I need to figure out how I can get something like this. This is cool.

WOW! WW this is awesome. Here I'm working out just how to make a brew-stand within budget!
Personally I like the mottled look of the floor. It adds character!

High quality epoxy is the way to go, man, especially on a new floor that only has cure time to worry about and not tons of stains, spalling, cracks, etc...
This is what's on my FDA-approved garage floor. I get winter salt, oil, grease... comes right off without a blink of the eye. It is amazing stuff.

It was a toss up between epoxy and stain. Some of the pics I saw of stained floors blew me away. I will say, your floor looks very nice.

The quality of epoxies out there seems to be so variable. This was a multi-step all-solids epoxy from Wolverine. (prime, color, flakes, top-coat & silica).
In the end, as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters. Keep the pics coming. Looks great!

That Wolverine is liquid gold though. WW's floor would have cost what, close to a grand?
I love the stained concrete. I think it is by far the coolest looking thing you can do. I would love to have that in my basement.

If you get it through AlphaGarage in Cali it is actually pretty reasonable (well, by my definition anyway). If you have it professionally installed you had better have good credit rating! I found the prep (shot blasters are not cheap to rent!) and repair cost of a worn surface to be the biggest adder.
I had 450 sq ft and is was roughly $2/sf for material cost if you take out the various repair fillers/levelers I had to use. I think that's very reasonable considering I took the high end option at every turn, haha. |

I have a buddy that does concrete staining in East Texas. His work looks awesome.
