Concrete floors are the ultimate blank canvas. Nearly every level in a home, office or other building begins as a simple concrete surface. Concrete is the perfect material for construction because it is cost-effective, durable, and can fit any specifications. Once laid, a concrete floor can become anything you want it to be. It may seem like a boring, dull finish, but Hard Rock Concrete Coatings knows how you can make your concrete floor something to notice.
There are nearly unlimited options for transforming a concrete floor, but today we’ll share the most popular and effective things you can do with a plain concrete floor.
Grind And Seal Concrete Floor
Concrete is a porous material, which means that even though it is durable and long-lasting, it is still susceptible to staining and damage. Sealing your concrete is a great way not only to preserve it but also to give it a more finished look. You can find concrete sealant in a variety of finishes and thicknesses. A glossy finish is popular in industrial spaces and can make an excellent backdrop for a modern office, basement, or outdoor area.
Epoxy Flooring Utah
Epoxy coatings are very popular for garages and showrooms but can be found in any space. These coatings require multiple application steps — usually a base color and then the iconic “speckle” in colors of your choosing. The epoxy coating can provide better traction, oil & fluid resistance, glossy or matte finish, and the illusion of more light and space.
Acid Staining
One of the least known but most interesting ways to use a concrete floor is to stain it. Acid staining gives a more natural, weathered look. Some colors and finishes provide the look and feel of wood, which provides warmth that is not often associated with concrete. Acid-stained concrete can be given a marbled effect, making for a show-stopping entrance or large-scale floor.
Concrete Repair & Resurface
If your concrete floor has seen better days, it doesn’t mean it’s a lost cause. Hard Rock Concrete Coatings is made up of experts who can repair, resurface, or polish an older concrete floor to make it look brand new. Repair and resurfacing are great choices for older homes, driveways, or outdoor concrete subject to weather damage.
Concrete Stamping
If you’re pouring new concrete for a basement, back patio, or office space, you might consider stamping it for a unique look. Stamping must be done on wet or resurfaced concrete. A variety of patterns and grids can be used to create the desired effect. Mosaic-style tiles are a popular choice and can make an affordable surface like the concrete look much more custom and design.
