Concrete Patios
Back yards, especially concrete patios, are being transformed into luxurious extensions of the house. They're the new favorite place to relax, entertain, and cook.
The Hearth, Patio, and Barbecue Association, which recently held its annual tradeshow and exposition, says the growth of the outdoor living phenomena is the result of North America's interest in 'cocooning,' the trend toward a more casual lifestyle, an aging population and the popularity of porches, decks, and concrete patios in homes.
Concrete patios, sometimes referred to as cement patios, provide the perfect sanctuary for outdoor living spaces because they are often connected to the house and blend the interior with the exterior living areas. For example, homeowners can match the stone facade of their house by installing decorative concrete to create a stone patio without the expense of installing traditional individual stones. This is called concrete overlay.
There are many uses for concrete overlay – patios, decks, pool decks, sidewalks, driveways, interior concrete floors and garage floors. It can be applied in unlimited patterns and textures – be as creative as you want to be! Concrete overlays increase the value of your home at a reasonable cost. It provides increased strength, beautifies ugly concrete, fixes and maintains old concrete without removing the existing material and restores pitted or stained concrete.
