Who does not love to live in a gorgeous home that radiates elegance and is affordable to construct and design? Today the trendsetters in the world of architecture and interior designing are all huge fans of decorative concrete and the entire aesthetic vibe of being one with nature simultaneously being fancy as per the home owner’s panache and taste.
Interior designing is such a big part of a home, and it is, after all, that presents home to be truly a place of power and sometimes of worship and peace for a few people. A home is a place where an individual relaxes and has their guard down, expecting to feel happy, and this is only possible if they are surrounded by things that will help induce that sense of calm in their mind and spirit.
Today, most homeowners choose to invest in decorative concrete due to its versatility and how refreshing it keeps a home. Australia can sometimes get very sunny, particularly during the bright summers. Hence, it is best to contemplate redoing homes or even build homes by incorporating decorative concrete. It not only makes the site look chic but also helps with temperature control.
Various types of decorative concrete:
Many concrete laying and design styles have inspired people to opt for this rather than the traditional tile flooring. This method is much more economical than conventional flooring. The following points are to shed some light on the various types of concrete decoration and design ideas a homeowner can choose from:
● Epoxy-metallic floor: This specific variety of concrete laying is gaining so much traction in home spaces and commercial spaces. This stunning metallic finish with epoxy and concrete is achieved using pigments mixed and poured over the concrete to create a subtle ornament. The epoxy is poured to give that metallic glossy finish.
● Cement micro topping floor: Now, many homeowners do not have the budget to redo their entire flooring repeatedly, but they desperately need a change in the house, not to worry. Micro-topping is such an amazing alternative to burning a hole in the pocket. It saves a lot of money simply because this technique of laying concrete can be done in homes with a wooden floor, a pre-existing concrete floor, or even tiles. It makes the floor look new with a fantastic smooth finish and increases the overall strength of the floor.
● Stamped floor: The next option available for people to fancy is the stamping technique where the concrete is laid, and then a stamping tool is used to make designs over the wet concrete.
This process is followed by a curing process that is done for a few days for the pattern to set in and not budge with the wind and sun over its aging period and this process also ensures that the final finishing layers get laid on smoothly.
The floor of a home is often undervalued as to how much it can add to the entire aesthetic of the house, but this is certainly changing in people’s perspective. Concrete flooring is coming back in vogue as numerous homes are spotted, making people reconsider their home floor plan altogether!
Well, concrete is indeed promising, and there are more benefits to it than one can imagine.
