[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently considered stained concrete for our basement as we are currently finishing it. http://www.google.com/search?q=stained+concrete+flooring&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a[/quote] The stained concrete looks beatiful! [/quote] A family member who is a commercial architect told me that, although stained concrete is very fashionable for commercial applications right now, it is a pain to do properly, ends up being more expensive than flooring, and doesn't hold up well. It's very difficult to get the concrete to take the stain evenly, even when the concrete is poured for this purpose. He said that they had one job where the crew left a ladder sitting on the concrete for too long, and when they applied the stain, they could see the outline of the ladder (and there was no way to get it out).
