Floored for choice

No two homes or families are the same; that’s why it’s important to find a flooring solution to suit your own unique needs.

Your choice of flooring is key when it comes to pulling the look and feel of a room together. It will form the basis of the décor scheme you want to establish in your home.

Thanks to constantly evolving technology, homeowners have more options than ever. Use this guide when you’ve had enough of those chipped tiles or worn wooden floors…

#1 CEMENT

Durable, hygienic and easy to clean, a floor with a cement finish is a practical choice that suits almost any décor style. Cement finish floors also require very little maintenance.

Why cement? Added dyes and hardening substances can turn cement into your home’s main attraction. The options are almost limitless and prices range from downright cheap to relatively pricey, depending on the decorative finish.

Advantages Properly sealed cement floors shrug off dirt, grit, stains and spills. A broom and a damp mop is all that’s required to keep these floors looking like new. Custom dyes, hardening agents and cementitious overlays produce finishes in a wide range of natural colours.
