400+ Heavy-Duty Concrete Textures Fit for Backgrounds and Images
Almost everyone can agree: a smooth, concrete surface can be surprisingly pleasing to the eye. And it suits many tastes, too. Nowadays, many modern homes, offices, and buildings feature it in its rough, unpainted form. If you’re looking for a masculine or industrial vibe, then a good concrete finish could be the answer.
But what is it about this building material that exudes such dependability, durability, and strength?
The Aesthetics of Concrete
Precursors to ‘concrete’ have been around for a long, long time. There is evidence that ancient Romans used it as far back as 6500 BC. Instead of gravel, sand, crushed rock, and chemicals, our ancestors utilized limestone, volcanic sand, straw, and water.
The concrete that we know today wouldn’t be invented until the 19th century. It was English cement manufacturer, Joseph Aspdin, who got the mixture right. What he ended up with is what we know now as Portland cement, which is mixed with other aggregates (fine particles of crushed rock, gravel, and sand) to form concrete.
Despite its hardiness, it would take several more years before homes and roads could be made from concrete. That’s because people didn’t think it was so aesthetically pleasing during that time. Nowadays, this building material is a favorite among designers, architects, and artists.
Heavy-Duty Concrete Textures
Concrete isn’t just solid, strong, and versatile. It can provide an interesting artistic statement, or even be a visual backdrop to a centerpiece (e.g. fireplaces, bookcases, staircase, pillars, etc.).
Exposed concrete is nothing to worry about. It can withstand the elements, while giving you a robust, low maintenance finish. This makes it an ideal material for patios, walkways, and driveways.
