Concrete in Art - Creative Ideas We Love

When it comes to concrete, most people picture a dull gray color or cold driveways and sidewalks. However, this dismal substance that is used to pave roads and even build structures has much more potential than we give credit to. Although concrete art (or the concept of) can be dated back to millenniums ago - from cave paintings all the way to modern-day graffiti - we have also seen other forms of concrete art emerge over the past decade or so. In fact, many of these art forms can even be done at home or tailored to already existing hobbies and passions!

The Importance of Good Concrete Joint Stabilization
The Importance of Good Concrete Joint Stabilization

Stable concrete joints are more important than you might realize. All concrete surfaces, from busy highway roads to concrete basement floors and everything in between, need the same underlying element to maintain their long-term durability— knowledgeably-designed joints. For residential and commercial purposes alike, joints are essential to minimize cracking and “joint spalling,” which is the early deterioration of concrete slab edges.

Fixing Vs. Repairing Uneven Concrete
Fixing Vs. Repairing Uneven Concrete

There's a reason unlevel concrete is often left to continue shifting until an unavoidable problem arises – the thought of having it replaced is daunting, and it seems like a time-consuming and costly undertaking. That's because it often is. Full replacement of concrete involves hiring a demolition crew, removing and properly disposing of concrete and debris, stabilizing the foundation anew, and re-pouring the cement. Even then, you'll need to wait 24-72 hours before walking or driving on the fresh concrete. But there's another option that just might be the perfect solution to your uneven concrete woes.
