Concrete surfaces play a central role in facilities, from creating a first impression for visitors to providing safe, reliable surfaces for walking to and around buildings, according to an article from Facilities Maintenance Decisions on the FacilitiesNet website.

“Managers today have more choices than they ever have,” says Johnnie Elliot with Rustoleum. “It doesn’t matter if they are looking for a protective finish or a decorative finish, metallics or stains.
