Ever considered concrete for your kitchen floor surface?

concretekitchenfloorThink about it. It’s the one place that you are constantly cleaning and wiping. You are always dropping sharp objects, leaving nicks and gouges and chipping in whatever flooring you have in place. It’s just constant maintenance.

Now concrete on the other hand, can be made to look like any surface you want. With new advances in concrete finishes your floor can look exactly like any tile or even wood finish that ever appealed to you.

The difference is, no maintenance. Concrete is virtually indestructible. The life span of your floor is unlimited and if you tire of the look, a quick surface renewal and you’ll have a brand new look without the inconvenience of demolition of the old floor and installation of the new.

Your options are limitless! For information about our concrete floors designs for your kitchen give us a call at 403-547-5597.

Should I repair or rebuild?

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.

For more information or to arrange your no-obligation appointment call 403-547-5597. We’re here to help and look forward to putting our expertise to work for you!

Cracked concrete problem?

Don’t despair! Hardscapes can help.

Frost can damage concrete in many ways. Two of the most prominent are, having the frozen ground heave because of ice crystals forming in the soil, and collapsing due to these ice crystals thawing in the spring.

When the weather becomes cold in the winter frost penetrates the ground and freezes water trapped in the pores of the earth. Water flows from wet to dry so water from below the frost line is drawn up. As it reaches the frost line it freezes. This eventually creates a thick layer of ice. The expansion caused by the freezing ice creates a layer that heaves the ground an equal distance of that layer. Finally the pressure below the concrete can no longer sustain its integrity and cracks.

Filling these cracks can leave ugly jagged lines in your concrete drives and walkways. Professionals like Hardscapes Inc. have many methods of repairing just this kind of winter damage and bring your concrete outdoor surfaces back to their original beauty.
