Concrete is one of the most versatile and available building materials. Concrete driveways are extremely strong and can carry the weight of heavy vehicles for decades without issue. While asphalt driveways are often cheaper, concrete driveways are likely to last longer and require less maintenance. When properly installed, concrete driveways can hold up well under just about anything Mother Nature can dish out. Concrete has proved useful for driveways, walkways, patios and flooring. Concrete flooring is not only more durable than just about any other flooring material, when polished, stained, or stamped, it is also one of the most attractive. These techniques have taken concrete flooring out of garages and basements and into kitchens, hallways, living rooms, and bathrooms. Concrete flooring can also be coated with epoxy to enhance appearance.
