Concrete floors can look tired and boring after a few years. Concrete Colour Systems suggests four ideas for floor renovation that will help you refresh and revive your old concrete flooring at home in an affordable way. Suitable for both interior and exterior use, these ideas range from a bright resurfacing overlay system to stylish polished concrete and coloured tints to epoxy systems.
Polished Concrete
Breathe new life into your existing concrete floor by polishing it to a stunning glossy finish. The concrete surface is first mechanically ground, followed by the application of the CCS Luxstone concrete polishing system. This innovative system hardens and protects the surface while providing superior shine and reflectivity. Recommended for interior floors, polished concrete can be delivered in low, medium or high gloss reflectivity that is low maintenance and extremely durable.
Concrete Colour Systems recommends a formal inspection by a tradesperson to check the condition of your concrete floor and ensure it is suitable for polishing.
Resurfacing Overlays
Resurfacing overlays are ideal for homeowners who love colours and patterns. An overlay system is used to resurface the existing concrete, allowing the addition of freeform designs, textures and colours to suit your aesthetic preferences. CCS Stylepave overlay system is a high strength, cement-based, coloured mortar that is sprayed onto the existing concrete surface and then sealed for protection.
Resurfacing overlays are affordable, durable and low maintenance, and considered a great option for refreshing your driveway or outdoor walkways.
Concrete Tints
Concrete surfaces can also be rejuvenated and enhanced cost-effectively with the CCS Colour Master sealer tint system. Coating concrete with an opaque wash of UV resistant colour, the sealer system penetrates the surface and maintains the natural texture of the concrete while also providing protection against oil, grease and tyre marks.
Also recommended for driveways and outdoor areas, concrete tints offer a durable, low maintenance and long-lasting solution along with a choice of 12 colours.
Epoxy Flooring
Every home has a few high-use, high-activity areas such as a rumpus room or garage. If you are looking to renew an old interior concrete floor in these spaces, epoxy flooring is an excellent solution. Epoxy floors are extremely durable, smooth and easy to maintain, plus you can choose from a solid colour, metallic or flake finish depending on what works best in your home.
If you prefer colour and metallics, make a statement with a completely bespoke finish that will grab everyone’s attention. Alternatively, go for a speckled multi-colour finish with CCS’ Galaxy Flake Floor, which is great at hiding unwanted dirt or marks, making it ideal for playrooms and garage floors. If simplicity is more your style, select a solid colour epoxy floor that provides both strength and durability.
