Did you know that concrete is the most widely used artificial material in the world?

This material is very popular in industrial and commercial construction projects, and residential renovations. If you're starting a new business project or want to refresh the look of your business, you'll want to consider concrete for the following reasons:

It will get stronger over time.

One of the biggest advantages of concrete is that the correct mix will strengthen over time. When cement mixes are used in concrete, stucco, non-specialty grouts, and mortars, the mix goes through a hydration process that combines cement and water into a rock-like material.

This hydration process does not happen just once. Repeated several times during the life of the concrete, allowing the cement to increase in strength over time.

The standard strength of concrete is about 3,000 psi (pounds per square inch), but some can achieve more than 7 times that strength. This type of resistance is difficult to find in other materials for commercial construction projects.

With that said, you can be sure that your concrete will last for years and will be one of the best investments you can make for your business.

A nice slab will attract people.

There is nothing more attractive to customers than a beautiful setting, just as nothing is more unpleasant than a pothole in a parking lot or cracked concrete. This is especially true in Mexico City, where flat parking lots, sidewalks, or highways are no exception.

Cladding a parking lot with concrete or interior flooring can make a world of difference in attracting newcomers.

It is very reliable.

Fun fact: The oldest concrete slab known to man dates back to 500 B.C. This stuff has been around for a long time, and for good reason.

Extreme strength comes with extreme reliability. In addition to normal wear and tear from traffic or weather, concrete can withstand thousands of pounds and stress.

With these benefits, it's no wonder concrete is one of the most widely used materials for renovating interior and exterior commercial applications.
