With the current economic state many homeowners are turning to renovations rather than selling their homes. In order to increase house value and appeal, homeowners will update appliances, cabinetry, add a new bathroom and repaint.

Every home owner is looking for a creative flooring concept to tie their renovations together and improve their home. Laminate, hardwood and ceramic tile are the most popular options. If you want to be unique and trendy, decorative concrete floors are the obvious choice.

It is important to realize that a floor is one of the first things you see when walking into a home; hence, floors set the mood for any renovation project. They can make a room look bigger and more comfortable and really control the affects of lighting.

"When most of us think of a concrete floor we visualize ugly grey concrete. When I think of a concrete floor a virtual soup of ideas come to mind. It's like using the horizontal surface of an entire structure as a canvas. Anything is possible. When the floor is complete most who walk on it will not even realize that it's concrete." says the owner Jean-Marc Begin.

Concrete floors can be considered works of art. Each floor has a different unique look. A simple grey slab of concrete can be turned into a marble, granite or tile floor look. Feeling modern? How about a solid dark smooth floor with a glossy finish? A floor can even be made to look like water or the sky. The options are endless. If you want to start a new trend and have your friends and family be amazed, choose a decorative concrete floor.
