Adaptability
Hiding concrete under other flooring materials
is a waste of resources and money, particularly
when concrete can be customized with a number of
decorative looks to match any décor. Coloring,
staining, stamping, stenciling and polishing are
a few of the many options for customization. For
more classic design, concrete is an extremely
versatile material that can mimic the look of
many traditional textiles, such as tile, slate,
or wood.
Efficiency
Concrete floors are more energy efficient
because of their ability to retain heat.
Environmentally conscious home owners can
harness the power of solar radiation in the
winter to absorb heat and keep the home warmer.
During the summer months, shaded concrete floors
will help keep the home cool, reducing
air-conditioning costs. Concrete is also more
efficient to install than other flooring
options, with quantities measured and mixed
locally to minimize waste and transportation
costs.
Health
Unlike carpeting, concrete floors won’t absorb
dust, chemicals, pet hair, and other allergens.
Concrete helps improve air quality within the
home and is a better option for people with
allergies or sensitivity to chemicals.
Cost
Long-lasting exposed concrete flooring saves
money on initial development costs, as
additional flooring does not need to be
purchased to cover the concrete. Concrete
flooring also saves money on maintenance costs,
as it does need to be replaced like other
flooring options and cleaning costs are minimal.
Life Span
As opposed to carpet, tile, wood, and other
flooring options, concrete does not need to be
replaced numerous times throughout the life of
the building. Properly installed and sealed
concrete is highly durable and long-lasting

central Texas custom concrete design crew that
offers original, innovative ideas to help turn
your interior and outdoor areas into
personalized spaces that reflect your individual
style and complement the design of your home.
Custom concrete adds character to any room.
Colors add personality and intrigue, while
concrete patterns and designs can add a touch of
romance. Texture, shaping, details and custom
concrete features instill beauty, theme, and
function. Personal mementos can even be embedded
into countertops, walkways or floors to add
individual accents that your family will cherish
for years.
Custom decorative concrete can be used
throughout your home to add distinguishing
accents and beautiful design in every aspect,
including indoor concrete flooring, outdoor
concrete walkways, patios, decks, and kitchen
and bathroom sinks and counters. Decorative
concrete can be tailored to fit any Modern of
Texas Traditional style. Modern designs call for
minimal accents and neutral-colored washed
concrete, whereas classic Texas designs match
well with time-honored designs such as limestone
and Texas star stamped concrete. Eclectic
stylings coordinate with colorful flagstone, and
Tuscan-styled Austin homes are well accented
with stone textures and rustic travertine. Any
concrete design and any budget can be matched
with a distinctive Austin concrete style.
Aside from its beauty and
customizability, the benefits of custom
decorative concrete are numerous. Concrete is
highly adaptable, energy efficient, long-lasting
and cost-effective. People with health problems
find comfort in the hypoallergenic qualities of
concrete flooring, as it doesn’t trap allergens
and chemicals like carpet does.

custom concrete designs and functional concrete
accents that last a lifetime. Contact us with

Here are eight
unique ways that concrete countertops can be
customized to fit your personal design style:
Color
Concrete can be colored in any shade. Subtle
color can blend into a minimalist design, or
vibrant hues can add personality and intrigue.
Edge
A unique aspect of concrete is the ability to
customize the edge to match the style of your
home. Rough edges complement a natural, woodsy
room, whereas thick, straight edges complement
the sophistication of an old-world style
setting. Custom molds can even be developed to
bring in any pattern or design from the rest of
the room.
Embedding
Family heirlooms, personal keepsakes or tokens
from your travels can be embedded into a
concrete countertop for a personal accent. Play
up the theme of a room by embedding rock, coins,
or almost any item into the wet concrete during
the construction phase.
Drainboards
A drainboard can add function and style to your
countertop, as well as provide an interesting
and aesthetically-pleasing way to dry fruits and
vegetables after washing.
Trivets
Raised metal rods can be inserted into your
countertop during development to add function
and beauty. Exhibit decorative displays on the
raised surface, or use it as a convenient spot
to place pots and pans while cooking.
Backsplashes
Concrete can be used to create custom
backsplashes to protect walls near ovens and
sinks. Any size and shape can be made, and
backsplashes are an ideal place to incorporate
interesting designs and elements from throughout
the room.
Sizing and Customization
Concrete is easily molded and customized to fit
any size and style of room. Concrete countertops
can be curved, angled or straight, with sharp or
rounded edges and designs. Each countertop is
on-of-a-kind, designed to the specifications of
the homeowner.
Sinks
Concrete sinks can be designed along with the
countertop. Sinks can be inlaid or raised, and
formed to match the design of the room, with a
custom shape and design.

| One of the most
fashionable interior design trends today is
stained concrete. Both beautiful and functional,
stained concrete has magnificently rich
long-lasting coloring that won’t fade or flake.
Stain can even be applied to existing concrete,
making it an ideal solution for revitalizing
lackluster surfaces |
