Patios & Pool Decks
![]() Concrete can find applications in different types of ways in a commercial or residential building and this is what Houston Concrete Works tries to showcase. Concrete has a lot of advantages compared to other materials, especially when it is to be used in outdoor spaces that are exposed to external weather conditions. A prime example of outdoor spaces like that is a patio and pool deck. A patio is like an outdoor relaxation area and it is usually built to be open and devoid of any shades or covering. A pool deck is also exposed to a lot of water and hence, durable and long-lasting material is needed.
Concrete Patios Patios are generally made out of wood but it has been found that wood is highly susceptible to rot, attack from termites, fading, etc. It cannot withstand the hard weather conditions of the outdoors for a long period. This is where a material like concrete comes in; it cannot rot or be attacked by insects and it is very resilient. So, if you are looking to building an outdoor patio without having to worry about the possibility of the material failing over time due to prolonged exposure to the weather, concrete is a good option to consider. Benefits of Concrete Patios The main benefit of having a concrete patio lies in the resilience and durability of the material. It does not undergo damage like wood or composite and this makes it perfect for long term use. Also, in terms of cost, concrete is way cost-effective than wood as it can be easily repaired in the case that it gets damaged. Also, when compared to wood, the maintenance needed for concrete is lower. With concrete, all that needs to be done is sweeping the space and keeping it clean. Wood on the other hand requires staining and other types of maintenance for it to last. Concrete Pool Decks Having a pool in your residential or commercial property is a great idea. What better way to relax on a hot sunny way than to go swimming? However, when considering the materials to use for the surrounding areas of the pool, i.e. the pool deck, many materials come to mind. To get the most out of your pool, a material that people can easily walk on without slipping, one that can withstand all the water and heat, and most importantly human traffic without fading should be chosen. Concrete is a good idea for this as it offers all of the above. At Houston Concrete Works, we can help you spice up your pool with a concrete pool deck. Benefits of Concrete Pool Decks Unlike wood that comes in only one shape and form that has to be adhered to, concrete is way more versatile. This is in the sense that concrete can be used in different ways to beautify your pool decks.
