Cement Floors Finished

hr

they usually know who's hot and who's not.

Look under decorative concrete in the Yellow pages, and have them check out actual jobs that the potential contractor installed.

It's best to do concrete right the first time. Redo's on botched custom concrete floors are a big pain.

Like choosing and artist, different strokes for different folks.

Finished Cement Floor - over radiant

We have a customer in eastern massachusetts. She is having radiant put in over a cement floor and then wants cement poursed for a finished floor. Does anyone have a cement contractor that they could recommend that does a nice job? Any recommendations would be a great help. Thanks,

Joel Boucher

any decent...

mason should be able to do that. Just add the dye to the concrete. The only trick is getting the concrete co. to mix it in the truck as opposed to throwing it on the poured cement. Check w/ a local masonary supply co. kpc

I have tinted concrete

for the radiant floor. It is imperative to have the slump just right as per the tint manufacturer. We had two mixer loads. Poured half one day and then the other half two days later. There was too much water in the first load and they still had to work very quickly to make sure it did not get stuck in the pump.
They also over finished it. The second load was better but the crew was not skilled enough in finishing despite many many times being told this is the finsihed floor-- no wood, no carpet, no nothing.
We improved the finish by grinding the surface with diamond faced hockey pucks on a rotary floor scrubber weighted down with a 5 gal pail of paint. Ended with 1600 or 1800 grit and got a matt finish with some of the agregate showing. 3 guys 4 days just for grinding.

Pick your supplier and finisher VERY carefully!!
