"You can make it look any way you want. You can have everything from earth tones or to pink or blue. You can have etching. Concrete has become a real custom item, as people are looking for more value from the dollar they are spending. It's like picking cabinets for your house."
Here are some of the options available to you from TLI Group:
Pattern Stamp
Stamped concrete can be designed and colured to resemble almost any surface including granite, slate, marble and even wood. Driveways, patios and sidewalks are excellent applications for stamped concrete, creating striking appearances with a more durable surface than regular concrete. In addition, stamped concrete is less expensive to maintain than natural stone, requiring to be re-sealed only every 3-4 years. Stamped concrete is also a beautiful choice for interior floors and entries.
Exposed Aggregate
An exposed aggregate surface is obtained by placing concrete and then removing the outer 'skin' of cement paste to reveal the decorative coarse aggregate. Because of its durability and skid resistance, an exposed aggregate finish is ideal for all applications of concrete flatwork. As well, colour can be incorporated into the concrete mix or the exposed aggregate concrete can be highlighted with stamped concrete borders or inserts to create a beautiful concrete feature area.
Acid Stain
Acid Stain is a deep, penetrating chemical stain which can be used to give old or new concrete a rich, variegated finish that will not chip, peel or fade. With a wide selection of earth-based colours and translucent hues, acid stain can transform any masonry surface, horizontal or vertical, into a beautiful work of art that radiates luxury, warmth and elegance.
Broom Finish
Broom Finish is the standard finish throughout the concrete industry. Depending on traction requirements, the finish can be a light or coarse broom and colour can also be incorporated into the concrete mix to enhance the aesthetic appeal. Broom finish provides a cost-effective, non-slip surface for all concrete flatwork applications.
Overlays
Polymer-based concrete overlays provide an economical option to re-surface existing concrete flatwork. Without the time and expense involved in removing existing concrete an overlay allows for a wide variety of finishes to upgrade its appearance. Whether stamped or stained, an overlay can create a striking feature area customized to personal taste.
