Polished or Stained Concrete Can Transform a Room



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.

Unique Crete Designs provides homeowners with the ability to have the beautiful polished concrete throughout their homes. With many specific designs, stains and polishes that they provide; you can choose the look and feel of the floor that you’d like to have in your home.

Garage Transformation Step 1: The Custom Concrete Floor


scored garage  floor.JPG

Decorative Concrete for Your Garage Transformation

Your garage. Often, the garage is one of the most neglected spaces in the home. But you’ve dreamed of transforming yours into a sleek, functional workspace for as long as you can remember. Now, the weather is turning colder. The number of good days for working outdoors is dwindling. Seems like it might be the perfect time to turn the dream into reality.

What’s the best place to start? That’s easy: the floor. Most garages have poured concrete floors, and concrete is the perfect material for this project. A decorative concrete professional can affordably refinish your existing concrete floor, adding color, patterns, scoring, a custom image like a family crest, team or company logo, and finish it with a dust and stain resistant high gloss sheen. The hardest part of this process? Choosing the design. Many choose a classic black and white checkerboard pattern. Others have chosen a faux wood or stone look, with the ever popular compass rose accent for the avid explorer. We could go on, but maybe it’s better to let your imagination roam free.

The end result is always stunning. Once the floor is finished, the rest of the garage usually just springs together quickly and easily. After all, once you’ve gone from drab to fantastic, your old boring worktable and unfinished walls just won’t do.

Are you ready to finally meet that incredible workspace you’ve known in your imagination? Pick up the phone and give us a call at Unique-Crete Designs. We offer many one-of-a-kind concrete finishing solutions, concrete overlay systems and are manufacturer certified for Retroplate Concrete Polishing System and HTC Superfloor. For more ideas and information, contact  Unique-Crete Designs at 615-334-0904 today, or click HERE to get a free estimate.

7 Reasons Concrete Flooring Is Best for Your Pet

puppy on concrete.jpg                                              
Concrete, the perfect flooring for pets.                           
Are you a pet parent? If you’re like us, they’re an important part of the family. Of course, there are a few downsides, like muddy paws, occasional accidents, hidden toxicity among household items, and such. That’s why we’re so happy to find easy solutions that minimize or even eliminate those issues. Speaking of which, did you know that concrete is practically the perfect flooring choice for pets? Here’s why:

ONE
Today’s concrete flooring is typically finished with a protective sealant that not only repels dust, but also odors and pet stains as well.

TWO
An active pet can generate a high level of traffic that can wreak havoc on more traditional flooring materials. Concrete is one of the longest wearing materials available.

THREE
Those claws grow back fast! It can be hard to keep up with your pet’s toenail trimming, and the damage to traditional types of flooring can be pretty brutal. A concrete floor finished with a protective sealant is practically scratchproof!

FOUR
Their hair - it’s everywhere! Not to mention to mention the grass and mud and everything else. Another outstanding characteristic of sealed concrete flooring is the ease of cleanup. Today’s sealants are specially formulated to repel dust, which works equally well on pet dander, etc. All you need to return your floors to clean is a simple swipe with a towel, broom or mop. Voila!

FIVE
As we just mentioned, sealed concrete floors are designed to repel dust and dirt, That means it won’t collect or trap animal dander within its surface. This is good news for allergy sufferers, or
in the case of dealing with an outbreak of fleas or mites. You’re outta there!

SIX
Laminates, synthetic carpets, carpet adhesives & padding, engineered wood, flooring adhesives, and certain binders in types of tile can emit VOCs, also known as volatile organic compounds. Some people have very strong reactions to VOCs. Can you imagine how much more your pet, closer to the floor and with lesser lung capacity (especially among particular breeds) is impacted by these VOCs? Good news: concrete floors can be colored with nontoxic pigment stain, which will not release harmful VOCs into the atmosphere for you or your pet to inhale.

SEVEN
In a multi-level home, most pets spend the majority of their time on the ground level. As heat rises, ground level floors tend to be markedly cool, and uncomfortable to sit or lie on for any length of time. Radiant heating not only reduces your heating bill, it also keeps your pets cozy and comfortably warm. In fact, you may find yourself wanting to grab a blanket and stretch out on the floor yourself watching tv or for a little snuggle with your furry friends.
