Without decorative concrete products, every Orlando home and business would have a cookie-cutter look and design. Driveways, walkways, flooring, countertops, and other vertical and horizontal surfaces would be boring. Thanks to innovative companies, like Select Surface Solutions, you have access to a wide range of products to give concrete surfaces new life.

Enhanced Aesthetics

Without question, the right concrete products greatly enhance aesthetics. Whether used indoors or outdoors, these products completely transform the appearance of concrete surfaces. Years ago, decorative concrete only came in a few finishing choices, such as acid stain or integrally colored concrete. Although those options were a far cry from earlier choices, they still lacked the variety of todays choices.

Today, concrete products are completely different. By going through Select Surface Solutions, you as an experienced contractor can change concrete by using different techniques, including texturing, polishing, staining, stamping, acid-etching, dyeing, overlays, stenciling, engraving, and coating. As part of this, you can choose from a vast selection of colors and patterns for a one-of-a-kind finish.

Safety

Decorative concrete products also can add to safety.  As an example, you can choose beautiful finishes that have a non-slip surface. When used around swimming pools, on stairs, in high-traffic areas, in industrial environments, in retail stores, in restaurants, and more, this dramatically reduces the risk of falls and slips. There are even products that offer more strength and durability to load-bearing areas, such as warehouses where forklifts are used.

The Bottom Line

Whether you are interested in enhancing the aesthetics of a home or business, making a space safer, or looking to add some of your own personality to a design, nothing beats the professional concrete products currently available in Orlando. To learn how to work with these products like a true professional, you can visit the “how to” section on Select Surface Solutions’ website for a wealth of information or contact us directly.
