Heavy Boy Concrete Coffee Table - a modern minimalistic rectangular coffee table with wheels - made in Canada

Introducing the Heavy Boy Concrete Coffee Table.  A minimalistic, rectangle concrete coffee table with industrial wheels at the base, a natural finish and a surface smoother than a baby's bottom. Run your hands over it just once, we dare you...  We always hand-hone our concrete to an incredibly smooth glass like feel.  These coffee tables are cool, bold and contemporary, and as you’d expect, hold up against wear and tear very well.  

Totally suited for residential, commercial or hospitality settings.  All of our concrete furniture is stain resistant because of the sealers and waxes we apply to the surface. MODE CONCRETE has taken the raw beauty of concrete and fused it together with a unique blend of modern furniture designs. Concrete is the material coveted by discerning clients wanting a high-end product and world-renowned designers and architects. 

Concrete provides the ideal outdoor furniture solution since it's very durable and can easily cope with outdoor elements (especially in Canada!).  Concrete is heavy so it's ideal in high wind zone areas and coastal zones.  Our clients have chosen concrete furniture due to their low maintenance and resilience to all conditions.  They complement a wide range of indoor or outdoor environments and are an ideal choice for the architecturally aware and style savvy clients.

Design is the core of MODE. Whether it’s collaborating with new emerging and renowned designers to bring one-of-a-kind concrete ideas to life, or offering our custom design services to clients, MODE does it in style. We understand the process from concept to production, and can deliver a full range of services. From expert consultations, to digital design, fabrication and prototyping - we offer a multitude of services to our clients. MODE CONCRETE creates unparalleled, high-end concrete products and surfaces for clients, using only the highest quality artisans and materials available on the market.

How do you decide which contractor to hire?

This is such a great concern for all home and business owners.  How can you be sure you are getting what you pay for and will be happy with the end results?  Here are some tips on how to weed out the good contractors from the good salesmen.

Tips on choosing a contractor

• How do you know what their quality of work is, before hiring them? No matter how large or small project is, if you want a high quality outcome make sure your contractor is constantly educating themselves. Your contractor should use the most current techniques and best quality products available on the market.  The level of experience and product knowledge in your contractor is crucial in determining the life and quality of the workmanship you pay for. 
• How to decide which contractor is best for me? We suggest meeting with potential contractors and interviewing them, test out their product knowledgeable, experience, see their portfolio, check reviews, referrals and talk to your friends about local experiences.  After a few meetings, you should be able to differentiate between the fly-by-night jack-of-all-trades, and the reputable quality contractor that brings the most knowledge and experience to your project.  
• Why are all the estimates different and how do I know which one to choose? You usually get what you pay for, and getting the best deal or accepting the cheapest estimate, will probably not get you the best results or greatest longevity of the product. The difference in cost could be quality of materials, quality of workmanship, level of experience and could dictate your general level of satisfaction for years to come.

Another tip... you should look for a contractor or business owner that is involved in the entire process of your project.  This ensures you are getting the most experienced contractor or craftsmanship possible for your investment in the agreed upon price.  

The company owner of MODE CONCRETE, Gareth Tyrrell personally consults with our customers on every job and works on every project to make sure the highest level of quality is produced (that's him in the picture below, look at how super eager he is!). Gareth has a keen eye for the lay out of projects, is an experienced concrete expert and can easily outline available options to fit within your style and budget.

Add Excitement to a Beautiful Fireplace with a Concrete Hearth

Concrete has become the new material of choice for designers around the world.  Custom concrete is leading the way in design, innovation, longevity and style.  If you are looking to add some style to your home, office or exterior living space, concrete can add a punch of personality to any space.  From hearths to furniture, concrete is the perfect solution for many people.

Inside or outside, the strength of concrete easily stands up to weather and the intense heat of fire. All custom concrete hearths and fireplace mantles are sealed with top quality sealers which protects against staining and porosity.

The best thing we have noticed about concrete around a fire feature is that it embraces the heat, ash, wood, and gains character over time.  With concrete we embrace the freckles, veins and imperfections that naturally occur as the concrete ages.  It is totally raw, one-of-a-kind, incredibly strong, hand cast, hand honed, and 100% customizable.  If you want to use the best and most innovative decorative concrete contractors in the Okanagan, call us today for a free estimate.

Concrete Patios, Driveways and Floors - created by the MODE CONCRETE experts

This broom finished concrete patio slab, is a project that we recently completed for a client in Lake Country. 

 MODE CONCRETE can help you redo or construct your concrete slab, patio, or pool deck.

MODE CONCRETE SERVICES INCLUDE

Exposed Aggregate: 

Exposed aggregate concrete has a concrete finish, then pressure cleaned to expose the stone at the surface. Great for driveways, entertainment areas and footpaths. 

Stamped, Coloured and Stained Effects:

Stamped concrete, commonly referred to as patterned concrete or imprinted concrete is designed to resemble brick, slate, flagstone, stone, tile and even wood. Stamped concrete can be used for pool decks, driveways, entries, courtyards, and patios. 

Concrete can assume nearly any shape, design, pattern or texture, one of its most distinguishing features of decorative concrete is colour and sheen, whether used subtly to blend with nature or boldly to make a dramatic design statement.  

Acid Staining concrete is a popular application for transforming concrete slabs. Unique outcomes can be achieved by combining colours and application techniques on cement flooring.

Sidewalks 

Concrete walkways or sidewalks can provide curb appeal to homes and buildings, and are becoming a point of artistic expression by way of a multitude of decorative concrete options. Plain gray concrete is still the most common surface installed; however, we can personalize anything to match your house or personal style. 

Driveways

Deciding on driveway material is easy: asphalt or concrete. Concrete choices have expanded to include an array of decorative options. Decorative concrete is one of the most reasonable ways to spruce up the entrance to your home.  Although plain gray concrete is still installed most often, more people are catching on to the alluring effects possible with decorative concrete - especially acid staining (our favorite)!

Patios and Floors

Outdoor patios and floors, concrete pool decks, a coloured, textured and inviting area, a safe, slip-resistant deck can be designed for you.  Our decorative specialist can help give as much detail and attention to your patios and floors as the interior design of your home.  

Decorative concrete has allowed home owners to create exteriors that can complement their homes, bond with the outdoor environment, and imitate traditionally expensive materials such as slate, stone or even wood - endless options for your space!

There are many variations of concrete slabs depending on the purpose of the slab.

Residential, Commercial and Industrial

Acid Staining and Sealing Concrete

We specialize in acid staining and sealing concrete surfaces.

Concrete acid staining is an exciting medium with a hidden natural beauty revealed spontaneously by reactive chemical stain. Each concrete pad will stain uniquely according to variations in surface density, texture, porosity, and composition.  Observe beautiful patterns of marbling, mottling, veining, speckling to resemble stone, leather, clouds, etc.  Our preferred method of coloring concrete, the acid stain penetrates and becomes integral to the concrete, so it will never fade or peel. We have many great dyes and pigment options available.  Acid staining is great for driveways, patios, concrete floors (garage, basement), concrete slabs or anything concrete.  We can also etch a pattern into the concrete - endless design options!

MODE CONCRETE can apply a wide range of concrete sealers.  Concrete walls, driveways, patios, sidewalks, floors, any concrete surface.  Different sheens available (matte or glossy), protects your concrete, and adds years of life to your concrete.
