History of Concrete
To have a better understanding about concrete uses and why it is widely used all over the globe, let us discuss at least a bit of its history.
Most people thought that concrete is a modern innovation, but it’s already been used during ancient days. Egyptians used concrete to build the magnificent pyramids, and they are still standing 5,000 years later. In 6500 B.C Romans used concrete to build their buildings, and many of them still survive and remain the symbol of Roman architecture. Many of the structures that were built during ancient period withstood the test of time. And until now we are still in awe and enjoying the beauty of these structures. No wonder people primarily use concrete to build a strong foundation for houses and other infrastructures until today.
Characteristics of Concrete
Concrete was used to build world wonders such as the pyramids and other ancient structures, which we now admire and study in awe, because without a doubt, concrete has excellent properties that allow it to withstand the test of time. Any colour, form, style, pattern, or texture may be integrated into concrete. This explains its diverse range of applications, which includes everything from massive building structures and bridges to small residential applications.
When cement, water, and aggregates are blended together to create concrete, it becomes stronger and has the ability to withstand compression. It is so firm and sturdy that it must be smashed with a sledge or jackhammers.
Our Concrete Specialisation
Polished Concrete
Even though the oldest known form of polished concrete was discovered in 1886 in the City of Jericho, its current form was just discovered by accident in the 1990s by a natural stone polishing contractor in Tunisia.
Most people in Australia prefer polished concrete because of its texture and durability. However, when it comes to designing, there simply must be a specific style that blends the polished concrete floor with the rest of the home.
The benefit of polished concrete is that it exudes personality and art. It gives the foundation of the structure, as well as the walls, ceiling, and furniture, a sense of balance. It might be a little more expensive but it’s worth the money. It’s not all about trying to make your floor look good. Take a seat, study your home’s floor and surroundings, and determine how you can achieve the ideal balance.
What is the Cost of Polished Concrete?
The cost will depend on your location and the complexity of the project. The cost can also be determined by how many levels of grindings are needed to achieve the desired smoothness. The price can increase depending on the decorative effects used, such as staining or scoring.
Additional information that will contribute to final costing:
- Area Size The overall cost depends on the total area. But here’s the good news, the price per square metre for larger spaces can be significantly lower.
- Glossiness level. The cost can be determined by the number of steps in the polishing process. More steps need to be done for glossier results.
- Existing Flooring If there is existing flooring that needs to be removed, that will increase the costing. Stains and glue for currently carpeted floor need to be removed.
- Design Cost may also vary depending on the design you choose. Almost everything is possible, from basic grey concrete polishing to complex custom designs.
Three procedures used:
- Adding base colour Base colour is used as the primary colour in flooring. It will match the natural colour of the building material. A colour hardener is added to the concrete to produce the base colour. A powder pigment used to stain concrete is called paint hardener.
- Adding accent colour Accent colour is used as the secondary colour. When used, it produces texture and shows other building materials like grout. Colour release should be applied to the concrete to produced accent colour.
- Stamping patterns The procedure which uses concrete stamp to make patterns is called concrete stamping. It should be placed after applying colour release. The concrete stamps are being pressed into the surface and then removed to leave the pattern in the concrete.
Added value to your home
When it comes to home renovations, it is a cost-effective choice. The possibilities for enhancing and adding value to your home are limitless when you use decorative stamped concrete on floors or vertically.
Easy to Install
If your concrete slab is in good shape, stamped concrete floors can be installed easily. Jobs go a lot faster when projects are built on top of existing materials.

How much does concrete stencilling cost?
The cost of stencilling is determined by the design’s complexity, the number of colours required, and other factors such as access to your location and the equipment required for the project. Stencilling concrete can be more expensive than bricks or pavers in the expense of pouring new concrete. But resurfacing an existing concrete surface is much less expensive than having the concrete removed. The cost for removing old concrete and laying pavers is more costly than concrete stencilling.
