Prices depend on five main factors.
Treated concrete floor.
Installing framing members on a slab requires use of a pressure treated bottom board to avoid wood rot.
A polished concrete floor costs 2 690 on average with most homeowners paying between 1 540 and 3 840.
The colors are even carried through to the walls and artwork in the space.
And how their prices compare to alternative flooring options.
7 to 14 per square foot.
15 to 30 for a high end customized floor.
Chemical cleaners are formulated for concrete but use only products that are rated for colored or treated concrete.
Two common nail options are shown below.
7 to 14 for a mid range design.
Rather than the concrete having a cold industrial feel the colors serve to create a vibrant modern design.
These plates must be made of pressure treated lumber since concrete has a tendency to wick moisture from the ground.
2 to 6 per square foot for a basic design.
What elements those might include.
Concrete flooring cost ranges between.
Sweep the floor thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.
Staining is done in 4 basic steps.
Polishing 200 square feet of existing concrete could cost anywhere from 600 to 6 000 or up to 6 600 if you need concrete poured.
Apply the stain clean and neutralize the stain seal the surface to protect it long term.
The easiest approach is simply to nail the wood to the concrete.
If untreated wood is used for the bottom board the high moisture level will promote rapid decay.
The obvious way to incorporate a pressure treated base board is to use one in lieu of a regular untreated board for the bottom member of the wall.
Concrete floors can be cleaned by mechanical chemical or steam cleaning.
Mechanical cleaning involves a brush and an abrasive cleaner to scour the surface of the floor.
The cut nail and the concrete nail.
Concrete slabs will wick moisture between the underlying dirt base and the wood members sitting on top of the slab.
This price range includes pouring the slab or overlay then polishing and staining with multiple colors.
Anyplace where wood meets the ground or concrete the lumber must be pressure.
Clean and prepare the concrete.
These nails are driven through a board and into concrete underneath much like nailing a wood board to a wood floor.
A basic concrete floor design includes pouring the slab or overlay then a basic polishing and single colorizing treatment staining or dyeing.
