Polished Concrete Floors
Concrete has traditionally been thought of a something you see on a factory floor, garage or in the backyard.
Many buildings have concrete floors and traditionally these have been covered with carpet, tiles or timber. With homes now mainly being built with slab on ground, homeowners have spent many hours agonising over how to cover the plain concrete to turn their house into a home.
Today with advances in grinding equipment and concrete densifiers and the availability of stains/dyes, these same floors can now be turned into a feature of the decor.
Polished concrete floors add warmth to the building or home. They are environmentally friendly and aid in the cooling and heating of the structure.
Regal Floors has closely been following trends overseas, where polished concrete is fast becoming and alternative and highly desirable flooring solution.
Acid stained concrete floors offer an ideal and distinctive look to the floor. Whether it is faux marble, solid colour, elegant hues or artistic design, they are all possible with the use of stains and dyes to decorate a dull, boring grey concrete floor.
No longer are concrete floors to be viewed as something that needs to be covered with timber, carpet or tiles. By utilising the new technology in stains and dyes, Regal Floors creates an individual and ideal floor.
Trends overseas show this flooring alternative to be equally suited to offices, showrooms and retail stores, as they are in homes. When combined with polished concrete, stained floors are ideal.
Polishing of concrete can be done to new concrete as well as existing concrete. New concrete can now be ordered with decorative aggregate as to further individualise the floor.
