Written by parkercrete (Parker, Colorado) 

Conventional flooring construction has often adhered to traditional techniques, applications and materials when it comes to interior surfaces. This has not been the case, in recent years, with many contractors looking to shave a little off of the materials cost due to economic contrainsts and seasonal slowdown. While tile, hardwood, and linoleum are still the reigning champions of America's kitchens and bathrooms, a little known contender is taking a bite out of their market share.

Enter Concrete flooring.

It's underneath just about every surface on your single story house; and guaranteed to be in the foundation somewhere! But why limit the use of this readily available medium to just hidden and outdoor 'plain gray'  use?

With the re-emerging techniques of stamping, coloring and carving concrete it has become the strongest proponent to an easily maintainable, recycleable, repairable, and virtually indestructable form of interior surfacing.

Whether you're looking for countertops, floors, sinks, entryways, walls, steps or stonescaping, decorative concrete can be placed in less time, with the same look, and with a much lower cost per square yard than ANY competing building material (well, there is still linoleum... but!).

Quick Tips

Never clean hardwood floors with water or water-based products. Clean with wood finish only when necessary and only the soiled areas, not the entire floor.
