Painting concrete floors
A plain concrete floor can be easily transformed with paint and stencilled design
Despite its many wonderful attributes, concrete slabs can be boring. Whether we are talking about a concrete verandah, a pathway or a driveway, there is something very uninspired about the flat, dull look of grey concrete.
Concrete lasts longer if it is protected with a clear concrete sealer so that water does not permeate the surface. In addition to sealer there are other special-purpose products designed for concrete surfaces.
Specially formulated concrete paints for example help keep minerals in the concrete from leaching through paint and hardening into a white, dusty film.
