Post by twentyeight7 »

I am in the last leg of construction and im now looking for a flooring. My entire live room is wood so i cant very well put wood on the floor as not to look like a sauna. Any sugestions of hard flooring types.

Chris

You know, you always do an acid stain on the concrete. From what I understand it's cheap, fast and easy.

Here is a website I found doing a quick search on Google for concrete stain: http://www.concrete-stains.com/


Your space will be very, very live though. Are you going to treat the room?

There's a coffee shop locally that has a stained concrete floor. It looks great but I gather the stuff is really toxic to put down. You could always paint it.

Didn't think about that. I just like the look of it.

Since it is an acid based stain yeah... I imagine you have to be careful becuase it would be a bit toxic ;-)

Still, we'll be doing that on the concrete floors in the large portion of the garage.

It's going to look great Lunatic, just make sure you have plenty of ventilation while you do it.
Thanks for the link, I'll put it in the Products forum. :)

I agree! I really like the styling and ease of application. I'll be sure and post pics during the staining so people can get a feel for what's involved and what it really looks like.

That would be awesome! Thanks for the offer. You really are kind. I'll see if I can get some photos going in the next week.

It'll be interesting as I'm building this myself. Hey... at least I won't be *in* the photos :lol:

Thanks,

That *must* be a Members Only site.

WHERE DO I JOIN!


I can just see it now, my face super-imposed over some body-building porn star.

Just don't show my wife :shock:
