By Patty Goff


Trends in fashion and decor are always changing. Thankfully, these changes to add two more interest in life, making things so much more exciting. There is also the new ideas that are turned into reality thanks to technology advances. For instance, consider how far concrete has come. There are however new ways and places in which it can be applied. Before making any decisions, check out the many reasons to choose integral color concrete. It can all begin with increasing property value.

Sometimes there are trends, and other times there is just timeless design. To have timeless design, something has to be durable, for starters, as with flooring surfaces and such. No one, for the longest time, ever considered the beauty that could be in concrete. Generally, it is considered flooring in industrial buildings, or ground cover in exterior landscapes.

Before, it was just bland, far from attractive, and quite bitterly cold. Then one day, through the changes in technology, paints, and so on they made it beautiful when they added color. It could be any one of the many that the consumer decides to use, and then it is protected with a sealer to provide longevity.

The whole industry has been completely moved by this innovative design and technology. It is making its way into industrial and office buildings, but also in residential homes. Colored concrete has now become an exciting surface in counter tops. Many homes and restaurants will have their counters in bathrooms and floors done in this way. What's wonderful is that it's all custom.

In a custom application, there are no two surfaces the same. All are unique. All have variations in their designs, colors, and overall appearances. Perhaps it is this that makes it so sought after by homeowners, and buyers alike. What's more is that one can finish it in a high gloss or matte finish, according to his or her tastes.

In the case of integral color, it goes a step further. It incorporates a particular color directly into the mixing of the concrete, without ever affecting its integrity or durability. This way, the same shade exists from the top right through to the bottom, regardless of how big or thick the application.

This type of concrete is also attractive because, not only is it beautiful, but also easy to maintain. Even if it seems cold, as an idea, its color warms up with great ease. Plus, there are other beautiful accessories that can be used to warm it up further. This could be in the form of flowerbeds in the exterior applications, as well as outdoor rugs.

This is a wonderful idea in home interiors and exteriors as well. Consider a deck surrounding an in-ground pool completed in a shade that suits the backyard in its entirety. Everything is just blended perfectly to ensure a seamless design. Moreover, it can be made to mimic natural stone or other "flooring" options but all with the true benefits that concrete has to offer. Nothing can be more attractive, easy to maintain, and cost-effective as this solution. That's why it's a popular choice with beautifying town halls, large office and condominium buildings and more.
