Concrete Wood Stages
|
To get the finished rustic wood look a step process is followed. First, we diamond grind each floor to both level them out, and to open the pores of the concrete. We then apply the base coat, which is the first layer of a modified cement. Next, we tape out the wood pattern and apply the second cement coat adding texture over the whole surface. Once that is dry we remove the tape and hand stain the "planks" in the color our client chooses. The final step is the seal coat, which if used inside we apply a 100% solid epoxy and a urethane over top, but if outside it gets two coats of an acrylic sealer.
