Health

For those with respiratory problems or allergies, decorative concrete is a better alternative to carpeting.
