WOC - Wold of Concrete 2009

World of Concrete 2009 - WOC 2009

Decorative Concrete is the Alternative to Mold

Even if we are not aware of it, mold spores can reside anywhere that there is moisture, and can be breathed into the lungs compromising lung capacity, the immune system and creating health problems. As a result, it is essential when building out your basement, to find products and processes that either eliminate or substantially reduce mold growth.

Decorative Concrete – Artistic, Available, Affordable

Not so long ago, if you had a garage or driveway that was weathered, worn and/or stained, or if you had a fireplace that you wanted enhanced by a rock wall, or you had walk ways or outdoor areas you wanted to beautify, your choices were limited to bricks, blocks, rock, cement and a few other items.  Not that there is anything wrong with those items.

Concrete Countertops Built Right In

There is an idea whose time has come when it comes to creating and installing countertops in homes.  For decades, countertops have been built in a factory or someplace offsite and brought to the home, hopefully fitting perfectly into the space that has been made ready for them.  Sometimes this works well, sometimes it does not.

Old Concrete Can be New Again

How many times have you looked at the concrete around your pool or on your patio or your front walk and wished it looked better and newer?  You have tried stain removers and crack fillers, but they usually don’t make the old concrete look new.  They simply fill in some of the cracks – and look like spackle on a wall.  Or the stain removers remove part of the stains and leave behind the telltale spots.

Beat The Boring Basement Blues

There are so many houses with great basements that are being or could be used for extra space. Often basements can double the usable space in a home. What do you do with those floors that look exactly like an old basement floor – even if it’s new.

You don’t have to wonder any more. There are some exciting treatments available for interior floors, especially in your basement. They can turn dingy, plain concrete to beautiful works of art.

No More Monster Garage

You know the drill. You move into a house finally get everything put away and get rid of the boxes. You have a 3 car extra long and wide garage and you would like to use the rest for a comfortable office/pool room/darts den and more. You have the idea in mind; you have started figuring out what will go where. You’ve picked out a color for the walls so it won’t look so “garagy” but will have a bit more coziness in the area.

Resurface and save money!

If your concrete is not looking as fabulous as it once did, if years of wear and tear and taking away the beauty that once was, why not resurface the concrete. Resurfacing is great way to take the old concrete and make it look new, at a fraction of the cost of a completely new slab.
