Stamped Concrete, Changing Climate

After record setting temperatures in February, we are having record setting temperatures in March also.





 You might say so whats the big deal these sort of things happen right. ...yes sure but the freaky thing about it that in February it was all about snow and below zero -5, in March the opposite warmer than average like up to 21 celsius.













 How did the weekly snowfall affected the residential concrete works, simply put, it came to a complete halt. only the scheduled highrise floors were poured with heaters underneath.

 We are back and happy to serve the greater Vancouver area since the nice weather hit the lower mainland in all March visit us at Stamped Concrete Call John for an estimate at: 604 377 3657

Concrete Wine Cellar

...Yes we've done it poured a concrete wine cellar, I mean what's the big deal? It's a concrete structure it eventually will hold Wine we do concrete works daily to us a job like this is is no different, some body says don't edge the top so we did not, today I find out it was suppose to be edged.

...So listen if you want it edged let me know ahead of time ok, cause it wont help if I find out next day right.

Other than that I gave it 3 nice hit, so now it's nicely done, I hope you like it. by John Tar, Stamped Concrete

Broom Finished Sidewalks, Patios, Stairs, Driveways vs Smooth

Lets face it, you've been asking for nice smooth finished patios stairs, sidewalks and driveways for the last couple of years.... Now be honest and tell me how many close calls you've had last winter because subzero temperatures and extremely slippery conditions on the surface of your concrete you like so much. Now think of having the same concrete but with some traction for a rainy,or winter day, like these beautifully broom finished surfaces.

You can still clean it, wash it clean and will look fine, and most of all will be safe to use it. so be smart and get a grip. for all our concrete products, more information visit: Stamped Concrete call for an estimate: 604 377 3657
