This project was completed for a chocolate retailer in the Philadelphia area with custom concrete floors stain to match their image. A water based epoxy sealer was applied which intensified the color adding a durabale high traffic protective coating.

The floor was resurfaced with Sgrafino, a thin decorative concrete overlay applied at about 1/16th inch thick. Sgraffino comes in a white or gray fine concrete mix and in this case was colored with chocolate brown using water based dyes.

Sgrafino produces a slight texture similar to sandstone. Unlimted colors can be achieved by adding iron oxide colored pigments, topical water based dyes and stains or a combination of both. Patterns can be created with decorative saw cuts or strapping tape. For added customization graphics can be applied like in the photo below of a southwestern style carpet that is stained into a Sgraffino surface.

Engrave A Crete has tools that make staining concrete floors extrordinary. I own some of the tools in the Engrave A Crete line, they are excellent. Like a fine watch or an Italian sports car they are perfect.

I've done floors for some very discriminating clients with great success. It wasn't me, it was the tools. The photos featured here are examples of the results that can achieved with their tools. Intricate detail requires patience, but if you have the desire and the tools, you can create amazing artwork on a floor.

Staining concrete floors never comes out perfect, that's the nature of concrete. However, creating designs and artwork, makes what might be considered flaws, natural. And if you are looking for a niche business that puts you in a class of your own, this is it. Guaranteed the word about your skills will spreaad fast.
