But the gray stuff isn t what it used to be. Technology has allowed concrete to take virtually any color, texture, or shape. And the result has been an abundance of choices for interior applications.
Floors are the most popular interior applications for decorative concrete.
Because of stamping, embossing, and chemstains, clients can request floors that have a tiled look or that give the appearance of limestone. A floor can be stamped with a rubber imprinting tool that contains specific designs to create patterns in the floor, or a contractor can embed items in the floor to add texture. In addition, concrete floors can be acid stained to produce a patina or wood look. The PatTne Artectura system is a combination of several specialized coloring, patterning, texturing, and finishing methods that are blended to create customized effects on concrete flooring. Because concrete is gray, achieving bright colors may be difficult.
