If you want beautiful paving that looks natural like stone but has the strength of concrete, you could consider liquid limestone. Standard concrete is made from cement, additives, and aggregates such as sand and gravel. Liquid limestone is quite similar. But it starts with white rather than grey cement. And it uses crushed limestone in place of gravel. Here are some benefits of this paving for a home.
Design Options
Liquid limestone offers a variety of colours for you to choose from. Limestone comes in shades of pink, beige, brown and grey that give the paving colour when crushed. So you can opt for greys or warm tans and blush tones.
An advantage that liquid limestone has over stone pavers is that it forms a seamless surface, with the cement mixture being poured in place rather than laid in separate pieces. Thus, liquid limestone looks sleek and uncluttered. But you can also install this limestone paving with patterns. Contractors can saw-cut squares or diamonds to give the impression of pavers if you wish. With all these customisation options, liquid limestone suits varied styles such as modern, rustic and Mediterranean homes.
Cool
Limestone concrete gives a classic look to pool decks. One of its advantages is that it stays cooler than standard concrete under the sun. Regardless of how hot it is outside, you can walk on the limestone paving with bare feet and won't get your feet scorched. Cooler paving will also keep your backyard fresher since it won't radiate heat into the air. This allows you to install liquid limestone on a patio and lay on a lounge without heat emanating from the ground underneath you. Your pets will also be more comfortable walking on a cooler surface that is kinder to delicate paws.
Durable and Low Maintenance
Like standard concrete, liquid limestone is tough and durable and doesn't require complicated upkeep routines. It withstands diverse outdoor conditions. It can be used on driveways and carry heavy vehicles with ease. Concrete services can create control joints in the paving so that potential cracks will tend to follow those lines and be less noticeable.
Make sure to seal the paving as recommended. And get advice on cleaning routines. Your contractors may recommend a light pressure wash to clean the surface and give suggestions on how to rid it of any mould that may develop in shady spots in the garden.
