Polished concrete recommendations?
Comments (5)Without seeing the job and knowing the substrate it would be hard to give a definite figure. There's a few factors that would affect cost obviously, current substrate/background standard being one. If you were to say that the substrate did not need preparation (other than what is required on any micro cement installation) per m2 you would pay between £80 and £100. The larger the area the cheaper it becomes, the more straight forward the application the cheaper it becomes also. Hope this helps, feel free to visit my website or drop me an email....See MorePolished concrete floor companies?
Comments (10)Hi Tamsinwc, No problem, will get some photos posted - completely forgot about this thread. Difficult question about what to go for. In terms of what we have (polished concrete 8mm depth): Pros: - Looks great - works really well with underfloor heating - easy to clean Cons: - Has started to get some cracks in it with the movement of the house. - Unforgiving on my 1 year old's head! - Unforgiving on my 5 year old's head! - Shows up every bit of dirt. - Can chip if something hard is dropped on it. My wife really likes it and I do as well though in terms of practicality with 2 youngsters, possibly not ideal. Resin looks good if you can stomach the cost and can look very similar to polished concrete though is meant to be a lot nicer underfoot with none of the cracking issues etc. Micro-cement sounded good but we just didn't like the trowel marks you get with it. Will post some photos of our floor....See MoreExtension kitchen layout wobbles.......can anyone offer advice?
Comments (36)Brilliant things to consider Minnie thank you. Only 4 of us in the house, and we do have a seperate dining room. I only want casual bar stool seating for the kitchen but am struggling with where else to place 4 bar stool. Haven't got the width of room to have them all down the side of island facing the wall of units, plus I really like the sleek look of an island and didn't want to interupt that streamlined look by having seating around one end in an L shape. Can't thing of any other option unless someone can thing of something to consider I'd be very grateful. I had my heart set on a mirror splash back but got put off as people said I would have water marks on it all the time from the sink.....is that everyone's experience of a mirror splashback or might I have made a hasty judgement? I was thinking of a washed light grey oak type flooring or a warm oak flooring but was worried if I went for oak ( this would be my colour preference) that it wouldn't work as I will have nothing else oak in the room. It's a south facing room, sun all day and evening so was thinking of a off white light grey tone on the walls and lots of chrome......again struggling to know how to incorporate that and what to put with it colour/ accent/ decor wise to make it feel comfy and not clinical. I'd love dark coloured glass slider but all windows in house are white so I had discounted it. Minnie thanks a million for taking the time on your bumpy train journey to post, I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have your input...See MoreTadelakt or other polished plaster or even concrete in bathroom?
Comments (5)Hi Lucy, Loving the concept you have chosen! i would recommend you do the Tadelakt on the long bath wall as you are planning, plus all three walls in the shower area. i would also do the bulkheads on both sides. Then either tile or paint the rest of the bathroom (its a bit difficult to judge without seeing the space properly). If budget allows, i would do the whole room and ceiling in Tadelakt. In my experience its easier to keep clean than grouted mosaic tiles in a wet area. I completely understand your concerns about Tadelakt so heres a useful article about maintenance. i would use this same cleaning process for the whole bathroom and use an E cloth (which is so you wont need to use any other chemicals). the article also recommends that if you do need to use cleaning products elsewhere then its best to spray the cloth and then clean. https://betterhomeblog.com/how-to-take-care-of-tadelakt/ I also agree with you about the larger hexagonal tiles. Hope that helps. Would love to see photos of the finished space! Regards, Shareen...See More
