1. 4 Unique Uses For Concrete In Your Home

2. As a versatile and popular type of construction material, concrete can be used to build roads and sidewalks, or homes and commercial properties, among others. Thanks to its aesthetic appeal, incredible durability, versatility, and the fact that it costs considerably less than some other building materials, it’s no surprise that concrete is as universally popular as it is, but have you ever considered using it in the following 4 unique ways?

3. 1. Kitchen countertops You may think concrete doesn’t belong in a kitchen, but thanks to its’ versatility and durability, when used in the form of countertops, it can be unique and highly functional. In fact, there are a number of ways in which concrete can be incorporated into the design of your kitchen; it doesn’t just stop at countertops. From islands and cabinets, to custom sinks, when you choose the right color and texture, concrete can work wonderfully well alongside other design elements in your kitchen, or work well as a standalone element in contrast with the rest of your kitchen.

4. 2. Stained concrete floors Floors are an important aspect of any home renovation, and many homeowners are choosing to experiment with different materials when designing the flooring, and are increasingly opting out of carpets in favor of highlighting the beauty of their natural floors. Stained concrete floors are a fantastic way of adding a unique touch to the floors of your home, and as they come in many colors and hues, you’re left with many ways to add both depth and dimension to virtually any room in your home. What’s arguably even better for homeowners, is that they’re easy to clean and maintain.

5. 3. Polished concrete floors Having already discussed the merits of flooring in your newly renovated home, we don’t need to go over old ground, but it’s worth taking a brief look at what polished concrete floors could do for your bathroom. Smooth and sleek in appearance, it’s also warm beneath your feet, and the reflective nature of it can help the room seem bigger than it is, as light is encouraged to bounce around the space.

6. 4. Stamped concrete walkway What your home looks like from the approach is just as important to homebuyers as it is to homeowners, but for homeowners in particular, curb appeal is crucial for generating interest in a property that’s on the market, and for securing a sale. Fortunately, with a stamped concrete driveway or walkway, you can give your property instant curb appeal, and often in a way many believed possible only with the use of tiles of bricks. Stamped concrete can also be used to beautify your back patio or add elegance to your pool area, without requiring any significant maintenance.

7. If you do plan to use concrete in any of the ways listed above for your renovation project (or in any other innovative ways), be sure to find a contractor that can use it with skill so that you achieve the desired effect.
