Decorative Concrete in St. Louis

June 18, 2010 - PRLog -- "A homeowner can now have the look of natural stone or brick on that driveway or porch and still have enough money left over to enjoy it", says Nick Behnen, owner of Gateway Elite Crete, a company that specializes in decorative concrete products in St. Louis, MO. Elite Crete Systems is the leading manufacturer in decorative concrete products. This material is being looked at in so many different ways. Not only are we getting calls from general contractors, but now we are getting many calls from homeowners, architects and designers asking us to consult on new design possibilities. It is an exciting time to be a distributor in this business.

"Developers and Builders of large commercial projects have long taken advantage of the beauty and flexibility of Decorative Concrete. To these budget-conscious profesionals, it is seen as a perfect alternative to traditional masonry due to savings on material cost, installation time and overall maintenance. Anyone who has ever been to Disney World, Six Flags or Las Vegas has probably walked all over those cobblestone streets, slate and brick sidewalks, never realizing it was actually concrete, says Nick Behnen. Unfortunately, people in our area have been slow to pick up on these advances. Decorative Concrete can be stronger and more chemical resistant than ordinary concrete with a higher cement content, surface hardeners and protective sealers. With time-tested materials and apllications around the world, there is no reason why a proffesionally installed job here should not last as long as it would in any other climate."
