Concrete is a reliable and sturdy foundation. Concrete is long-lasting and cost-effective. However, concrete does not have to be a flat and dull slab. Whether your concrete is on a patio, in a warehouse, or a garage, there are multiple ways to beautify your flooring. Decorative concrete uses concrete as more than a construction medium. It enhances flooring while still allowing it to function as a supportive building structure. The followings are five decorative concrete solutions, including:

1. Polish

Polished concrete involves the use of machines to grind down the surface of the concrete to achieve the desired gloss and smoothness. The smooth, polished concrete surface creates a reflective surface that attracts a wide array of design options such as radial lines, patterns and coloring. The high reflectivity presents a sharp and professional image.

2. Exposed

Exposed aggregate concrete is an easy way to achieve a unique aesthetic. The process involves removing the top surface layer of concrete to expose the aggregate beneath. The irregular size rocks, pebbles, gravel and stone underneath furnish a unique character. Coloring exposed aggregate highlights the natural richness below.

3. Coating

Epoxy floor coatings such as decorative quartz, self-leveling and epoxy mortar coatings offer dramatic looks. From metallic shine to color matching, matte to a glossy finish, and speckled to solid designs, floor coatings provide unlimited design options.

4. Dye

When you crave a mottled appearance, concrete dyes are the perfect solution. These coloring agents create rich, vibrant tones. The immense variety of dye colors makes it possible to achieve any color combination and pattern you desire.

5. Stain

Topical stains produce warm and earthy colors on interior concrete floors. Stains enhance the natural color of concrete and add a variegated finish. While color options are limited to browns, reds, blues, and greens, colors can be mixed and layered to multiply your design options.
