Choosing Integral Color Concrete For Durability

By Patty Goff


As everything changes, so too do trends in decor. Newer, fresher ideas make life more interesting and exciting, so these are welcome changes. For instance, flooring manufacturers and designers are giving consumers more options. Below, discover what integral color concrete can do in design, and how they can increase property value instantaneously.

Trends are great, but they do come and go. On the other hand, there is classic and timeless design. For this to occur, it has to offer not only beauty, but also of durability. This is especially true in ground covering and flooring surfaces. Consider how concrete was always applied for durability, but never for its beauty, until now.

Before, it was just bland, far from attractive, and quite bitterly cold. Then one day, through the changes in technology, paints, and so on they made it beautiful when they added color. It could be any one of the many that the consumer decides to use, and then it is protected with a sealer to provide longevity.

Since this innovative design was first used, it has moved the entire industry, and people from all walks of life are embracing it. It has been seen as a new and bold counter top, either for counters or islands in kitchens, but also in bathrooms in homes and buildings. It's beauty is all about the custom look one gets when the application is completed.

In a custom application, there are no two surfaces the same. All are unique. All have variations in their designs, colors, and overall appearances. Perhaps it is this that makes it so sought after by homeowners, and buyers alike. What's more is that one can finish it in a high gloss or matte finish, according to his or her tastes.

With integral color, the idea is to incorporate the shade into the concrete while it is mixed. In doing so, it creates a thorough shade right through, whether it's precast or cast in place. All the while, it will not affect the integrity, or the durability and longevity of the cement. In the end, the customer gets a consistent shade throughout the space, regardless of the size or thickness.

Another benefit is that it's quite simple to maintain. While it may seem cold as a surface, accessories can warm it up easily. Just add an area rug over distinct areas in a room. As for counters, they look stunning on their own, or with lovely accessories typically used in kitchens or bathrooms.

In a residential home, both interior and exterior, this concept works wonderfully. For instance, imagine a beautiful in ground pool completely surrounded by a concrete pool deck with a lovely color that will never fade. Instead, it will always look good for years to come. Take it a step further with an application that mimics natural stone, as well as many other types of flooring options, but without those problems attached to them. Look for something easy to keep up, that always looks great, and that is a cost-effective solution, like this.
