It’s never too early to start preparing for the spooky season, and glow in the dark concrete can be the perfect addition for your Halloween decor. At B&W Custom Concrete we now offer glow in the dark concrete services around the Buffalo area. Some of you may be wondering why you would even want to install glow in the dark concrete, but we are here to tell you everything you need to know about this unique style of concrete.
How does it work?
There is a phosphorus material similar to what is used in a glow stick which is combined with the cement that makes it glow but there is a range of options. You can have any size from sand to a ½ inch stone embedded into your cement. It can be embedded in normal and stamped concrete, so you can add even more to your stamped concrete.
Does it glow all the time?
No, our glow in the dark concrete only appears in the dark. You won’t have glowing cement all the time. The glow in the dark material, whether its sand or stone, absorbs light all throughout the day and then is ready to glow by sundown. The glow can last anywhere from 12 to up to 20 hours a day.
It’s not really like Halloween.
Glow in the dark concrete is not as Halloween as it seems. There are a lot of options of colors and styles to choose from. It is more like a subtle glow that illuminates your concrete during the night. We can embed glow in the dark materials in many of the services we provide.
Fire pits, patios, pathways, and even the bottom of your pool are all able to glow in the dark.
Fire pits
Glow in the dark concrete can illuminate your fire pit while you and your friends sit down to a fire at the end of a nice gathering. Or it can illuminate the night nicely as you watch the kids in your neighborhood move from house to house trick or treating Halloween night. The glow in the dark concrete gives you a nice amount of light in addition to the glow of your fire. Our concrete contractors in Buffalo NY can help you decide what option would light up your yard more.
Patios
Patios can be the perfect place to install glow in the dark concrete. The best time of the day to sit out on your patio is in the calmness of nighttime, but with the help of our concrete contractors in Buffalo NY, you don’t have to hassle with lighting candles or even turning on a light from your own home, your concrete can do all the work for you! Whether it is in the back or front of your yard, our glow in the dark concrete can make your experience that much more enjoyable on your patio.
Pathways
