When you mix high dosage levels of macro fibers in concrete, one of challenges is to achieve a good blending between concrete and fiber.

How High Dosage Levels of Macro Fibers Are Improving Concrete Slabs

Slab-on-grade floor and pavement panels shrink less and have almost no curl.

Scaling, above, and premature surface wear typically occur when contractors mix bleedwater into the surface or trap bleedwater and air directly beneath the surface.

Avoid Surface Defects on Exterior Slabs

The proper finishing techniques will help you avoid defects like premature wear, scaling, mortar flaking and plastic-shrinkage cracking.

Restraightening will cut down high spots and fill low spots; it can increase FF numbers from about 30 to 50 percent.

How to Finish Flatter Concrete Floors

Proper concrete finishing tools and techniques will help you increase your FF numbers so that placing very flat and super flat floors becomes routine

Sundeck of San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas won the WOW! Award, best overall project, for Mission Concepcion Park, also in San Antonio. The surface needed to be durable enough to hold up under significant bike and foot traffic. The acid stain was applied first, followed by months of using a needle scaler to remove the surface of the concrete. The beautiful transformation to stained and exposed concrete pavement presents a wonderful contrast between liquid nature and solid infrastructure.

Diamond Polishing Pads for Concrete Countertops

Confused by the many diamond polishing pads marketed for concrete countertops? Learn what's important to ensure a high quality finish on concrete with a long-lasting pad. You don't want pads designed for granite, and you don't want pads chosen only because they earn a high profit margin for the seller. You need tightly graded diamonds, the correct binder that won't glaze, the right thickness to ensure both long life and flexibility, and the best channel design to avoid clogging. See how all of these features combine to create the ideal 5" diamond pad for polishing concrete countertops, designed and tested by Jeff Girard.
