The impact of weather on decorative concrete surfaces
When you’re considering decorative concrete surfaces for your home or business, you may be wondering how weather will affect them. Creative Concrete Construction can tell you that weather can have both positive and negative impacts on decorative concrete surfaces.
When it comes to positive impacts, the weather can help maintain the look of your decorative concrete surfaces. The sun’s UV rays can help keep the colors vibrant, while rain and snow can help keep the surface free from dirt and debris. Additionally, the freeze-thaw cycle that is common in many climates can help reinforce the surface’s strength.
On the other hand, there are some potential negative impacts of weather on decorative concrete surfaces. For example, the sun’s UV rays can cause fading over time. In addition, the freeze-thaw cycle can cause cracking and spalling if the concrete surface is not properly sealed.
To minimize the negative impacts of weather on decorative concrete surfaces, Creative Concrete Construction recommends taking the following steps:
• First, choose colors and textures that are designed to resist fading.
• Next, make sure the surface is properly sealed with a quality sealant that is designed for outdoor use.
• Finally, apply a topical sealer annually to help protect the surface from the elements.
These steps, along with proper maintenance and cleaning, will help ensure that your decorative concrete surfaces maintain their beauty and strength for years to come.
