Tom & Barbie’s Shop #1

This was nice concrete before but it was real slick. That won’t do for a shop that doubles as a pool house. Too many slip & falls. The solution is a thin layer of 4278 psi brushed concrete. Thin as a credit card. I scored it into planks 7-1/4″ wide, stained it solid first, then brushed in some highlights for the old/antique look. Notice how the planks can be turned to run long where they need to. That’s a trick that’s nearly impossible to do with today’s flooring. Notice the transition pattern. Smooth & flat. Long wide planks always look good on an antique floor. The hallway planks are around 8″ wide so that the sides would wind up evenly divided.
