Kerbs are significant elements in your commercial property. They are landscaping features that can make your commercial space more aesthetically appealing to your clients. You can also use your kerbs as speed bumps to slow down vehicles or as barriers especially along pavements to keep vehicles away from the pedestrians. There's a wide range of material options for commercial kerbing such as natural stone, brick, asphalt and concrete. Concrete is usually among the most preferred options due to the strength and longevity of the material.
If you choose concrete kerbing, you'll need to decide whether to use precast concrete or have it cast on-site. Here's why the former could be a better option.
Precast Concrete Kerbs Will Save You a Lot of Construction Time
Want a quicker solution to impress your potential clients with mower kerbs around your flowerbeds and gardens? Consider precast concrete kerbs. There's no curing time needed with this solution, which reduces project timelines significantly. The short project duration that comes with precast concrete kerbs also means that disruptions to your commercial activities will be minimal, which is important if you want to keep your business running.
Precast Concrete Kerbs Can Be Cost-Effective
The simplified installation process that comes with precast concrete kerbs not only reduces time but also increases productivity, safety and quality. Less labour is also required when using precast concrete kerbs. All of these aspects reduce overall project costs.
Precast Concrete Kerbs Tend to Have Better Performance
Precast concrete kerbs have higher resilience compared to their on-site counterparts. That's because precast concrete kerbs are usually manufactured in controlled environments. These environments ensure the concrete cures under optimal conditions, resulting in highly resilient materials.
Precast Concrete Kerbs Offer a Great Deal of Design Options
If you're concerned about how your concrete kerbs will affect the landscaping and overall kerb appeal of your commercial space, precast concrete kerbs would be the ideal solution. That's because of the versatility in the designs that can be achieved with these forms of concrete kerbs. The ability to manufacture precast concrete kerbs in off-site factories makes it easy to customise them into a wide range of shapes, sizes, colours and finishes. You can even ask the manufacturer to mix the concrete with other materials such as natural stone for a more appealing look. Keep in mind, however, that in most cases, customised options will often cost you more, which would be a concern if you are on a tight budget.
