While flooring can become quite expensive, you generally do not consider concrete laid down in rooms to make them stand out. However, when the concrete is specially designed, it can take on a whole new look and feel. With polished and stained concrete, the floors can take on any appearance that you’re searching for - marble, stone, granite, tiles and so many others.
The best part of stained concrete is the fact that it is completely affordable to any budget. You can have a beautiful floor, but you do not have to spend your entire life savings to do so.
The Unique Appearances of Polished Concrete
Through polished concrete, you can accomplish the look and feel of a floor you’ve always wanted, but without the high price. Not only that, but the flooring is able to last a much longer time than if you were to go with another flooring option.
Once the concrete is spread onto the floor, it is then dried completely. This allows it to harden so the stain glaze can easily be spread over the top of the concrete without mixing together. Once the stain is laid down, the stained concrete is then left to sit and dry. This is to ensure that the layers do not overlap or mix with one another.
Once both layers are laid down and dried, the polish which seals the concrete floor is laid over the top layers. This holds in the look and feel of the stain, while also ensuring that it lasts for some time. Without the sealant on the polished floor, it would also be much harder to clean if something is spilled on it. The sealant is one of the most important parts of having polished concrete.
The look and feel that you choose to go with depends on your unique tastes. You can let the professional know what type of look you’re trying to achieve and then go from there when it comes to creating the look from the polish and stain combination going on the concrete floor.
