My top 5 reasons to go with stamped concrete.


Decorative concrete is increasingly becoming popular because of its many uses and benefits, particularly in driveways, patios and walkways. It adds style and excitement to various home building projects without sacrificing functionality. Here are the top 5 reasons to choose decorative concrete.

1. Great Looks – Decorative concrete can be supplied in a wide variety of colours, textures, patterns and designs. Its eye-catching appeal can be produced by using dyes, stains, oxides and sealers.

 2. Flexible Options – Decorative concrete offers a wide variety of choice and can imitate stone, brick, cobblestone and slate. Exposed aggregate creates aesthetic outdoor living, often by being coloured, stamped, acid-etched or polished.

3. Long Lasting– Decorative concrete floors, patios and driveways are built to last. Concrete is exceptionally durable and can withstand pressure, heavy loads and extreme weather conditions. Concrete solutions are economical and provide long-term value for money.

4. It’s Eco-Friendly –Limestone, the richest mineral on the planet is the raw material in cement. With use of limestone and other waste by-products, decorative concrete promotes green, eco-friendly solutions. Concrete recycling allows concrete to be re-used in commercial grade ground installations, repurposed for residential building products or as the sub-base for gravel roads. Larger cuts can be used to prevent coastal erosion.

5. Very Low Maintenance – Decorative concrete promotes dust, dirt and debris free surfaces that are easy to maintain. It is also mould and allergen resistant, offering a healthy and safe environment.

Enzo Concrete | London Ontario | What is Stamped Concrete

What is Stamped Concrete 




 Stamped Concrete is concrete that has a decorative impression stamped into the surface. This occurs when concrete is poured for a driveway, sidewalk, patio, pool deck, or entranceway, then before the concrete hardens, a lasting impression is stamped into the surface using rubber mat tools with a texture. The stamps are pressed into place with a tamper and rotated successively across the slab. Colors are applied either integrally with pigments added to the cement, or cast on the surface with color hardeners. An antiquing release agent (powder or liquid) is used to keep the tools from sticking to the concrete and also leaving the surface with a more defined look, including a noticeable color contrast. This is all done before the concrete is fully hardened. Bordering and mixing patterns, acid etching, and staining also enhance the beauty of stamped concrete. For many years stamped concrete was done with cookie cutter type tools, which are limited in beauty and not too authentic looking. But now, stamped concrete offers many authentic pattern choices such as brick, tile, slate, cobblestone, random and in-laid fieldstone patterns, and also wood plank patterns. Stamped concrete is always protected with a sealer to ensure years of beauty and service. Sealers can vary from a matt finish to a high gloss finish, with non-skid additives to help with skid resistance. Custom Colored Stamped Concrete has truly become an artistic expression of the designer and installer.

Top ways to add value to your house

Part 1 | London Ontario | Top ways to add value to your house


In the days of an uncertain an uncertain market , there's no place like home sweet home. Even though the housing bubble burst over the course of 2007 and 2008, according to CNN, homeowners in many areas of the United States can still recoup 80 to 90 percent of the money spent on home improvements. The key is to know where to spend. Just because you put $20,000 into renovations, it won't necessarily add that much value. If your house needs a new roof, you won't see a return on it for a while because people expect the roof in a house they're buying to be in good shape. The same can be said for your plumbing and electrical systems.
Bad plumbing will detract from the value, but new plumbing won't necessarily drive up the price tag. The key to adding value is to focus on the things that are important to buyers, and to not over-improve. You don't want to have the most expensive house on the block. So if the houses in your neighborhood have concrete driveways, investing in expensive brick pavers may not be in your best interest financially.

Here, in no particular order, are some tips for how to get the best bang for your buck on your home renovations, even in a tight real estate market.
