Decorative Concrete Finishes

Decorative Concrete Finishes

Over the last decades decorative concrete has evolved into a main stream finish for both interior and exterior applications. In an effort to provide a better understanding of the various decorative concrete applications and finishes, The Decorative Concrete Council is promoting this new presentation for 2020 and beyond that visually defines the various finishes within the seven key markets. These include cast-in-place concrete, stamped concrete, stained concrete, decorative overlays, vertical, polished concrete, and decorative sealers / coatings. Participants will have a greater awareness of the different finishes within each decorative discipline along with benefits, attributes and limitations.
