Frequently asked questions
How long does decorative concrete last, and how do I maintain it?
Typically, our decorative concrete solutions can last anywhere from 25 to 30 years or more. To ensure the longevity of your decorative concrete, make sure to do the following:
Regular cleaning — Sweep and wash the surface regularly to prevent dirt accumulation.
Apply a sealer — To protect the surface against moisture, stains and wear, apply a sealer every few years. This is especially important for exterior concrete.
Avoid harsh chemicals — Use gentle cleaning products specifically designed for use on decorative concrete to avoid damaging the surface.
How much does decorative concrete cost?
The cost of decorative concrete depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the design, the types and quality of materials used and the scale of the project. Basic staining or simple stamping patterns are generally more affordable, while intricate designs and advanced textural effects may cost more.
