Hardscaoes Inc. Calgary Concrete Floors

Concrete floors looking a little lacklustre?

Simply

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

Simply

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.

Should I repair or rebuild?

Simply

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

Concrete is also the material of choice for driveways, patios and steps. Unlike your basement floor outdoor concrete is 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.

Tearing down and rebuilding a heavy concrete step can cost thousands of dollars not to mention days of demolition, interruption and reconstruction. Hardscapes has other options and a concrete restoration may 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.
