Barnett Design Studio i poured my slab. had #3 r-bar at 12" o.c. then scored the concrete in 4'x4' grid. we did and acid "stain". it really isn't a stain because it reacts with the concrete chemically.. grinded it down.(to expose aggregate) but i have forgotten the product we used to seal the floor! i think it was a wet seal normally used for wood. it has a nice "wet" glossy look to it like this floor. I have forgotten what it was unfortunately :(
Here are just some of the benefits of concrete floors.Sustainability. Concrete floors are a sustainable option if you use an existing concrete slab, avoiding the consumption of new materials. And they need not be relegated to basements or garages. Once the concrete is sanded down and polished or sealed, it looks perfectly refined in a traditional kitchen or living room, especially when layered with Oriental rugs and pretty furnishings and fixtures.
If you already have concrete floors I believe its actually cheaper to do the sanding painting and staining.. its just eligant and beautiful. and the floors may be hard but their beautiful and easier to clean and also you could get an accessorie added to your floor.. like a nice rug.. why cover a beautiful character?

More concrete floors. Notice that this one has no baseboard nor door trim.
