When Does Commercial Concrete Works Best?

May 30, 2020by TBI ContractingConcreteConstruction

Commercial concrete is used to enhance or build a business or commercial facility. This can include retail stores, warehouses, industrial buildings, and restaurants. It can be found in almost every facet of a building from the walls and floors to pavements and exterior walkways. Even architectural details in the building need a touch of commercial concrete.

When Does Commercial Concrete Work Best?

Commercial concrete is different from residential concrete since there is more demand on it for durability and structural performance. You will need commercial concrete contractors to ensure that a heavy reinforcement and strong concrete mix design is used for floors and pavements.

TBI Contractors work with commercial floors that require high-performance coats or finishes so that they can sustain stains, abrasions, and high foot traffic. High-visibility restaurants and retail stores need to have appealing designs and decorative treatment in order to make sure that a certain atmosphere is created.

Commercial concrete contractors can make them patterned or colored to improve traffic flow and look good. You can even get them to reflect on the theme of the business or the restaurant. For example, TBI contractors have many clients who prefer epoxy terrazzo coatings since they are durable and have high design versatility, making them perfect for high-traffic facilities.  An emerging trend is the metallic epoxies that clients love due to the metal-like dazzling element.

Many commercial buildings prefer a highly polished floor since it can help by brightening indoor spaces since it reflects overhead lighting. It is also low maintenance, abrasion-resistant, and durable. Commercial parking also receives a lot of heavy traffic, heavy vehicle load, and constant use. Commercial concrete has a long life span and has a light color, making it perfect for parking lots.

Another increasing trend is the use of tilt-up concrete walls, especially in big box stores and warehouses. It is efficient, flexible, and can be constructed quickly. There are also plenty of options to choose from in terms of decorative features, colors, and panel shapes. It can also be used to enhance the exterior of your commercial building with architectural elements like window sills, lintels, wall panels, and columns.

You can use commercial concrete for the following features (and more):

  • Buildings
  • Extensions
  • Basements conversion
  • Conservatories
  • Paths
  • Drainage
  • Fencing
  • Pavements
  • Parking lots
  • Floors

Commercial concrete has many applications in construction since it is such a versatile substance. If you are considering using it for your store, you should hire professional commercial concrete contractors like TBI Contractors. They will be able to get a much more efficient, durable, and visually-appealing result than any amateur.
