Concrete Coating
Concrete coatings
are chemical compounds that sit on top of concrete surfaces and bind to the top layer to provide an aesthetically appealing protective barrier. Common options for coatings include epoxies, paint, and polyurethane compounds. Some coatings provide more protective benefits than others, while all options provide decorative benefits.
It is ideal for garage floors or along your driveway if you like a smooth and clear surface. Or you can coat it with a shiny, glossy, or matte top coat with vibrant colors. This can add charm and appeal to the space, either before you put the property on the market or to make the space more enjoyable for day-to-day use.
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete
is a decorative concrete technique that uses molds to create a textured surface that resembles other materials, such as brick, wood, or stone. When new concrete is poured and allowed to set to the correct consistency. It can be colored and stamped with any number of amazing patterns. Once the pattern is laid its finished up with detail work and contraction joints for a long lasting pattern. This also gives the added benefit of being easily maintainable and stylish,
stamped concrete
is also a cost-effective paving option, and is much more affordable than materials like stone or brick, making it a great choice for budget-conscious homeowners.
Concrete Sealing
Concrete sealing
and waterproofing is an important step in the preservation of your concrete. While concrete is a very durable material, it will start to show it's age with cracks, dimpling, or just wear of the top layer. Regular maintenance and sealing for weather and other types of wear and tear is very important since concrete is porous and will absorb moisture or stains such as oil from a car. When temperatures dip below freezing in the winter, it can damage the integrity of unsealed concrete. Fortunately, regular maintenance by our concrete contractors can help you select the right sealing product and apply it professionally whether it's an interior wax or a spray waterproofing sealer. We understand the weather here in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country, and will make sure we will seal everything to avoid any future damage.

Concrete restoration is the process of repairing damaged concrete to restore its original appearance and strength. It can be less expensive than rebuilding and can help preserve a building's strength and efficiency.
Concrete Restoration
is common for walkways, pools and especially in industrial settings. In this process we start by blasting off the surface dirt on the cement with a high powered pressure washer, patch spalled areas, then spread and trowel out the new concert. Once we're finished the quality is so good you would have no idea there were any repairs made.
What is the Difference Between Cement and Concrete?
Cement is actually an ingredient of concrete. Concrete is basically a mixture of aggregates and paste. The aggregates are sand and gravel or crushed stone: the paste is water and Portland cement. Cement compromises 10 to 15 percent of the concrete mix.
What Does It Mean to “Cure” Concrete?
Curing is one of the most important steps in concrete construction because proper curing greatly increases concrete strength and durability. Concrete hardens as a result of hydration: the chemical reaction between cement and water.
What is Air-Entrained Concrete?
Air-entrained concrete contains billions of microscopic air cells per cubic foot. These air pockets relieve internal pressure on the concrete by providing tiny chambers for water to expand into when it freezes.
Why Does Concrete Crack?
Concrete, like all other materials, will slightly change in volume when it dries out. In typical concrete, this change is about 1/16 of an inch in 10 feet. The use of joints is recommended to allow for the difference in volume changes due to shrinkage.
Why Do Concrete Surfaces Flake and Spall?
In areas of the county that are subjected to freezing and thawing, the concrete should be air-entrained to resist flaking and scaling of the surface. If air-entrained concrete is not used, there will be subsequent damage to the surface.
Another main reason for flaking and spalling is salt damage. Whether it is the salt from the streets that you drive on and then track onto your driveway, or the salt you put down yourself to melt the ice. This will damage your concrete.
What is 3,000-Pound Concrete?
It is concrete that is strong enough to carry a compressive stress of 3,000 psi after 28 days.
How to Protect Your Concrete Surface?
The first line of defense against chemical attack is to use quality concrete. The second line of defense is the application of a good quality sealer which will keep your concrete from absorbing spills.
What damages concrete most?
Repeated and sudden freeze/thaw cycles are incredibly damaging to most structures, but exposed concrete surfaces like driveways and sidewalks are particularly vulnerable to this.
How can you tell if concrete is weak?
the easiest thing to do is to tap around visibly weak areas with a hammer. If the head of the hammer bounces, the concrete's compressive strength is good. If the hammer indents and pulverizes the surface, the concrete is unsound and should come out.
What are the biggest problems with concrete?
Some of the biggest problems with concrete include:
Construction Errors.
Disintegration and Scaling.
Cracks.
Efflorescence. .
Erosion.
Spalling and Popouts.
Inspection and Monitoring.
