Residential Concrete

Benefits

These are some of the reasons why concrete is moving concrete back to the forefront of construction materials:

• Versatile
• Cost-effective
• Friendly for the Environment
• Extremely Strong and Durable

Concrete is becoming the designers' dream material

Concrete is used in so many areas of residential construction. Everything from your foundation to your sidewalk and your patio or pool right down to your birdbath. There are endless types of concrete you can choose from and from there, different finishes such as:

• Stained
• Sealed
• Tinted
• Custom Design Work

Versatility

Concrete is extremely versatile and that’s why it is used in so many ways for your home. It is durable and strong and ideally should last for many years. It can be repaired and replaced without needing to disturb the rest of the concrete around it.

Concrete, when mixed and poured by professionals, will often last the lifetime of your home

Concrete can be dyed, stamped, etched, or finished to look like anything you want. This makes it an extremely popular choice for all kinds of projects around the home. It can be made to look like many other more expensive materials. Homeowners use concrete in place of granite, stones, marble, brick, and even wood. It doesn’t rot or get moldy and can withstand all kinds of extreme temperatures and weather conditions.

Strength

Concrete also gets stronger the longer it is there. It eliminates the need to do repairs or replacement work to it as it is nearly indestructible under normal circumstances.

Affordable

It is also far less expensive than many other materials. Many materials used in home construction are pricy and don’t last anywhere near as long. Concrete is very low maintenance compared to many others.

Eco-friendly

Concrete is also considered sustainable as it is made from locally sourced materials. Unlike many others that require cutting trees or shipping certain materials long distances. Concrete also doesn’t release any odors, gas, or any toxins. It can’t burn or help to spread fires. It can’t get damaged from heat or cold, or rot and it is solid and sound-proof.

Pest Proof

When concrete is used for floors and walls, you can be reassured there will be no termites or ants, and it doesn’t attract rodents. Small animals can burrow into wood, but not concrete.

Long-lasting

One of the biggest benefits of concrete besides its durability is the low maintenance. Wood needs to be painted and treated, and certain types of stone need to be taken care of regularly.

Customizable

Concrete can be painted, stained, or have any type of design you want. This is often used for floors, driveways, walls, and sidewalks. Homeowners can get creative with their driveways or patios.

Thermal Insulation

Another great benefit of using concrete is that it helps to lower your energy bills. The concrete helps keep the home cool or warm much better than many other materials.

It slows the heating or cooling process so that it reacts much slower than other construction materials. It also helps to cut back on drafts and leaks, which cause your energy bill to be higher than it needs to be.
