Decorative Concrete Ideas for Design and Durability



The general opinion that concrete surfaces for outdoor spaces like pedestrian plazas and sidewalks are dull and grey is going to change forever thanks to innovative companies like Pavement Surface Coatings. Concrete and asphalt in public areas can now virtually take any color, shape, and texture through new age polymer based concrete materials like Endurablend.
The main reason that concrete is the feasible option for decorators, builders and buyers is its affordability. Yet no one can make out that concrete is a cheap material from its look, feel and effect. The decorative surfacing of concrete has led to immense popularity in areas that have high footfalls such as airport runway and taxiway surfaces, bridge decks, sea walls, and bus and bike lanes.

Usually, pedestrians traveling through crosswalks or sidewalks depend upon the signage and markings along the road to guide them and direct them towards the correct direction. Typically, only a glance at these markings is enough to guide us along the path. If these markings and signs are not appropriate or incur some wear and tear, it can be risky for the pedestrian. Also, if the experts do not overlay crosswalks with some form of a   decorative concrete surface, then the overall dull grey look becomes too weary to walk on. With this philosophy in mind, the City of Las Vegas embraced new-age concrete overlay technologies. They used thermoplastic with a brick pattern on a crosswalk. The application of Endurablend removed the issue with bonding and premature wear and tear.  The problem  Due to the conditions of the street and crosswalk, the markings wore off quickly from the concrete or asphalt surfaces. The existing materials used in the concrete overlay was...

Reasons why city planners always rely on us when they need green bicycle road markings
