Concrete and Pavers

If you are considering replacing or adding a walkway, patio to your outdoor living area or swimming pool, you may become confused over the large number choices you have. It can add a lot of unwanted stress and anxiety on top of what you have in mind. It can be confusing sometimes, but you need to look at the details on what to choose from.



Some paving materials are more cost-effective than others, and certain types are more durable and
easier to maintain. The most commonly used paving materials today are concrete slabs and paving
stones. Each option can provide different advantages depending on your needs and what you want.
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages though.
Poured concrete slabs are often used for outdoor residential spaces due to their cost and relative ease
of installation. With the development of stamped concrete, homeowners also have options as far as
designs and textures are concerned.
Paving stones or brick pavers are individual sections made from various materials like natural stone,
concrete or brick. Many of these pieces interlock, which makes for a flexible system that is extremely
durable. Upkeep and cost pretty much go hand in hand. So, it’s rather difficult to discuss one and not
the other. And sometimes that can be the deciding factor in most purchase decisions.
Beautifying your outdoor space in an affordable and attractive way definitely requires some careful
deliberation. When considering whether to go with stamped concrete or pavers, it’s important to keep
the above mentioned factors in mind when stacking up your decision as both provide excellent choices
that should last for a lifetime of enjoyment.

About Aluminum Fabrication

Most of us know that aluminum is often strong enough to replace steel and light enough to use as cooking foil. Yet aluminum was once thought as more valuable than gold. What has changed? Why is one of the world’s rarest metals now used in more quantities than any metal except iron?
Today, aluminum fabricators use aluminum alloys to create parts for airplanes and automobiles, construction materials, commercial goods and much more. But these uses of aluminum are relatively new. Only in the last one-hundred years has the metal been used in mass production. This can be attributed to the Hall-Heroult process for extracting aluminum, patented in 1886. This electrolytic process uses large amounts of electricity to extract aluminum metal from aluminum oxide.
The electrolytic process is far more expensive than recycling, which requires only a fraction of the energy. This is one of the main reasons aluminum recycling is so useful and important. Before the extraction of aluminum was possible, the highly malleable metal was extremely rare in its free (metal) form. This process can transform aluminum to various things such as, gates, decorative ornaments, handrails, staircases and many more. Aluminum has a lot of uses. It is often used for window frames, automobile components, bicycle components, building materials such as shuttering formwork, and much more. It is even used as parts in an aircraft. The aluminum can be cut and shaped fairly easily, making it a versatile material for construction purposes. Aluminum does not conduct heat as well as other metals, which can be advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on the application. 
Fabri-Tech, for over 50 years of service, offers customized design aluminum fabrication of railings, staircases, canopies, decorative ornamental home and business features. We also accept welding projects either for repair or enhancement of your house and commercial establishment.  Anything about aluminum, you can count on us.
