Concrete Ideas Features Professionals

At Concrete Ideas we are committed to giving our clients and potential clients the most accurate and up-to-date information and ideas about decorative concrete. We want you to have the most innovative tools at your disposal including the best products and services provided by the best companies.

To that end, we have started to feature short articles providing information on people, companies and products that deliver the best results for you. We will continue to feature this information about products and services throughout the country – and beyond – so that wherever you are, you will be able to research the availability of everything “decorative concrete” in your area, complete with photos.

We decided to do this because concrete is no longer the simple, gray, basic cement that it used to be not long ago. Today’s concrete is part of the decor – in fact; it is often the foundation or the centerpiece of the décor. Today’s concrete includes specialized textures, colors, washes and more. Instead of digging up old concrete and re-pouring it especially if it has cracks, stains or severe discolorations, special finishes can be put right on top of the old concrete making it look completely new and different. Many of the finishes and “toppings” are razor thin, but all are durable and cost much less than pouring new concrete.

Our articles featuring decorative concrete specialists will not only provide names and locations of these businesses, but will also discuss their specialty and how it can work for you. Take the time to look through our site and find the right specialists for you. Feel free to contact us with information about any new or exciting products, services or companies that we can add to our membership.

We appreciate you exploring Concrete Ideas website and hope you find it creative and helpful. We are excited to be able to provide this information to you, and we know that you will be, too!

Colormaker is a company that has made its mark in the decorative concrete industry. The company is one of our suppliers here at Concrete Ideas, and we are proud to be associated with them.

Colormaker uses a wide variety of concrete primers, toppings, sealers, finishes, and, of course, as their name denotes, an array of colors. They have worked on many unique and artistic projects creating flooring that works as a foundation, a focal point or an enhancement to either new or existing floors.

There are many ways that they use their products and techniques to make floors a work of art. There are many ways that concrete is used as flooring, and many ways that existing – even older, faded or stained – concrete can be made to look totally new and different by using the techniques that Colormaker is expert at.

For instance, colors and finishes can be used on plain, old, gray concrete to transform a floor – and the room it is the foundation of – into a unique, new, creative and artistic base for a room, be it a basement in a home, a lobby in a hotel or a boutique.

Colormaker is constantly searching and testing new ways to treat and create concrete. One of the company’s feature products is called Pentimento, which is a topping based on Italian methods, but using the most modern ingredients which creates the look of polished marble.

In addition to the products and techniques that Colormaker uses, the company also offers workshops to help people explore the possibilities for working with concrete. If you live in the British Columbia area and are looking for great ideas and great work involving concrete, contact Colormaker. Their ideas will open up innovative ideas to build into whatever area you are trying to transform. Contact Colormaker or call them at 604-244-3122.
