Restaurant floors need to be tough.  Heavy traffic, spills, broken dishes...all contribute to heavy wear on restaurant flooring.  Acid stained concrete is the best restaurant flooring choice.

Acid stained concrete, or decorative concrete, is the most durable surface for a restaurant or bar.  Concrete is virtually impervious to stains, they simply wipe right up.  No more worrying about grout sealing or pressure washing tile.  We've all been to restaurants that use carpeting in their dining area, it's not a pretty sight.  No matter how often you vacuum or steam clean, food spills just don't come out and they can leave an unpleasant odor to the facility.

Decorative concrete solves every problem restaurants face in the selection and care of their flooring.  Not to mention the beauty of decorative concrete.  Endless arrays of styles, colors and textures are available.  Mosaic Concrete Designers of Saskatoon understands the restaurant and flooring industries.  They have been serving Canadian restaurant owners for years with the highest quality decorative concrete flooring in the industry.

In years past concrete was a single color: gray.  Acid staining initially brought about the ability to color concrete with warm, rich earth tones.  Technology and color theory has come a long way.  Vibrant colors, a true rainbow of possibilities, are now available with concrete as a medium.

Acid stains and pigmented dyes are used alone, or in conjuction with one another, to produce any color desired.  Modern design often calls for striking color contrasts, such as the kitchen in the photo to the right.  Commercial applications utilize coloration that is not often seen in residences, but residential designers are quickly embracing the color wheel available in decorative concrete. 

The Stamp Store of Oklahoma City carries a full line of Artcrete and Procrete stains and dyes to make any color scheme a reality.  They offer hands-on training, allowing the applicator to get a good feel for how to create a specific effect.  Blending colors, base pigments and sheer overlays are taught.

Decorative concrete offers a medium like no other when it comes to coloration of home decor or commercial surfaces.  Its durability and beauty truly offer both form and function.
