Interior concrete

There has been a new trend in recent years regarding home interiors, with a turn away from traditional interiors to a more minimalist and neoclassical look. Interior concrete fulfils this new trend as, when done correctly, it provides an industrial feel that is both durable and refined in style. Its tonal colours, ranging from thunder grey to sandy brown, are a great foundation to any home, allowing prospective buyers to build upon and accentuate it in their own way.

What's more, interior concrete is easy to clean and strong, meaning that it is a super easy foundation to work within both a commercial and home-based environment. Interior concrete is sure to stand the test of time, so impress prospective buyers with this new and innovative look.

Resurfacing

A study found that a new patio could recover approximately 85% of the cost of an installation. However, you can save a lot more money whilst adding to your property’s value through resurfacing your current driveway or patio.

Having your driveway resurfaced is a much more cost-effective option compared to complete refurbishment. Concrete resurfacing uses a cement-based overlay mixed with bonding agents which is poured over your current patio or driveway to create a smooth surface.

This will add a new lease of life to your property’s exterior, and invite in prospective buyers who will feel like they don't need to go through the trouble themselves. It is less time consuming and money-saving.

Tilt-up aesthetic for businesses

Tilt-up concrete is a popular choice for commercial and industrial businesses as it presents a strong and robust foundation. It involves pre-fabricating large concrete panels and fastening them upright to a slab.

These panels are then used to create walls, columns, and other structural supports. As mentioned, concrete is an extremely easy material to work with given its ability to last a lifetime, and it can also easily be changed and adapted to prospective buyers as it is sometimes possible to change the looks of concrete through polishing and treatments.

Countertops

For a home environment, it is crucial to have an adequate kitchen area to attract the whole family and serve as a communal space. Concrete countertops are fashion-forward and offer durability and trendiness. They are also more resistant to the general wear and tear that is a byproduct of food preparation and kitchen apparatus, yet can still be manipulated to create a stylish look.
