Why should you consider concrete for making your Home an Oasis?

• Durability - when properly installed, concrete is one of the most durable materials on earth. Properly maintained, decorative concrete will last for many decades.
  
  
• Optimal Radiant Heating - whether in a slab-on-ground or cement-based topping, decorative concrete is ideal for use with radiant floor heating due to its excellent thermal mass properties.
  
  
• Health - decorative concrete is a great alternative to carpeting for people suffering from
  respiratory ailments and allergies.
  
  
• Cost - decorative concrete floors compare favorably with wood, ceramic, or quarry tile floors when amortized over the life of the floor. When elaborate designs and complex patterns are incorporated, concrete can save money when compared to marble or slate.
  
  
• Craftsmanship - decorative concrete installed by a quality concrete craftsman offers an unlimited color palette. Every application is unique and can be customized to meet the desires of a homeowner.

• When you want to get away from it all and cocoon with your family, you want it to be a place of reprieve and relaxation. So when its time to make your backyard retreat or make your home a castle, nothing gives you a better value, luxury, style, durability, and creativity options. Period.
  
  
• Concrete is less expensive, in most cases, than stone, marble, or pavers. Stone or marble are more expensive than concrete by a factor of 1-1/2 to 3 times. You can use a lot less smart money get the same type of look.
  
  
• Decorative concrete is a craft product. Working directly with a craftsman to design a one-of-a-kind product is not an option in most purchases these days. With CosmeticConcrete.com, you interact with our craftsmen and artists who will create a floor, a countertop, a backyard patio or even a pool deck that is uniquely your very own. It can be an experience of a lifetime.
  
  
• You can have truly a custom product that’s unlike any other. With granite countertops, for instance, you have to select a slab of granite from what is available. With Corian®, it comes in a limited number of colors or patterns.
  With tile, you have a certain choice of shapes and sizes. Concrete is totally customizable. With CosmeticConcrete.com, you can create something that is not available elsewhere. Finally you can, when you want something simply because everyone else doesn’t or can’t have it
  
  
• CosmeticConcrete.com, offers designers and other creative people a wealth of potential. Decorative concrete is not for everybody. When something becomes too mainstream it falls from favor in the minds of many. Compare the aesthetic, nature-based and "soft" in contrast to the "hard" digital aesthetics of modern computer-age design.
  
  
• Concrete is clean. Millions of people suffer from allergies. Concrete flooring doesn’t harbor allergens or mites. Concrete is easy to maintain and won’t need to be replaced. Compared to concrete pavers or asphalt, maintaining concrete is a breeze. Concrete is recognized as one of, if not the most, long-lasting construction materials on earth.
  
  
• Concrete is central to sustainable design. With the energy shortage there’s a large and growing concern about sustainable design. Leaving concrete floors stained or polished fits right in with the sustainable design theme. If you plan on using radiant floor heating, the most efficient way to heat your home – concrete works beautifully. You certainly don’t want to be placing wood or carpet over the concrete with radiant flooring – that defeats the purpose.
