Basement Floors

Customize basement floors with concrete

So many homeowners have full or partial basements that can be transformed into living space. Current real estate sales reports show that finishing a basement ranks just behind kitchen and bathroom renovations in maximizing the return on the homeowners investment. Often times, refinishing a basement can be much less expensive than other renovation projects.

Some things to consider when thinking about a customized concrete flooring for your basement:

• Basements are naturally insulated by the earth, which means they're cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
• Some basement floors have a few cracks. No problem! Some homeowners like the rustic fractured look that can be achieved by staining the floor and leaving minor random cracks exposed.Or cement-based overlay is an easy solution for hiding those cracks and the interior concrete floor can then be treated with decorative treatments, including staining, stamping, and stenciling.
• With decorative concrete, theres also no risk of chemical emissions from new carpeting, which can be especially hazardous in basement spaces that arent well ventilated. Carpets also are a breeding ground for dust mites and other allergens. Keep your basement a healthy place for your family to relax and have fun.
• Decorative concrete can also endure water exposure from occasional seepage into the basement after heavy rains, unlike water-sensitive floor coverings that can peel up, warp, or mildew. Homeowners will save money by avoiding the replacement and recovery costs of carpets if this situation ever occurs.
