Thanks for the vid! Do I need to use a specific type of mesh?

I like the industrial contemporary look of this type of floor. It goes nicely with stainless steel and wood and it's pretty low maintenance.

Floor looks good, I like the look. Butttt why in the world didn't you pull the baseboards up, do your concrete floor and then put the base back in? Way better finished look.

Because that’s carpentry…and they wanna have nothing to do with that 😂

never thought of using a blower to help even out a self leveler, Ill try it next time to see how it works. I use the wire roller from Rapid Set after gauge raking and it does a really good job of leveling off any high spots and release any entrapped air but will leave an orange peel type finish which I dont like. I like your idea of mixing the two separate colored batches to get a mottled look.

Is elastocrete some sort of polymer based concrete? What are the water resistance and fire resistance properties?

Great job, congratulations! I would like to know if this product is available for sale in Europe, please. I live in Germany. thanks!

What if the tile was not properly installed and some tiles come lose later? Will that damage the overlay of concrete ?

Agreed - this is a sloppy install in that sense, only done for the current homeowner with no notion of future re-sale value. Anyone who buys this home in the future and decides to renovate will have a nightmare on their hands ... the baseboards and the cabinetry are below-grade. So you can’t replace them easily. And if you do rip them out, you now have massive gaps in your flooring. That’s just a terrible long-term idea. Given the amount of effort put forward for this overlay, it’s not that much extra work to rip out the baseboards and cabinetry. I feel terrible for whomever buys this home in the future. Surprise!

This pour was 3/8" thick over the tile. The only way to level this new floor with the other tile is to rip out that tile in the room that we poured. We ended up pouring over the floor in the hallway as well so thats why we weren't worried about that.

@wayne251975

I would say if the tile is in good shape and is on a good and solid substrate there isn't any real reason to pull it up. Just understand the density of terracotta or ceramic isn't quite the same as these high performance concretes. Therefore if something gets dropped on the floor and it is very hard it could damage the floor easier than it would of if you had removed all of it and finished the concrete that is there.

Better hope your subfloors aren't weakened and never get any rotted panels. Bad sections of floor are a common problem in manufactured homes, at least in humid areas - and having to chop through concrete to lay down a new board will make it a giant job!

Why not tear out tile floor?

aren't these floors a little likely to chip and crack and what not? A thin concrete layer just makes me nervous.

Can you put that straight onto a sub floor? Must you use tile?

So, I have a concrete floor in Costa Rica that was poorly sealed and cured, I want this look. I don't need the mesh, just the effect. The concrete finish on the floor is a sort of a stucco (they call it "paint" but it's a powder) they mix, trowel, then sponge it in irregular circles to a sort of a soapstone or slate looking varied surface finish. Could we use this product and is it something we could bring and mix there? Costa Rica has a really limited selection of supplies.

Spiked Shoes ... whenever you install epoxy, you wear special “sandal”-like spiked platform shoes that wrap around your normal workboot. Given that each spike is like a small needle, the second an entire shoe steps out of the wet epoxy, the spikes don’t leave a single trace.

Ive been installing concrete overlays and micro toppings since 1999 and nothing about this installation was amateurish. I would have used a floor machine or grinder instead of the hand held but thats just personal choice. They did a good job here. I dont feel too good about going over tile but have done it many times through out the years with not a single issue. If its all in good cond and sound than no problem.
