Concrete is ugly, boring, plain, but yet a staple in the building of every home in the neighborhood. Although there are alternative surfaces outdoor; more than likely your garage is concrete, your driveway is concrete, your patio is concrete, your basement is concrete, and your pool deck is concrete. With so much concrete, how does a homeowner simply boost the beauty of this boring, ugly concrete to make their home more appealing in their eyes? Here are 5 shiny concrete floor every homeowner needs to consider for existing concrete at their home. Not only can Premier enhance the aesthetics of your concrete, but all of our coatings also provide efficiency through longevity/durability, slip resistance, and affordability.
1. Tuscan Slate Concrete Overlay w/Stain with a Tile Pattern
Here at Premier, we love installing shiny concrete floor and one of the most exciting transformations is our Tuscan Slate design. It is has multiple steps, each one different, in achieving the final overall appearance of the coating.
From ugly to awesome, this shiny concrete floor is designed to impress and address all needs of concrete that has been beat up or had previous flooring. Due to our experience, we can consult with our clients on which coating will give them the best end result. Some coatings can cover up any and all history of previous issues with our Tuscan Slate being one of the ultimate decorative options to hide any and all of a concrete floor’s flaws.
Tuscan Slate is perfect for homeowners looking to dress up their basement, patio, and even driveway. If outdoor, there will be needed maintenance every 2 – 4 years as no protective Acrylic sealer can withstand UV Rays from the Sun. With that said, a new coat of Acrylic sealer will need to be applied to protect the integrity of color and concrete. Not expensive, but just something to consider. Premier offers maintenance packages for client’s that have chosen us to install this coating.
2. Metallic Marble Epoxy – Blended Colors
One of the most majestic coatings we offer is our Metallic Marble epoxy design. This shiny concrete floor has a mind of its own, the epoxy and metallic pigment settles itself throughout its drying time thus offering a look unlike any other coating available on the market. When we install this coating, we use various styles of moving the epoxy around on the floor to blend it together. Whether it is a ribbon, swirl, vein, or just mix technique, we walk away knowing that in a couple of hours the floor will look completely different from when we had started.
Perfect for homeowners that have a basement looking for a waterproof solution and an option for a man cave, kids playroom, or something more. This epoxy coating provides homeowners with an easy to clean and maintain solution without the worry of being damaged by uneventful basement flooding.
3. Concrete Wood
Concrete Wood has definitely been one of the main attractions that has put the decorative concrete industry on the map in recent years.We actually are trained and certified by the original installers of the concrete wood design here in Columbus, Ohio.
Since then, this installer has gone on to form his own distribution company in which we purchase our materials from locally here in Western Ohio. Like our Tuscan Slate design, Concrete Wood is also a very fun transformation process as it has multiple stages and the end result is mind boggling. At trade show events, we always bring our samples in which homeowners are always very impressed by the fact that concrete can look exactly like wood. We always remind them, why not have us install our concrete wood and then get the added benefit of concrete (moisture resistant, scratch resistant, easy to maintain).
Concrete Wood is perfect for any existing concrete floor whether it be indoor or out. Like Tuscan Slate, this concrete overlay will need to be maintained every 2 – 4 years by applying an new acrylic sealer to protect color and concrete.
4. Epoxy Flake
Epoxy Flake is one of the best coatings for any situation: whether that be flawed concrete, high traffic concrete, or dirty areas. Originally, Epoxy Flake was the corner stone of our business prior to all the decorative coatings we offer today.
Needless to say, we’ve done a lot of Epoxy Flake projects in the past. Homeowners love Epoxy Flake for a few reasons, one it is very easy to maintain, two it can hide dirt from showing on the floor, and three it still dresses up any existing concrete floor.
This coating has been primarily installed and recognized in garage floors over the years as it is highly durable against vehicle traffic. It has so much popularity that even retail stores carry product lines that cater to DIY’ers that want to install an epoxy flake in their garage. Typically these epoxy kits for DIY’ers last only 2-3 years before failing and are very cheap in price. If you want your Epoxy Flake floor to last as long as your garage call a professional that will take the proper steps to ensuring the integrity of the coating.
