Decorative Interior Concrete Floors Using Paint, Coatings, and Acid Staining
Concrete is usually the perfect option for garage or patio flooring, but what about you home's interior? Basements aren't the only place for concrete floors anymore. Concrete floor paint is a popular method of changing the appearance of your concrete into an integrated part of your home. You can apply dyes directly to your concrete mixture or paint the hardened surface of your cement floor to alter the color of your home interior concrete floor. Concrete floor stains can be used but most often are used in moisture prone areas of your home as in the basement or bathroom areas. A concrete sealant may also be used in some areas, but check for harmful fumes or gases that may be released. Concrete floor stamping and finishes provide an elegant beauty similar to tile floors yet much more durable. Polished concrete floors are a great alternative to glossy stone tiles but you may want to research how to polish your concrete floor or have a specialty contractor smooth and polish your floor for you. Heating your concrete floor is a concern as this type of flooring tends to stay about 68 degrees year round. This can help regulate energy costs in heating and cooling your home, but tends to be cool on your feet, so you may want to consider a concrete floor warming system or place some throw rugs in areas you traffic. Overall, concrete floors provide a healthy, durable, and cost effective choice for indoor flooring. Visit the links below for examples, products, and contractors that can design and install the concrete floor of your dreams.
