Concrete is a great product, not only for its ability to mold to any shape you need and provide a strong, durable and usable area. Concrete is now an integral part of home design because of the range of different looks it can provide.
There are so many ways concrete can be used to enhance the look of an area. With the latest products and methods there is an almost unlimited choice in concrete colours, patterns, textures and finishes. Not only do you get all the benefits of concretes strength but you can design and create something that looks great and adds value to your home.
Concrete will often take up a large part of the outdoor area of your property. A concrete driveway, some walkways and paths, maybe a pool surround and patio.
Decorative concrete products provide you with the means to customize the look and feel of these areas however you wish. Maybe you would like a subtle look to blend with the surroundings or a bright contrasting feature piece that will draw the eye. Designing your concrete areas is like having the biggest blank canvas you will ever own. Decorative concrete products provide you with the artist palette and we can put it all together for you. We can integrate the concrete design with the existing landscape or design both landscape and concrete to create the perfect look for your property.
Let Brisbane Concrete help you create a concrete masterpiece.
The design options with concrete are amazing, there are so many variables you can change and combine to create whatever look you need. Here is a brief overview of the different elements available to you.
Exposed aggregate concrete-
This option is one of the most popular because it looks great in any setting. This type of decorative concrete gives a heavily textured non slip finish and is available in a huge range of pebble and base concrete colours. The finish exposes the natural beauty of the stones within the concrete.
