Over a Table of Coffee

Conversations happen over cups of coffee. We all know that. How about over a table of coffee? Imagine having a conversation not only over a table of coffee, but about the table itself.

Decorative concrete is all about adding beauty and appeal to the structure while still retaining its function as a part of the building. Types of decorative concrete are obtained through various processes that are also given away by their respective names. They include stamped concrete, acid stains, coloured concrete, dyed concrete, polished concrete and more. Micro cement toppings are used to create a canvas for decorative treatments such as stain, dyes, textures and stencilled patterns, and acid staining is used to create earth toned colours on the concrete surface. Both can be used indoors and outdoors, and for homes and offices alike. While the micro cement provides unlimited design possibi
