subject: Houston Concrete Needs The Protection Provided By Carvestone [print this page] Allied Outdoor Solutions provides the city of Houston concrete protection that far surpasses the other options that are available and have been commonly used for years. The Carvestone concrete coating installed by Allied Outdoor Solutions is a limestone mix that developed in Europe. It was applied to historic buildings in restoration products because of its real stone look and because of the protection it provides from the elements. Now that it's being used in residential settings, homeowners are discovering that Carvestone offers numerous benefits that made it a valuable addition to their home. Exterior concrete surfaces are always susceptible to damage over time after being exposed to the sun and weather.
This is especially a problem for concrete surfaces in the Houston area, which must deal with the heat, humidity and other weather conditions that are a part of the year-round climate in this part of the country. Stamped concrete has long been one of the more popular concrete overlay methods because it does strengthen concrete surfaces and can sometimes be affordable. Stamped concrete, however, has only a 3500 PSI rating where as the Carvestone concrete coating has a PSI rating of 5800; nearly double that of plain concrete. This leads to Carvestone looking new for years longer than stamped concrete surfaces.
The protection that Carvestone provides, however, is not usually what initially catches the attention of homeowners. That real stone look that comes with a Carvestone design is so authentic that most people won't know the difference and will assume that you paid the expensive prices associated with installing real stone. And not only do you get that look with Carvestone; you're actually able to fully customize the look, something that isn't nearly as feasible with real stone. Allied Outdoor Solutions works with each client to create fully unique designs that match the vision and desires of the homeowner.
All of our work is done by hand, so you there are no messy tear outs. This makes a big difference for anyone that has had to live through a home improvement project that forced them to deal with all of the side effects that are typically a part of that process. Our hand installation process also allows for texturing that actually makes these surfaces even less slippery when wet, making it ideal for pool deck resurfacing. Carvestone can also be installed on driveways, walkways, patios and any other exterior concrete Houston homeowners choose.
