Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Jul 18, 2012 11:19 pm I was set on having a white wash floor but hubby We are heading towards Blackbutt timber instead {well its more of a 'everyone does it so it's safe} but I have just thought for the same price (maybe a little more) we could have Polished Concrete in either grey or white to achieve the 'scandi' look Im after.... Anyone have any pics they would like to share? Is it colder than tiles? Thanks again in advance. : : : : : : : : : : : : 2014 | Time to move to the country 2012 | Our Build with Dale Alcock https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61943 Re: Concrete Flooring 2Jul 20, 2012 10:36 am Just do a search for polished concrete on this forum and you will find a ton of links. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49408&p=787487&hilit=polished+concrete+cost#p787487 Re: Concrete Flooring 3Jul 24, 2012 1:57 am Polished concrete pricing depends on the level of exposure you want to see , if your concrete is already placed you are at the mercy of whatever you get , When wanting polished concrete you should always talk to your concrete supplier in advance and ask for a mix design that is fit for purpose . You can have a white polished concrete floor but who knows what aggragate placement is like within your slab , it would be no colder than tiles as it would retain heat much better from the day because of its thermal mass anything else shout out Re: Concrete Flooring 4Jul 24, 2012 9:58 am Getjason ... it would be no colder than tiles as it would retain heat much better from the day because of its thermal mass anything else shout out Thats what I thought, just easier to ask than to try and search for the info. Thanks, have been in contact with one so awaiting a price... : : : : : : : : : : : : 2014 | Time to move to the country 2012 | Our Build with Dale Alcock https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61943 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6191 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 15907 |
