Cohills Stained Concrete Flooring Video

Stained concrete flooring is a big market. You’ve probably seen it and walked on it maybe not realizing it’s concrete. I’m starting to see it everywhere. I was in a Whole Foods grocery market in Westport Connecticut recently. The entire store was a dark brown stained concrete floor. It was really nice.

I spoke to the store manager about the floor to find out what they think about it. The first comment was they don’t have to think about it, one less thing they have to worry about. They like the way it looks and the customers make positive comments about the floor. They have a maintenance crew that comes in and keeps it clean. They have never had an issue. When something breaks it’s easy to keep clean.

The manager summed it up

  1. Clean – Easy to clean.
  2. Durable
  3. Customers Like it

I might add that stained concrete doesn’t chip or peel. So long as seal coats are maintained floor maintence is easy.

Pricing is another key factor. Stained concrete flooring materials are inexpensive. I recently stained and sealed my garage floor. The cost was about 70 cents per square foot.

Versatility is another key feature of stained concrete. Here are some flooring ideas.

  1. Basements
  2. Garage floors
  3. Restaurants
  4. Retail stores
  5. Office Buildings
  6. Industrial buildings
  7. Marinas
  8. Barns

I could go on. Anywhere there is unattractive concrete.
