Baltimore Architects and Contractors Prefer Concrete Coatings

East Coasters just have way of putting things into perspective. “It just makes sense to use a concrete coating instead of replacing damaged commercial concrete,” said a local general contractor. This is something specialty concrete companies have known for years, though. Long gone are the days of full concrete replacement when it comes to parking lots, driveways, pool decks, entryways, etc. Now, there is a more affordable option: resurfacing with decorative concrete. With concrete coating systems, a concrete expert will repair the cracks and damage, then resurface the area with a cement-based topcoat that is even more durable than concrete.

There’s nothing more wasteful or time-consuming than concrete replacement. So if you are in need of commercial concrete repairs, look into resurfacing instead. Find out more, read about this Baltimore concrete coating company.

Self-Leveling Concrete: A Solution for Chipped Tile

Plenty of restaurant and business owners use tile as the flooring at their establishment. Tile is affordable and it looks great, but what happens when that tile gets chipped or damaged? It can cause a lot of headaches and cost a lot of money. Instead of ripping out all the tile and replacing it, leave it in place, and use a self-leveling concrete to cover the exiting floor. Use a high-quality, dependable self-leveling concrete, such as Duraamen’s Param 5500 to create an even surface. Then you can add a decorative concrete element, such as acid staining or dying.

Next time you come across chipped tile, don’t panic – consider using a self-leveling concrete system. It’s affordable and looks just as great (if not better) than a tiled floor. Check out other decorative concrete products by Duraamen.
