Outdoor Carpeting

Covering concrete

Outdoor carpet is a practical concrete covering, offering comfort, a superior slip-resistant surface and aesthetic benefits.  Outdoor carpet on properly sealed, good quality concrete should not contribute to the deterioration of outdoor concrete balconies. 

The key factors influencing accelerated concrete deterioration include the type of sand used in the concrete mix, the quality of the concrete, and the depth of the rebar beneath the concrete surface.  Proper use of a high-quality concrete sealer can help maintain concrete balconies and should be applied to all exposed concrete balcony surfaces.

Specialists in the field of high-rise balcony repairs indicate that carpet is a very good floor covering, providing that the concrete meets accepted quality standards set forth by the American Concrete Institute and has been properly sealed.
