Hardscapes has solutions for all applications

This cracked up basement floor was beautifully restored by Hardscapes Inc.

After grinding and patching, our client’s floor received an overlay of Elite Crete’s thin Finish. Once dry, it was stained for a gorgeous titanium mottling. Top coated with Elite Crete E100 PT1 epoxy and a satin polyurethane, this floor will stand up to the daily abuse of kids, toys, pets for years to come.

From straight line to circular patterns, we specialize in decorative engraving & staining and offer options to create a unique design to freshen up your flooring.

A concrete overlay can make all the difference to tired old floors

Is your office looking a little run down and tired? Does the floor of your store show the wear and tear of years of traffic?

You can bring these tired old floors back to life and give your office, retail shop, plant or warehouse a fresh new look.

A concrete overlay can make all the difference. This type of overlay can add years to the life of your floor and create a specific ambiance designed especially for your environment.

Here are some things to consider when contemplating a concrete overlay:

  • The conditions, wear and tear your floors be exposed to
  • Certain polished surfaces might not be appropriate for wet conditions
  • High traffic areas may require a darker colour to give the floor a longer life and keep maintenance to a minimum

How much maintenance is required?

This type of surface when coated with a sealer, is stain-resistant to dirt and grease. All that’s required is routine cleaning and maintenance.

What is the installation cost?

Costs average between $3 to $10 a square foot depending on installation specifics. Please note that more elaborate finishes can cost more.

Quartz broadcast flooring is ideal for retail & commercial environments, plants & warehouses

Hardscapes completed a quartz broadcast flooring project for an oil field service company. We installed this floor through the shop lunchroom, hallways and bathrooms. With the quartz broadcast finish, you’ll get more of a monochromatic look.

Quartz broadcast flooring is an incredibly durable, seamless, non-skid floor resistant to stains from oils and chemicals, easy to clean and antibacterial which made it a fantastic solution for this heavy use industrial application. Check out our images below. 

Quartz broadcast flooring is ideal for retail and commercial environments, plants and warehouses, schools and healthcare facilities, as well as residential applications.

Create perfect concrete structure every time

Even though concrete is a substance that can be easily mixed, you can really run into problems if it is not worked properly. These issues include scaling, discoloring and shrinkage to name a few.

Discoloration or discoloring is one of the most common.

If you are using the same materials, mix and batch, your concrete should have a consistent color. Changes in concrete color can occur just by using two different cements or if a chemical from a job site gets added to the mix. Even different water sources can change the color of the concrete.

Solving discoloration problems:

  1. Discuss your tolerances with the supplier
  2. Water must be completely evaporated before concrete can be finished
  3. Make sure the entire surface is uniformly cured
  4. Use a consistent form release agent

The experts at Hardscapes create perfect concrete structure every time. If you have a concrete project you’d like to get under way, give us a call at 403-547-5597.

Wine Store Floor Restoration

Another gorgeous reflector floor created using the Elite Crete colouring system. This particular project involved reviving an old wine store floor.

Our concrete flooring systems are poured in place and completely self-levelling. They must be properly prepared before an epoxy coating is applied to achieve the best results. After Hardscapes gave this old floor a diamond grind, some patching, and an Elite Crete pt1 epoxy application the old well-worn floor found new life again. 

These floors are abrasion-resistant, moisture-resistant, slip-resistant, and chemical-resistant. Truly unique seamless flooring solutions make a statement with colours that can be blended to complement any environment. Even better, they’re very easy to clean and affordable — in fact, the cost-effectiveness just cannot be beat!

Still happy with custom floors after 13 years

Established 1973 in Calgary, Alberta, Rilpa Enterprises offers helicopter maintenance, support and equipment leasing services.

Back in 2006 we created a unique and original lobby floor by incorporating the Rilpa logo. After 13 years they needed a couple of minor touch-ups under some rolling office chairs, but they are still very happy with their stained concrete floors.

Hardscapes is a one-stop concrete flooring shop for anything from simple solid colour choices to beautiful, but more complex multi-coloured stained and metallic reflector floors.
