Flooring

12 years ago
I've noticed you showcase many beautiful concrete porcelain floors throughout your homes. I'm debating whether or not to go completely with stone or incorporate hardwood. Logical transition may be problematic. Do your clients love the flooring? And, are you a fan of using a border of porcelain with wood? I realize you can't see my dilemma but this decision is a tough one. any rules of thumb? Thank you BIG.

    clients love concrete because it is very durable and easy to clean. the cost is also less then most other materials. if im using wood i dont use borders but it depends on your style. typically i would make material transitions at thresholds from space to space. the transition can be cleaner if you use a metal schluter strip - hope this helps

    The concrete floors are really beautiful... a couple of questions if I may... did you use a tint in the concrete mix? How did you treat them (are they lightly sanded and sealed or polished)? What kind of sealer did you specify (satin, gloss, acrylic, polyurethane)? Hoping to replicate your finish over here in Australia :)
