Stamped Concrete: Today’s Hottest Value in Functional Building Decor

Stamped Concrete.

Today, stamped concrete is quite possibly the best, most popular way to add value to your home or professional building. What more perfect way to add rich-looking, custom touches to a property while actually saving money? That’s what makes stamped concrete so hot in the world of high performance, decorative building elements.

Endless applications.

That’s also one of the key reasons stamped concrete can be found across such a wide array of project types. A truly versatile application, we frequently see stamped concrete adorning everything from driveways, edging and patios to high-end parking lots, theme parks and malls. In addition to affordability and aesthetic appeal, it also brings the benefits of incredibly low maintenance and long-lasting durability to a project. Add to all of those features one more, fantastic slip resistance, and it’s clear see why stamped concrete is often favored over other materials, particularly in outdoor environments.

Benefits = Value.

What do all of these benefits amount to? One word: VALUE. Looking for an inexpensive way to add curb appeal that attracts top-price buyers? Stamped concrete.

7 Reasons Concrete Flooring Is Best for Your Pet

                                              

Concrete, the perfect flooring for pets.                           

Are you a pet parent? If you’re like us, they’re an important part of the family. Of course, there are a few downsides, like muddy paws, occasional accidents, hidden toxicity among household items, and such. That’s why we’re so happy to find easy solutions that minimize or even eliminate those issues. Speaking of which, did you know that concrete is practically the perfect flooring choice for pets? Here’s why:

ONE

• Concrete is pet stain and odor-resistant.

Today’s concrete flooring is typically finished with a protective sealant that not only repels dust, but also odors and pet stains as well.

TWO

• Concrete is durable.

An active pet can generate a high level of traffic that can wreak havoc on more traditional flooring materials. Concrete is one of the longest wearing materials available.

THREE

• Concrete is scratch resistant.

Those claws grow back fast! It can be hard to keep up with your pet’s toenail trimming, and the damage to traditional types of flooring can be pretty brutal. A concrete floor finished with a protective sealant is practically scratchproof!

FOUR

• Concrete is easy-care & easy to clean.

Their hair - it’s everywhere! Not to mention to mention the grass and mud and everything else. Another outstanding characteristic of sealed concrete flooring is the ease of cleanup. Today’s sealants are specially formulated to repel dust, which works equally well on pet dander, etc. All you need to return your floors to clean is a simple swipe with a towel, broom or mop. Voila!

FIVE

• Concrete doesn’t trap pet dander, fleas or mites.

As we just mentioned, sealed concrete floors are designed to repel dust and dirt, That means it won’t collect or trap animal dander within its surface. This is good news for allergy sufferers, or

in the case of dealing with an outbreak of fleas or mites. You’re outta there!

SIX

• Concrete is nontoxic.

Laminates, synthetic carpets, carpet adhesives & padding, engineered wood, flooring adhesives, and certain binders in types of tile can emit VOCs, also known as volatile organic compounds. Some people have very strong reactions to VOCs. Can you imagine how much more your pet, closer to the floor and with lesser lung capacity (especially among particular breeds) is impacted by these VOCs? Good news: concrete floors can be colored with nontoxic pigment stain, which will not release harmful VOCs into the atmosphere for you or your pet to inhale.

SEVEN

• Concrete can be heated.

In a multi-level home, most pets spend the majority of their time on the ground level. As heat rises, ground level floors tend to be markedly cool, and uncomfortable to sit or lie on for any length of time. Radiant heating not only reduces your heating bill, it also keeps your pets cozy and comfortably warm. In fact, you may find yourself wanting to grab a blanket and stretch out on the floor yourself watching tv or for a little snuggle with your furry friends.
