Decorative Concrete Alternative to Tile

Sand Springs contractor Hawkeye Custom Concrete, gives homeowners pause when they are considering tile flooring.  One look at Hawkeye’s scored and stained floors makes you look twice to realize it isn’t exquisite, expensive tile.

Hawkeye scores the substrate in a tile pattern, in any shape or configuration that is desired.  They then apply an acid stain to mirror the subtle coloration nuances of hand made tiles or natural stone.  A high gloss sealer wraps it all up in a shiny package that continues to glow year after year.

Decorative concrete flooring is an economical alternative to tile or natural stone.  Often thousands of dollars less, it offers considerable value for the investment.  Choosing decorative concrete is smart alternative to tile.

Utilizing only the hottest, most current design techniques in the concrete industry, McHugh Construction Inc. is the leader when it comes to decorative cement flooring in Appleton Wisconsin and surrounding cities.

When you need a cost-effective flooring system for your home, office, restaurant, retail space, or commercial building, look no further than concrete. Not only will a decorative concrete flooring system lower your utility bills (thermal mass allows for concrete to keep a constant temperature year-round), you will reduce your space’s risk of fire, water and mold damage (concrete is flame retardant and will not support mold or mildew). Concrete floors are ridiculously easy to clean, and are entirely hypo-allergenic (dirt cannot become trapped in concrete like it can with wood or carpet).

Concrete flooring can be stained any color of the rainbow and can be polished to a glass-like finish, or it can be texturized. Design possibilities are vast these days; Appleton’s best decorative concrete contractor can apply stamping (imprinted or patterned designs) and/or acid staining. When you need something simpler, but still want it to look great, perhaps polished cement flooring is the way to go. If you don’t know exactly what design you want, but know that concrete is what you want, McHugh will lend you their design expertise.

Decorative Concrete Flooring can be Utilized in the Following Spaces:

• Custom Homes
• Retail Spaces

A concrete floor is tough and durable; however, it is not impervious to all assaults or stains. Concrete can pit, chip or spall. Because it is a porous material, the concrete can also suck up stains, especially if it is not sealed or the sealant has flaked off. Regular maintenance can slow down the appearance of some damages, but eventually you will find yourself facing more than minor problems.

To repair damaged concrete, your first option is to conduct a simple spot repair. This is smart if it is a very small area and your floor color can be easily matched. However, if you have a custom finish that has been in place for a while, matching the color, design and texture perfectly may be nearly impossible. For better results or for slightly larger areas of damage, consider using a skim coat. A professional concrete contractor will hand trowel a very thin layer of concrete onto the existing surface. New color can be mixed in or can be applied as a regular stain. The existing flooring must be in relatively good condition, meaning that while a skim coat might work for very minor dents and staining, it will not be good for spalled concrete or other damages.

Another option is to use a polymer overcoating process, which is used to resurface and level low spots. The material is applied on top of the concrete and will be around ¼ inch thick. This option is good for dents and pits as well as for spalling concrete and extensive staining. Once this process is completed, the materials can be stained to take on the correct color and other techniques such as stamping, etching or scoring can be used to give the floor new design and style.

When a new building is built, there are a number of considerations to kept in mind:  1) The project must be planned with a set budget.  2) The building should incorporate as many green building materials and techniques as possible.  3) The finished project should be as durable and as long-lasting as possible without the need for time-consuming maintenance.  Many commercial buildings designers turn to concrete for their choice of flooring for these and many other reasons.

Polished concrete for your building is an option that is well worth some exploration.  Many of the floors that you walk on while shopping or conducting business are actually polished concrete, rather than tile or other flooring options; it is simply made to look like the more expensive floor systems.  Grocery stores, hospitals and professional office buildings use polished concrete since it is durable, economical and easy to care for. Another advantage in the commercial setting is the ability to quickly and easily change its appearance without having to tear up an entire floor to do so, meaning far less disruption to business. Natural Wonder Floors by Perfect Polish can be added while the building is in use and fully occupied, meaning less cost through disruptions and time lost from work.

Using polished concrete flooring in your new building project simply makes sense.  The materials will cost less, it looks great for far longer than other flooring systems, and it will qualify as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) choice as well.
