Concrete is an amazingly versatile and durable material, but sometimes you need it to be even tougher – that’s when hardened concrete is the way to go! Hardened concrete is created by adding chemical admixtures to the mix, resulting in a stronger and more durable finished product. Here are five residential uses where you might consider using hardened concrete for a more resilient finish:
- Driveways: A driveway is one of the most heavily used areas of a residential property, and as such, requires a material that can withstand heavy loads and frequent use. Hardened concrete is an excellent choice for driveways, as it can withstand the weight of cars, trucks, and other vehicles without cracking or crumbling.
- Patios: Like driveways, patios also see a lot of foot traffic and outdoor use. Hardened concrete can provide a durable and low-maintenance surface for your outdoor living space that will hold up to years of use and exposure to the elements.
- Walkways: Walkways are another area of the property that sees a lot of use, especially in high-traffic areas like the front entrance or backyard. Hardened concrete can create a smooth and safe walking surface that won’t crack or shift over time.
- Pool Decks: If you have a pool, a hardened concrete deck can provide a slip-resistant and durable surface that can withstand exposure to chlorine and other pool chemicals. Plus, it can provide a sleek and modern look that complements the design of your pool.
- Foundations: Finally, hardened concrete is an excellent choice for residential foundations. It provides the strength and durability needed to support the weight of the structure, and can resist damage from soil settling and other environmental factors.
When in doubt, hardened concrete is a great choice for areas that will bear heavy loads or stress.
