Concrete
WELCOME TO CHARGERS WORLD OF ARCHITECTURAL CONCRETE FLAT-WORK!
What is architectural concrete? It is concrete that not only is
designed for function, but for appearance and durability as well. To be created to an
architects design requires more than just the work of trained workers! It requires
the skill of experienced artisans .
UNDERSTANDING DESIGN CONCEPTS
At Charger Enterprises, we understand what the architect or
landscape engineer visualizes as the finished, total project. Anyone can buy some tools
and play around with brooms, but to understand how smooth and rough surfaces can interact
to create style is the concept of architectural concrete work.

Working with a variety of tools we can create picture frames using
edging tools, bricks or tile. We can use salt, exposed aggregate, brooms and color to
create some very pleasing effects. Herringbone textures, water courses and planters are
all part of our arsenal of effects. Whatever an architect can think of within the work
ability of concrete we can turn into reality! Whether it is a courtyard, a roadway,
concrete trails or an entrance, we can make it look outstanding!
Often
Architectural Specifications require base material and Concrete mix
certification. They also may include placement and curing specifications or
post placement treatments. We are right at home with these requirements. And
we take pride in our hands-on supervision

| Architectural Concrete includes colors, stamped designs and another
of our specialities, exposed aggregate. Exposed aggregate is an art. It
involves removing some of the cement paste from the surface, before the
curing is completed. Timing is essential. If done too late, the aggregate
will not show well. If it is done too soon, too much cement paste will be
removed and the aggregate will eventually become loose. One of our
specialties seen below is exposed shell.
