If you have plans to install concrete flooring in your home, do not even assume that you would need to hide them under an additional layer of expensive flooring material like hardwood, natural stones or tiles.

Thanks to modern methods of treating and decorating concrete, homeowners across the UK are leaving the concrete floors and surfaces in their homes exposed. There are plenty of ways coloured concrete can liven up your home.

The following sections will shed light on three of them.

Let’s begin:

Integral coloured concrete is in trend these days

Ask your coloured concrete supplier to choose this method if your home is a new one and the reason is simple – 

Integral colouring of concrete surfaces and floors is a simple method of infusing colours in the form of dyes or stains to newly finished concrete surfaces and floors.

It is an affordable solution and the best part; the results are far more attractive compared to the two more methods of colouring concrete that will be mentioned in this post, in the following sections.

Integral coloured concrete is the perfect option for you if you want to achieve uniformity in the colour tones of the concrete floors and surfaces of your home minus variations.

Stained concrete is in vogue as well

One of the most popular methods of modifying or simply renovating concrete floors in a residence these days is staining. Stained concrete is by far the most popular option adopted by homeowners and the reason is simple – it allows them to make the concrete surfaces in their home look the way they want. Concrete surfaces can be stained to achieve any look and meet any budget requirements. 

You can ask your coloured concrete and liquid limestone supply contractor to apply stain on both old and new concrete surfaces as well as floors. If you are planning to make sure the concrete surfaces in your home look bold, be sure to ask the contractor to use water-based stains. Else, chemical-based stains should suffice!

Concrete with metallic finish can prove to be a game-changer

Concrete with metallic finish allows a home to increase its wow factor. If your home has concrete floors or you have plans to renovate the floors, you can choose coloured concrete with a metallic finish. This will allow you to make sure that your home’s concrete floors replicate the overall appearance of:

• Copper
• Silver
• Aged bronze
• Nickel
• Gold and whatnot!

Given you have chosen a reliable coloured concrete contractor, bear this in mind, some finishes may or may not contain metallic powders. So choose your contractor wisely.

Concrete with a metallic finish is the ideal solution for homeowners who want to live in a home with contemporary vibes!

It is evident by now that coloured concrete is far more appealing, affordable and easy to customise when compared to other flooring materials. For the best results, always hire a reliable, renowned and experienced coloured concrete contractor. It is the only way you will be able to get the highest value from the money you will be spending – get the idea!?
