CONCRETE FLOORS THAT LOOK GOOD AND LAST LONG

Things to Do to Give Your Concrete Substrates a Better Look

Let’s make it look good

Concrete Polishing

If you want a satiny sheen, you can have it.

Or, if you prefer high-gloss, you can have that too.

The way polished concrete is catching on as a floor material, it might actually dethrone marble or granite as the number one luxurious flooring material.

Concrete Staining Concrete stainin

g is a time-tested way of giving some color to the dull grayness that is synonymous with concrete.

The liquid mixture will penetrate the concrete because of its piousness, and it will react causing a permanent change of color in the concrete.

Crack Repairs

When repairing concrete cracks, the professionals use materials that both fill out the existing crack and hold its sides to prevent the crack from spreading further:

Engraving Concrete

Decorative Overlays

Decorative Overlays

Concrete overlays are usually made out of cement, aggregates, and resins, and they are very effective in smoothing out the surface of the concrete. Some overlays can be further customized by staining or dying, but they can be stamped with patterns or stencils to make some really amazing effects.

Engraving Concrete

You might not be able to engrave your portrait in concrete, but interesting circular patterns are a possibility. For best effect, engraving should be coupled with staining.

Let’s Make it Last Long

Because you have new, prettied-up concrete floors, you will naturally want to keep it that way as long as possible.

So here’s a five-point checklist of things you need to do for damage control:

1. Monitoring

Make sure you look for cracks once in a while.

2. Cleaning

Clean any debris or materials that gather on a concrete surface.

3. Waterproofing

If you haven’t already, waterproof your concrete regularly.

4. Professional Checkups

Have a professional perform a regular checkup of any concrete structures or surfaces.

5. Remove Hazards

Leaky faucets can cause damage to concrete surfaces
