Green means different things to different people. No matter which of those people you
are hopefully it means some kind of conscious decision to make the resources you have
go as far as they can.
Concrete is one of those products that has the ability to be transformed into many useful
things from the mundane to the extraordinary. When concrete is chosen as a building
product it supports the meaning of green. Concrete is not a product that is quarried in
Italy, shipped to China, polished then shipped out to the USA to be installed.
Concrete supports our local economy. Just as a farmers market sustains our local produce
industries, the same is true for custom concrete creations. The majority of the materials are
obtained locally and fabricated locally. While employing local craftsman and artisan the
local network is used and the resources to obtain your new concrete element (your money)
also stays more local, supporting the communities we all live in.
Here at SurfaceWorks we are always looking for new ways to make use of discarded
materials such as used glass bottles that can be crushed and used to replace some of
the aggregate in the concrete mix then polished to produce a beautiful and unique look.
Truly the imagination is the only limit to the materials and things that can be done with
concrete, let us help you bring your ideas to life.
