As everything changes, so too do trends in decor. Newer, fresher ideas make life more interesting and exciting, so these are welcome changes. For instance, flooring manufacturers and designers are giving consumers more options. Below, discover what integral color concrete can do in design, and how they can increase property value instantaneously.

Trends come and go, but timeless design is something that stays on forever. In order to have that, something has to be beautiful, as well as durable. Unfortunately for the longest time, no one really considered the beauty that can exist in concrete. Reasons for this are simple, as it was always considered a ground surface or cover in landscaping and industrial buildings.

Before, it was just bland, far from attractive, and quite bitterly cold. Then one day, through the changes in technology, paints, and so on they made it beautiful when they added color. It could be any one of the many that the consumer decides to use, and then it is protected with a sealer to provide longevity.

The idea was so creative it caught on on every level. Regardless of the design scheme, or even the consumers financial backgrounds, everyone found attractive and wanted this idea implemented into their own homes or offices. Since then, concrete counters in kitchens and bathrooms have become more sought after, as everyone is looking for more custom look.

Because this particular application is done by hand, there is no way to duplicate it, meaning everything is unique. That's one of the reasons why so many consumers are attracted to it. The other reason is because they can have a custom finish, with either glossy or matte.

With integral color, the idea is to incorporate the shade into the concrete while it is mixed. In doing so, it creates a thorough shade right through, whether it's precast or cast in place. All the while, it will not affect the integrity, or the durability and longevity of the cement. In the end, the customer gets a consistent shade throughout the space, regardless of the size or thickness.

Another benefit is that it's quite simple to maintain. While it may seem cold as a surface, accessories can warm it up easily. Just add an area rug over distinct areas in a room. As for counters, they look stunning on their own, or with lovely accessories typically used in kitchens or bathrooms.

In a residential home, both interior and exterior, this concept works wonderfully. For instance, imagine a beautiful in ground pool completely surrounded by a concrete pool deck with a lovely color that will never fade. Instead, it will always look good for years to come. Take it a step further with an application that mimics natural stone, as well as many other types of flooring options, but without those problems attached to them. Look for something easy to keep up, that always looks great, and that is a cost-effective solution, like this.
