Now concrete can be used in many applications such as patios, pool decks, basement floors and countertops.

Concrete floors looking a little lacklustre?

Original floors that have become worn and faded from years of wear and tear and are in need of an update can be revitalized in a very short period of time. A new concrete floor restoration will only take a few weeks to bring to life. 

Prep work begins with clearing the original floor and levelling low spots in the existing area, as in the images below, and will ultimately resurrect these old and dated floors to a brand new beautiful finish.

Looking to restore your concrete floors?

Contact Hardscapes Inc. at 403-547-5597 today. We look forward to working with you.

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 Inc. 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.

Is your floor looking a little lackluster?

Years of wear and tear from constant traffic can suck the life out of your store or office floors. If yours are looking a little tired and dull, we can bring these hard-working floors back to life!

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 you. Here are a few things to consider when contemplating a concrete overlay.

1. What conditions will the floor be exposed to?

Certain polished surfaces might not be appropriate for wet conditions. High traffic areas might need to be a darker colour to give the floor a longer life and to keep maintenance to a minimum.

2. What is the installation cost?

Costs average between $3 to $10 per sq ft depending on installation. More elaborate finishes can be more. For more information or a FREE quote contact us at your convenience.

3. How much maintenance is required?

This type of surface is stain resistant to dirt and grease when coated with a sealer. Only the usual cleaning and maintenance of any floor is required.

 Call 403-547-5597 today to discuss how we can bring your lackluster floors back to life!
