Want to stand out from the crowd with a truly unique style of concrete?
What is Glowcrete? Glow in the Dark Concrete
If you want a fresh and unique look for your new concrete work, we have an exciting product to offer you: Glowcrete. This innovative style of decorative concrete is a true show stopper because it actually glows in the dark.
Imagine the beauty that would await you, as well as your family and friends, when you go outside to enjoy a warm Western Australian evening and discover your outdoor space is glimmering from our Glowcrete stones.
Accenting your landscape, alfresco areas, or pool surround has never been easier. The glow in the dark fragments come in a range of colours and sizes. Once you choose the colour of the glow stones for concrete finish, our experts blend them into an exposed aggregate of your choosing.
Because Glowcrete is customisable, we can add a smaller amount for a subtle glow in the dark concrete work, or we can add more for a dramatic presentation. We can also mix sections of traditional concrete with sections of Glowcrete for a striking contrast.
Ideal for a Range of Applications
We can put your glow in the dark concrete any place we would install traditional concrete.
The areas where we use Glowcrete most often include patios, pool surrounds, alfresco dining areas, and driveways. Pathways and stairs benefit from the glowing material because it draws attention to otherwise dark areas.
The use of this surface is not limited to outdoor areas, although that is the most popular place to use the product. You can request Glowcrete for indoor projects as well. The results may be slightly less dramatic, depending on the lighting of the installation area.
Aside from its distinct beauty, glow in the dark concrete has other advantages:
- Highly durable
- Low maintenance
- Cost effective
- Can be polished
- Enhances night time safety by lighting pathways
- Glows for 12 hours
- Relies on solar power, so no energy is required
Once you and our design team finalise the plans, our team of concreting professionals will install your Glowcrete quickly. It requires no extra preparation and takes no longer than installing any other concrete product. You will be able to enjoy your new Glowcrete for many years to come.
