Decorative Concrete to Change the Face of Buildings in the GCC

Thousands of industry professionals attended the 'Deco-concrete Day' at Middle East Concrete (MEC) and PMV Live 2016, discovering how decorative concrete can be used in commercial and industrial application, turning dreary floors and walls into works of art. The 'Deco-Concrete Day' at Middle East Concrete 2016 included demonstrations of the concrete stamping techniques in the Decorative Concrete Zone along with a series of illuminating workshops on the subject. Visitors were treated to a masterful show on how concrete is beautified and used for decoration and function. Some of the unique pieces being stamped at the event included pattern work, polished concrete and exposed aggregate, stamp work with decorative stones and patterns, polished concrete, stained concrete and metallic floors. James Meltz, MEC and PMV Live Event Director said: "With the GCC governments looking to spend USD100 billion over the next three years, growth in this sector will result in the growth of the cement market during this period. Decorative concrete can add a touch of style, glamour and color to the concrete used in a number of these projects. It is also low maintenance and requires minimum cleaning. Moreover, any color or texture can be added to concrete, and this can literally change the face of buildings in the GCC in the future." The Decorative Concrete Zone at MEC & PMV Live has proved to be a firm favorite with our visitors adding a touch of fun to their time at the show."
