Stained Concrete Floors Are Becoming Increasingly Popular in Offices, Homes, Retail Stores

There was a time when concrete floors were viewed as strictly utility, but that concept is fast changing. Stained concrete floors are becoming increasingly popular in offices, homes, retail stores and trendy restaurants. Concrete offers limitless options in colors and designs and are a great choice for those who want allergy friendly flooring. Decorative concrete can be stained, painted, textured, patterned and saw cut. It can be naturally colored to blend in seamlessly with the rest of the décor. Concrete technology has come a long way. The staining used in stained concrete permeates through to infuse the flooring with deep, rich, translucent tones. Stained concrete can be made to look like natural stone, polished marble, stained wood or even tanned leather. Some stain manufacturers offer concrete dyes which give a floor a 'variegated', 'mottled' or even 'antique' appearance. Because of its versatility, concrete has broad appeal with architects and interior decorators today. The stained concrete pictures below were created by Cary Grant from Floor Seasons in Las Vegas. Cary created the fish with braces for an orthodontist office and the Fleur de Lis for a personal residence. Artists like Cary can literally transform your floor into a work of art.
