Tired of weathered wooden planks underfoot? Warped boards with splinters and nails popping up? Pressure-treated lumber requires so much sealing, staining, splinter-smoothing…hands up if you’re ready for a no-fuss decking solution.
Keep reading as we explore how concrete decking can transform your outdoor living possibilities with beauty, versatility and enduring practicality.
Benefits of Concrete Decking
Once considered dull and utilitarian, concrete has shed its dreary reputation thanks to innovative modern treatments. Today’s concrete offers the best of all worlds:
– Durability – Hardy, dense concrete withstands decades of foot traffic, furniture shifting, sun/frost cycles and precipitation. Annual pressure washing restores its like-new sheen.
– Low Maintenance – Unlike wood decks, concrete requires no time-consuming sealing, staining, or splinter-fixing. You enjoy your deck instead of working on it.
– Custom Styling – Creative scoring, aggregate mixes, color tints and finishings let you match your design aesthetic. Achieve wood plank, stone or tile looks. Even integrate radiant heating!
– Longevity – Properly poured concrete maintains its integrity. Its non-porous, solid surface won’t crack, warp or rot. Your concrete deck remains a reliable outdoor asset.
– Value Adding – Concrete decks offer one of the best returns on investment for Bay Area homes. Outdoor living space and curb appeal drive buyer interest.
Beyond its practical durability, concrete opens exciting design possibilities for your custom deck. The look you crave likely exists through creative formations and finishes.
Customizable Concrete Decking Designs
One advantage of concrete is how easily it transforms into various decking styles:
Plank Style – Mimics real wood with deep grain impressions and long, narrow strips. Can also mimic composite decking with simulated clip fasteners. Feels like wood but without the upkeep.
Tile Style – Replicates the upscale vibe of stone, ceramic or porcelain tiles in shapes, sizes and colors tailored to your taste. Intricate scoring lends grout line detail.
Aggregates – Blended aggregates like pea gravel, crushed glass and natural stones lend texture along with salt/skid resistance. Polished blends retain smooth walking surfaces.
Color Tinting – Integrally colored concrete in earthy hues of slate, pecan, chestnut and sage adds natural warmth. Vivid bright tints like crimson or sky blue make bold statements.
Scored Patterns – Straight and angled saw lines imprinted while concrete is curing create interesting visual designs. Geometric, nautical, even whimsical patterns possible.
