Applications
Where Shellcrete goes in Florida homes
Pool Decks
A pool deck is judged barefoot, in August, by somebody who has just climbed out of the water
Driveways
A driveway is the largest single expanse of hard surface on most properties and the first thing anybody sees
Patios & Walkways
Patios and walkways are where one property usually needs two different surfaces, and where most jobs get it wrong by choosing one. A terrace that holds a table wants to be flat — flat enough to set a chair on without it rocking and slide it back without it catching
Outdoor Kitchens
An outdoor kitchen puts three things on a floor that a patio never does: grease, dropped ice, and the radiant heat of a grill running for an hour in already-hot air. The floor under one has to take all of that and still be the same surface as the deck it opens onto, because a change of material at the threshold is where an outdoor room stops reading as a room
Resorts & Commercial
At commercial scale the specification barely changes and the maintenance interval changes completely
Lanais & Balconies
A lanai is the room a Florida house is actually lived in, and it is the one surface that has to work as a floor and as an outdoor deck at the same time — barefoot from the pool on one side, dining chairs and a dog on the other, and the interior floor visible through the sliders the whole way. Under a roof the sun is not the problem it is on a pool deck
Entry Steps
Steps are the one place a surface gets judged by feet alone
