Concrete has long been used in the construction business because of its durability, and also its ease of use. What most people don't realize is just how many needs in the garden that concrete products can fill.
Worse still-many people see concrete only as a dull and lifeless looking gray material. This couldn't be further from the truth, with a large variety of colored stains that can be applied to the concrete before it is sealed, not to mention the paints that can give deep or bright colors. This can provide a number of warm and beautiful finishes that are as natural, or modern as you wish. So what can be made from molded concrete?
A footpath can be constructed from rough, pre-cast concrete slabs but these generally are a little dull. A more interesting design can be crafted using molded concrete, with any number of patterns or shapes.
Stepping stones are an interesting alternative to the traditional path. When made from uneven stone, a good and usable result can be hard to achieve. Using molded concrete stones instead provides a reliable result that can be stained to look like natural stone, whilst still allowing for an even and walkable finish.
A bird bath may be a beautiful addition to a garden, bringing pleasure to any bird watcher. It too can benefit from concrete construction and our molds ensure that it is both functional and sturdy, whilst being as attractive as possible. A concrete bird bath may last you for many years.
Lawn edging is commonly use to prevent a sculpted lawn edge from collapsing, and reduces the maintenance needed. Is it often made from plastic, which can become brittle over time and with exposure to sunlight. Made from concrete instead, it can be any color that you choose, and will outlive any plastic edging.
These features, crafted in concrete are available to both the home user and for commercial use with molds from statuarymolds.com. They are especially suited for commercial use because of their durability, with features that are not found on any other commercial mold. The supporting legs are made of metal rather than wood, making them stronger and longer lasting as they won't rot with frequent moisture exposure, and the bolts that close the mold are larger than average. Combined with wing nuts this makes them very easy to open and close.
The materials used to make these molds are second to none in quality. Using a combination of ABS plastic that is virgin-not ground down and used again-and a thick liner of Cementex latex where applicable, make these molds long lasting-ideal for commercial use.
The final consideration is the designs that we offer. Nowhere else will you find such up to date, unique designs that will help your garden or your business stand out from the crowd. This virtually eliminates the competition, since no one else will be selling what you are selling.
So whether it is for personal or for commercial use that you are choosing concrete molds, you can do no better than to look to statuarymolds.com where only the best is sold.
