Concrete Floors for Your Office

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

Offices are busy places; not only do employees come and go, but clients do, as well. The larger the business, the more people there will be walking around. This can take a toll on the flooring, and you want the floors to be maintained because they’re part of the impression your office gives, overall. However, in the midst of the important business you conduct, the floor care can take a backseat. That is merely one of the reasons that concrete floors for your office could be perfect; they’re strong enough to handle strenuous traffic, even with a little less maintenance.

If you don’t have concrete floors already, installing them may not be the huge project it seems to be at first. Sometimes, there are already concrete floors beneath your current ones; all that needs to be done is to pull up the carpet, or other flooring, and start the process of finishing. The only way to know is to look.

Even if there is not concrete there, you can still have it. The professionals at Stamped Artistry can give you concrete floors that greatly enhance the visual appeal of your office, while being strong enough to withstand the years with easy care. In fact, those floors could have many more pros than your current ones.

Spills and Cleaning

Concrete is solid and strong. It’s also less porous than other materials, which makes it more resistant to spills. Add strong sealers, and you have a very easy time cleaning. Just quickly wipe and dry up any spills. It’s also easy to dust and mop; gentle cleaners will work very well. You can perform deeper, steam cleans once or twice per year to keep things even more well-maintained. It is also easy to prevent the accumulation of dust and allergens. Overall, you can spend more time on business, and less on keeping the floors clean.

Strength

Hopefully, you will be in business for many years. If so, your floors will need to stay strong all that time. Well-made concrete floors—with strong sealing, cleaning, and maintenance—can withstand all your business traffic through the years. You may never have to replace them, unless you want to opt for a different look.

The Importance of a Seal on Your Concrete Pool Deck

Posted by | Uncategorized | No Comments

Concrete pool decks can be both beautiful and functional. To remain that way, they need help. That concrete is tough, but sitting in the sun and being subjected to other elements throughout the year will take a toll even on the toughest materials. A seal on your concrete pool deck will make the deck look better, prevent fading in the sun, and protect it from pool chemicals.

Protection for the Concrete and You

Whatever type of concrete you have around your pool—stamped, stained, textures, and more—a seal is always recommended to preserve the beauty and life of your floor or deck. That concrete sealant can give your deck improved color and a glossy look, if you want. There are many different levels of gloss and a tinted sealer can boost the color of your deck.

Stains are also risks of having concrete around the pool. Sealing the deck helps prevent this. Over the years, your concrete deck will be subject to all sorts of chemicals in the pool, as well as debris from the environment. A good sealer protects your concrete pool deck from all this. If things freeze over winter, your concrete will also be protected from ice and thawing damage.

If you’re concerned about slipping risks, you needn’t be worried. There are slip-resistant sealers that are perfect for use around the pool. You can have both the protection and sheen, while still keeping your children safe as they play around the pool. This type of seal can help prevent accidents, even when water is splashed onto the concrete.

When your concrete pool deck is well-sealed, you help maintain it’s beauty over the years. You save yourself money on repairs, and may even need less maintenance. Of course, with slip-resistant sealers, you keep yourself safe, too.

Whether you get a new concrete pool deck, or you have one already, have it sealed to preserve it. Call Stamped Artistry today for all your concrete needs.
