This decorative concrete block is so cute. It’s like an iceing swirl on a birthday cake.
It’s a much softer design, with rounded edges, unlike most of the previous ones we’ve studied.

Teresa dropped me an email yesterday, pointing me to an ultra-cool line of concrete tables created by artists Parvez Taj and concrete artisan James Dewulf. You may really like this...The duo have combined their talents and unveiled a line of contemporary concrete tables printed with Taj's fresh, hip graphic designs. The project was made possible by the use of ground breaking printing technology that uses UV light to cure eco-friendly inks. The cement table is a sustainable alternative to using natural stones which generally involve large quarries and requires massive amounts of fuel consumption. Dewulf and Taj broke conventions by pioneering a new technology to design an edgy, functional yet earth friendly piece.I enjoy the bright colors of Taj's work here. Well done, guys!Stan

Another type of flooring is wall-to-wall carpets and linoleum. Carpets - soft, warm, easy to handle, varying in colors - should be replaced every 10 years. The reason is that plastics used as a base for carpets start to decompose after that period of time.

Self leveling concrete is an amazing product. The beauty of self leverers is that you can control the height of your floor. They can also be stained and sealed. Mapei makes a self leveling product that can level smooth as glass with almost zero shrinkage. Other companies are working on similar products. During the past week I filmed the installation of Mapei self leveling concrete in a new restaurant. It was the only flooring solution that would work. One of the issues was that there was little thought about the floor until late in the project. This happens a lot. Flooring should be the first consideration in every project then design and build from there, not the other way around. All the moldings were already in and painted. Tile had been installed in the kitchen leaving a height issue w
Precast stone is distinguished from precast concrete by using a fine aggregate in the mixture so the final product approaches the appearance of naturally occurring rock or stone. Since Roman Empire builders made use of concrete and soon poured the material into molds to build their complex network of aqueducts, culverts and tunnels. Modern uses for Precast Concrete technology include a variety of architectural applications including free-standing walls used for landscaping, soundproofing and security walls.Precast architectural panels are also used to clad all or part of a building facade. Storm water drainage, water and sewage pipes and tunnels make use of precast concrete units. The advantages of using Precast Concrete is the increased quality of the material, when formed in controlled c
Heads up fellow home based business entrepreneurs and online money makers, how’s the idea of making lots of money from precast concrete items sounds like?The idea might sounds ridiculous for some but let us take a look at this opportunity up close. I got this idea after stumbling upon JensenPrecast Dot Com a few minutes ago. Jensen Precast is an American company founded in 1968 in Reno, Nevada. The company one time ago manufactured wastewater products such as septic tanks but after going through some expansion programs, the company now has thousands of interesting products that are built around concrete, precast and cast-in-place concrete. I have taken a look at their products such as their precast concrete septic tanks and I truly believe that Jensen Precast has something good going wit

What could be more appealing than the riot of shapes, colors, and textures to be found in the flower-cutting garden interspersed with outdoor sculpture and concrete water fountains? It is easy to start one with just some basic design and planning tips. What is a Cutting Garden? The cut flower garden is designed to be functional by the nature of its very existence. Cutting gardens first began in the 16th Century for the purpose of bringing them inside to decorate the house and this tradition continues to this very day.

A concrete fountain is a great addition to any backyard, since it can transform yard into an entirely different outdoor living space. Concrete fountains can be placed into almost any garden setting, giving your garden the theme or perhaps time period you envisioned. Concrete patios can also put a lot of charm into a small space, making it easy to create an amazing living space in even the smallest of backyards. Types of Concrete Fountains Concrete fountains come in two different types. They can either be wall fountains or standing fountains, both of which look amazing in garden settings! Wall fountains are ideal for spaces that have a wall to place them, such as a small backyard or patio area. Because concrete fountains work best when in a viewable area, having them close to a sitting area
Many backyards have large landscaped lawns, but this can be boring if there is little visual appeal added to the yard such as concrete water fountains, which are regarded as quite aesthetically pleasing. While large lawns can look amazing when well taken care of but adding something extra to them can make your lawn the talk of the entire neighborhood. One of the more popular design items you can add to your lawn design plan is a concrete water fountain – they look amazing and are for the most part, low maintenance. Lawn Shape and Concrete Water Fountains If you have a perfectly square lawn, it is best to place a standing concrete fountain directly in the middle of the grass area. This can actually make your lawn look bigger, and it won’t interfere with anything else placed in your yard

What is stamped concrete and how is it done? Stamped concrete is a finish that is imprinted or embossed into concrete while it is still in its plastic or moldable state. Patterns often resemble a natural stone texture and look, but any pattern or design can be imprinted or stamped into the soft concrete surface. This is a simple summary of how Stamped Concrete Contractor would install a typical stamped concrete finish.1. The first step is to protect all adjacent or adjoining surfaces. Plastic is often used to protect and prevent damage or discoloration caused by concrete splatter, oxide colors and other chemicals used during the process.2. Once the form work (the wall edging and outer shape of the slab) and reinforcement (often Steel Rebar) is in place the concrete is poured and placed int

Concrete is Not Just for Sidewalks Anymore!Mention concrete to many people and they think of cold, gray, concrete sidewalks or walls. Those in the business, like John Panagos, founder of Olde World Stone & Tile, describe it another way; "the unique aged-look of our concrete stone and tile is reminiscent of those found in the villas of Tuscany, the chateaus of Burgundy, and the haciendas of old Mexico" He goes on to say; "It blends as comfortably around a Florida pool, as it does a Bucks County, PA barn. Our customers are able to control the illusion of age… the color, patina, the imperfections, and most importantly... their price"Concrete stone and tile, also called cementitious stone and tile, has been around since the days of the Romans. Back then; pouring a mortar-like mixture on site formed the tiles, as with the building of the Coliseum. Today companies produce tiles in factories using various methods to achieve the different textures and styles available. A number

Basics Principles of Working With Concrete and CementMaking stronger of working with concrete and cementThe science of concrete construction has a very long history, dating back to at least ancient Rome. While reinforced concrete construction has a much shorter history, dating back only some one hundred years or so. Today there are many highly specialized and advanced techniques for making concrete.There is even a concrete canoe race held every year to apply new concrete technologies. Understanding the Different Names For Concrete and Cement: In order to understand the basic principals of any technology, it is important to understand the terminology. Cement and concrete are two different things, yet many times these terms are used interchangeably. Cement is a powder, and the "glue" that is the central ingredient of concrete. Cement mixed with water, is referred to as stucco for exterior use, yet, is called plaster for interior use. It can also be used to construct swimming pools. A wet
Victoria Beckham insists she can sing. Thank God she didn’t say (again) that her breasts are also the real thing! Yes, well, we all have our little obsessions in this life, you know, those little narcissistic secrets we like to keep to ourselves. Like, for example, I have a friend who thinks she can dance better than Chris Brown and J.Lo on a good day… put together! The trick is – he can’t actually dance. At all. But as long as keeps this little piece of information to himself and doesn’t want to show it off for the ladies, it’s all great.
The same is valid for Posh Spice. We all know she hasn’t got a voice, like, at all – otherwise, I can’t explain why instead of her own solo singing spot during the Spice Girls’ reunion tour she strutted her tush on a makeshift catwalk instead of… well, singing. Victoria, however, disagrees. "I’m no Mariah Carey, but I can sing" she says. "It became very obvio

Concrete Hermit is currently hosting a show for artist Anthony Burrill at its London gallery which, judging by the photos I see, does just great. To accompany the show Concrete Hermit also produced two brand new shirts designed by the artist himself. The new designs, "A.B. Mouth" and "A.B. Arrow", are limited edition of 100 shirts each and come in a hand stenciled numbered box. I kind of liked the "A.B.

I got a newsletter from Concrete Hermit about their new t-shirt designs and I'm loving them! Three of them are in the artists series and are the ones I liked the most. The three artists behind the new designs are Dan Has Potential with "Onion Head", JuJu's Delivery with "Pow Pow", and Will Ainley with "Teenage Rock Monster", which is my personal pick (after strong debate). Even though I don't agree that the Teenage Rock Monster inside us all looks like that, I have to admit it's a funny and very cool Rock Monster! Hehehe...

Reinforced concrete design theory & examples The third edition of this popular textbook has been extensively rewritten and expanded to conform to the latest versions of BS8110 and EC2. It sets out design theory for concrete elements and structures, and illustrates practical applications of the theory. Reinforced Concrete includes more than 60 clearly worked out design examples and over 600 diagrams, plans and charts. Background to the British Standard and Eurocode are given to explain the "why" as well as the "how," and differences between the codes are highlighted. New chapters on prestressed concrete and water retaining structures are included in this edition, and the most commonly encountered design problems in structural concrete are covered. Additional worked examples are available on an associated website at www.sponpress.com/civeng/support.htm.

I'm sure that The Railwayman will correct me if wrong, but wasn't this where the original "arch" entrance to Crewe Works once stood?
