Decorative concrete continues to become used more and more when it comes to building and remodeling homes and offices and other structures – inside and out. Creating unique and beautiful floors, walls and other artistic building parts has become easier, more affordable and more stunning than ever with various types of decorative concrete.

One company that specializes in lightweight decorative concrete applications is Tommy Rock, which is based in Addison, Illinois.  Tommy Rock specializes in its own unique formulas of concrete that can be shaped, molded, carved and texturized in many ways.

For instance, one of the projects that can be made is taking a plain fireplace and using some of the decorative concrete techniques that Tommy Rock is expert at and creating a façade with the look and feel of a fireplace created by old world craftsmen.

If you want to do the work yourself, Tommy Rock will teach you.  They offer training classes to help you with everything from working with floors, to walls, to the fireplaces we have been discussing.  The classes will show you techniques that will help you do the best job, as well as helping your figure out which tools are best for whatever you plan to build, remodel or otherwise create.
