The brainchild of owner Leroy Brown, Concrete By Design, or CBD, is a company borne out of creative inspiration and the burgeoning popularity of decorative concrete. In the last few decades decorative concrete has gained quite a following in the design and construction spheres, for use in both commercial and residential areas, and as both an external and interior feature. Keeping true to the creat
ivity of his culinary background (Brown graduated from The Culinary institute Of America in New York), he was drawn to a new way of creating art – this time not confined to the kitchen. Following lengthy research, trials and training, and much personal practice, it became apparent that decorative concrete is where his true talents lay. As an art form, decorative concrete is not only durable but versatile, its applications in the world of home design therefore obvious and varied. As Brown explains:
"… the best way to explain it is this: concrete is not what it used to be. With extensive research and new product lines, it has become like an artists’ canvas. We now have the ability to make it look like just about anything. Additionally, it isn’t just used for your driveway or back patio; it is now a beautiful feature inside homes and businesses"
Decorative concrete is receiving such rave reviews largely due to the fact that it can be so highly customized. If a client would like a particular flooring but their budget does not extend to that, decorative concrete or stamped concrete can often achieve the look for a fraction of the price. Even better, old and worn concrete can be completely revamped into a new surface, meaning you don’t have the price and hassle involved with removing it to put down a new material.
