Polyaspartic Coatings

admin

Concrete SolutionsIntroduced in the 1990s polyaspartic became a new class of coating.

Because polyaspartics can be formulated with slower reaction rates, they can be roller-applied or spray-applied with conventional paint sprayers without the use of solvent. Polyaspartic coatings are also UV and light stable and will not age or yellow.

This format can also be applied with broadcast medias such as quartz and vinyl paint chips.

Hardscapes Inc. often uses these polyaspartics components as well as incorporating metallic pigments to give a long lasting, incredibly durable and easy-to-clean flooring system.

Rebuild or Repair

Restored StairConcrete is a standard building material. A good portion of every home built consists of concrete of one form or another.

Concrete in outside features like driveways and steps is also the material of choice for these home features but unlike your basement floor these are exposed to the wear and tear of the elements.

Constant bombardment from our Canadian weather can lead to pitting, cracking and flaking, eventually rendering the concrete unsafe or at least unpleasant to look at.

Taking down and rebuilding a heavy concrete step for example can cost thousands of dollars not to mention days of demolition, interruption and reconstruction.

Hardscapes can show you another alternative. A concrete restoration might be just what you need. The cost is about half of a removal and re-installation and the result is considerably more pleasing to the eye.

This restoration was $1800.00 a far cry from the $3000.00 quoted for demolition and re-construction.

worn-concteteIf you have lived in your home for a number of years you might have to deal with broken concrete. Constant wear and tear from the environment, road salt and the dropping of heavy objects can cause cracking and pitting as well as permanent staining.

The concrete fixtures of your home are one of the first things guests or the public notice when they come to you pay a visit.

Resurfacing and repairing these surfaces is not something you want to attempt on your own. A professional knows the right formula and surface to apply to your specific needs.

Basement Flooded?

Elete CreteWe hope you are well on your way to rebuilding your home or business after the devastating floods in Calgary this year.

Have you ever thought of how many tons of carpet went into the landfill this year in Calgary…

Concrete flooring is a great alternative to carpet! It is far more resilient to water, does not promote bacterial growth, and is a much more eco-friendly solution should another flood happen.

Hardscapes has  all the equipment and expertise needed to remove old paint, thin-set, glue or whatever is on your floor to prepare it for a beautiful concrete finish.

This was an old concrete floor that we used an Elite Crete overlay on, then engraved and stained it.

Gorgeous!
