Two Minnesota construction firms specializing in concrete for residential interiors are winners in the Cemstone 2007 Decorative Concrete Awards.
The Grand Prize winner was Foley Construction of Le Sueur, Minnesota, for a project featuring kitchen countertops made with recycled crushed glass to create interesting color patterns. The judges said, “The hip and stylish countertops are well executed. Nice material re-use of the crushed glass to provide interesting color patterns.”
The First Prize winner was Allstate Decorative Concrete of Cokato, Minnesota, for a colored basement floor featuring a highly detailed coat of arms. The judges said, “This creative and whimsical use of colored concrete provides a rich, warm depth to the first floor basement.”
Cemstone, a supplier of ready-mixed, engineered and decorative concrete in the Upper Midwest, sponsors the award to recognize excellence in the design and use of decorative concrete in residential and commercial construction. The winners were selected from nearly 70 contractor entries that featured Cemstone-supplied colored, stamped and/or stained concrete.
