Decorative Concrete Staining & Overlays can be used as a simple and inexpenisve solution to cover existing flooring problems. Other decorative options include acid staining, dyeing, smooth or texture stamping, engraving and antiquing and the creation of tiling patterns.
Decorative techniques can be applied to existing concrete and if and existing surface is unsuitable a decorative concrete overlay can be applied. All the decorative techniques are suitable for residential homes, condos, lofts, retail space and showrooms as well as offices.
The picture on the right shows a floor covered with a 2-tone pewter coloured, thin polyer modified concrete microtopping overlay. The material was hand troweled with the trowel pattern as part of the final decorative look.
The existing floor had a solid colour epoxy which covered an old factory floor. The loft owner wanted to have a polished concrete, however once the epoxy was remove we found that the existing concrete was very old and unsuitable for polishing.
The solution was to cover the existing concrete with a polymer modified concrete microtopping in a two tone pewter colour which worked with the colour tones that the owner wanted for the final floor design.
The same concrete microtoppings can be applied over existing tile floors without the need to remove the tiles, saving you money and time. The colour combinations of the materials are limitless. Many design patterns can be incorporated and the final floor pattern can even be scored to create tile like patterns.
