Why Concrete?

If you are still in the process of deciding whether to use concrete or other alternatives, here are some good reasons why concrete is the way to go.

• Concrete is one of the most versatile, durable, and cost effective building materials known to man. It’s environmentally sustainable, with “green” credentials that outperform both steel and timber.

• When installed inside a home, radiant heated concrete can reduce energy consumption by as much as 50% due to its excellent thermal mass energy consumption.

• Concrete is a very small contributor to greenhouse gases.

• Concrete is completely non-combustible (classified A1 fire retardant material) and has a slow rate of heat transfer, making it highly effective against the spread of fire.

• Concrete is non-allergenic – it does not harbour dust, dirt, pollen, and other allergens.

• Concrete is “pet friendly” – accidents wipe up with a damp cloth.

• Concrete requires very little maintenance and is easy to clean.

• Concrete is exceptionally durable.

• Concrete allows endless possibilities for creative custom design.

• Concrete can simulate the look of other materials. It can be coloured, textured and stamped to resemble brick, flagstone, wood, slate, marble and granite.
