hi,
I'm planning to build a new house (two storey) - I have a fairly limited budget compared to many of the people building two storey houses. The house would probably end up in 300sqm to 350sqm range.
I want polished concrete in my living room, dining, kitchen, passage, entry, scullery, laundry and powder.
I want to carry that concrete pad out into the alfresco (big - 10m x 4m) and get that honed (not polished).
Not sure of exact square meterage as there is no design yet.
I want a white colour, with a grind somewhere between salt and pepper and full - I was wanting Husqvarna Hiperfloor I think.
If I can't have this then I want porcelain, rectified 600x600 tiles with micro group gap (1.5mm) which look as close to polished concrete as possible.
A similar finish level outdoor tiles for the alfresco (but less slippery).
I am mainly wondering what is the cost difference between fancy level 600x600 tiling and polished concrete (to the specifications I've mentioned above)?
Thanks,
dze.
