Look Carefully At The Floor Because That’s NOT Hardwood… Prepare To Be Blown Away!

When it comes to home interior design, everyone is all about hardwood floors these days. And with good reason! Hardwood has a gorgeous, natural look, coming in a wide variety of colours, woodgrain patterns, and finishes. But even if you opt for engineered hardwood over the real stuff, it can get expensive in a hurry. Plus, it’s not all roses when it comes to hardwood. This flooring certainly has its share of problems. For example, even with fancy coatings to add a layer of protection, it can still be fairly easy to scratch and put dents into the wood. Having lived in a house with hardwood and a very large dog, I can tell you that my floor was all kinds of damaged. I tried to reason it by saying that it added a lot of “character” to my home, but who was I kidding?

But have a look at this video by Decorative Concrete Kingdom. Watch as a rustic concrete floor is completely transformed to look like hardwood flooring. It sounds crazy, but the end result is actually very impressive! The process involves shot blasting the concrete to help level the floor and prepare it for treatment, adding a pigmented polymer cement base, carefully laying down fiber tape to mask out the hardwood plank outlines, creating a wood grain with spray, and then hand-staining each plank before adding layers of epoxy.

A lot of work? Yes. But you get the beauty of hardwood floors with the toughness and resilience of concrete! Watch the video below and prepare to be blown away. Have you ever seen anything like this?
