My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Floor tile

13 years ago
Do you think stained concrete can be made to look like these tiles? I love them but think they are very expensive. I saw some at a local store and they were $8 a sq ft. Do you know of any that are similiar for less? The metalic tiles I am refering to.

    It's a leveling compounds combined with a water restistant coating. Schonox self leveling compound cement based. Use a roller with spikes to divide over the floor. Then use a two component epixy coating to seal. It take one week to dry. The first layer has to dry 2 days.

      Is it for in the bathroom? Or just living room?

      I am in need of flooring for the whole house. What might look like these tiles and cost under $3-$4 a sq ft?

      You can use what we call in dutch egaline. It's used to make your floors equal. Then cover it with a anti water coating. You can use colour and a brush to make it look like concrete

      These tiles are 100 euros per square meter.. Unfortunately..

      I wish I could understand what egaline is exactly. Is it a leveling compound? Maybe you can send me more information on the product and technique you are referring to. thank you
