6 Ways To Improve Your Concrete With Decorative Concrete

When you hear stamped concrete, you may immediately think about an exterior patio. However, more homeowners and businesses are rethinking, and choosing to use stamped concrete in various applications. Instead of completing replacing or resurfacing their concrete, stamped overlays can be a cost effective and simpler choice for the following:

• Restaurants

While many restaurants go with epoxy floor
coatings, newer trends have restaurants using decorative stamped overlays as a focal point. Adding medallions or just adding a simple tiled pattern brings a visual effect that is stimulating, but also easy to keep clean. Our stamped coatings are of a commercial grade so can withstand tough use.

• Laundry Flooring

While it’s not often you think about indoor residential flooring using stamped concrete, but laundry areas offer a perfect place to utilize a stamped concrete design. Laundry rooms are typically prone to water and detergents spilling. Stamped concrete allows for easy cleaning.

• Shower

Once again, if you’re thinking about adding a custom shower, use stamped concrete in your design. The finishes are beautiful and you can have them match any tile. Plus, concrete is easier to clean and you can take steps to ensure that the flooring doesn’t get slick. Pair your new concrete floor with stacked stone and you’ll be amazed at the results.

• Bathrooms

Don’t stop with just designing the shower with tile, fiberglass or concrete. Many people chose stamped concrete to compliment concrete countertops or tiled shower. Our designs can unify the multiple features and create a simplistic look that’s both modern yet functional.

• The Fire Pit or Fireplace

While you may have already thought about a stamped concrete fire pit, the use of a stamped concrete design on an indoor fireplace may have eluded you. Whether you choose to use indoors or out, a stamped fireplace can bring everlasting beauty to your home or business.

• Interior Flooring & More..

While many new homes provide open concepts, it helps to separate a large space with different types of furniture, columns and floorings to make the space more intimate and warmer. Many Phoenix homeowners will choose decorative concrete colors or textures to break up large spaces. Faux stone and muted stamping often can blend nicely with your décor. And since many of like to extend our living interior, outside --- how beautiful it is to blend some of the designs inside to outside on your patio concrete.

Things you need to know about concrete resurfacing in Phoenix

If you live in the Phoenix or surrounding areas, you know just how brutal the Arizona summer heat can be. This heat can also have a significant effect on your pool deck. The Desert City sees, on average, 17 days where temps are 110°F or above. What does this have to do with your pool deck? In direct sunlight, the concrete surrounding your pool can get up to 30 degrees higher than the air temperature. A Kool Deck can only be installed when your concrete is poured. But, what do you do when your Kool Deck needs repairs? Ultimate has you covered- and is known for doing 5 star work when it comes to Phoenix concrete resurfacing!

4 Creative Ways of using Concrete in your backyard

Take a look at these ideas that can have your southwest home ready for some genuine entertaining.

A Perfect Patio

Picture  great looking patio flooring with the look and feel of natural stone. Add in a few chairs with a table and umbrella, and you have yourself a great place to serve meals or simply sit and read a book.

Grilling Station and Wet Bar

What summer weekend would be complete without a place to grill or serve up a cold beverage? Using concrete to create a grilling station with a bar is easy to design. Plus, adding this feature for entertaining doesn’t require much space. You can install something small for two people or go as large as six. Whatever you choose, your concrete contractor can help you find the perfect look to match your façade.

Concrete Pergola Hot Tub

Adding a pergola for a spa can make a stressful day much more relaxing. Plus, if you like to garden, a concrete pergola is a great way to grow natural shade without risking wood rot. Placing a spa underneath give you and your family plenty of opportunity to watch the stars as you sip on a nice glass of wine.

Simple Fire Pit

While it’s not often those homeowners in Phoenix need to light a fire to keep warm, it does happen occasionally. A concrete fire pit can extend the life of your backyard throughout the fall and winter months.

6 Tips to make your Phoenix home more Springy!

Phoenix is warming up and it won't be long until everyone is spending their days outdoors again. Winter is the time to work on making your indoor space more cozy and attractive, but spring is the season for focusing on your outdoor areas. If you're looking for ways to spruce up your backyard and pool area before summer comes, these simple tips could help you out.

Clean Up Your Patio

Patios make great seating areas for relaxing and socializing, but only if they look attractive. If your patio is cracked, decayed, or dirty, it will affect the visual appeal of your entire yard. By resurfacing the concrete of your patio or even just adding a concrete overlay, you can make your patio concrete area look more neat, attractive, and inviting.

Add A Cool Deck to Your Pool Area

If you're lucky enough to have a pool in your backyard, you probably spend a lot of time there in the summer. However, pool decks often degrade over time, becoming ugly and sometimes unsafe. Repairing your pool concrete & deck is a good idea and using cool deck surfacing, which keeps the area cool while offering the stability of concrete is an excellent way to make your pool safer and more appealing.

Integrate Decorative Pots

 It can be easy for Phoenix yards to look dull in the summer months as most plants are dormant. By integrating large, colorful clay pots, you can introduce some brightness back into your yard. They look particularly great placed around pools and near wooden fencing.

Make the Most of Your Garage

 A garage shouldn't just be a mess of storage boxes and car parts. When it's organized properly and updated a little, it can become a valuable extension of your yard. The easiest way to update your garage is by adding new flooring that will wipe out stains and damage. Epoxy flooring comes in a variety of styles and it is attractive, oil resistant, and less slippery than comparable finishes, so it's a great garage flooring solution for your Phoenix home.

 

Introduce Summer Flowers

Nature can be sparse during the spring and summer in Phoenix, but plenty of plants can survive the hot temperatures. Try planting flowers like summer snapdragon, butter daisy, blanket flower, and Texas bluebell. They can all withstand the intense sun and will add a pop of color to your outdoor areas.

Improve Your Walkways

Use a service that will elevate the appearance of your walkways, offering a more attractive path around your backyard. By using epoxy or other coatings, you can make your walkways more even and choose styles that complement your yard. This is a particularly useful update in sunny Phoenix, where cooling surface coatings can make paving bearable for bare feet again.

There's no better time to start refreshing your backyard and pool area. You can use innovative concrete flooring techniques to revamp your yard in an affordable but significant way. If you want to spruce up your home this season, contact Ultimate Concrete Coatings. As an approved and registered concrete flooring contractor, they can help you successfully update your home, yard, and pool this spring.
