Decorative concrete installed as interior floors are becoming the chic alternative to tile and carpet. The versatility of style and design with concrete overlays are catching the eyes of designers and architects world wide.
Staging an interior project has it's benefits (more profit and no weather concerns) and it's disadvantages... Interior floor finishes are more time consuming in inhabited spaces. More prep work, dust control and a sharper eye to detail are a must. Wet vacs and dust shrouds with a good dust collection system are your new best friends. This equipment can be rented at reasonable rates.
1. Keep it simple: Less is more, keep your sample boards muted. Most property owners, commercial or residential do not want their floor to be the dominant feature of the building or home.
2. If saw scoring a pattern, always include a border around the perimeter. (you can't saw right up to the wall)
3. Lighter earth tones with an accent seem to a good starting point. Start out with a border of darker color and a tile cut on a 45 degree in large tiles and design from there.
That's a start. I will include more tips in upcoming posts and lots of tips in the upcoming classes.
