I am about to renovate an old house and am contemplating polished concrete in open plan living kitchen etc. Anyone have any advice? I love the look but am worried it will date. Also worried about cracks? i know it will be cold and hard, we will put underfloor heating in. Any advice on pros and cons would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
